Post Perception and Manifestation!

Huhuh! I been wondering, as I do, and these two words are stuck on my mind! I trying, but nothing I do seems to get them out of me! Nothing at all, so I figured, I'll share! No good being selfish now! Seeing as some are willing.

You see, I take words composed of the A B C, and I use them to describe whats in my head. But when I look at them, they look nothing like what I thought. It don't matter how much I try, the words just do not look like the picture I had in my head have when I began. Oh! there're close, pretty close, but I wondering, how close?

Don't get me wrong now, I really try. I have the A B C written on the wall of my room so I can always know what they look like. I have a dictionary which I have a close relationship with so I know which letters of the alphabet follow which to form meaningful words, but all the same, the picture I paint with them is not a full manifestation of what I thought to begin with, though I must admit, it aint far off.

When I read what others have written, I understand what I understand, the question however is, "do I exactly understand what they are trying to tell me?" Do I really understand? (of course, I do not expect you to know the answer to that!) But it goes even further than that!

There are many that say what God told them; there's plenty of it in the 'Books'; and there's many 'Books' at that! I was thinking, is what God manifested exactly what the writers perceived? Does the picture they paint with words exactly mirror what they saw? I mean, when Moses says the bush was burning, was it exactly the case that the bush was literally on fire? Or when Balaam's donkey was talking, did the donkey really talk? Did a dove really drop on the head of the Annointed? And did the ocean really split in two so the Israelites coud get away from the Egyptians?

Now, I know one is supposed to take somethings on faith, but well, you all must by now know the problem I have with that! I mean, if God made me in His image, and gave me all the powers He had, I just might be thinking (actually, I am thinking!) I'd just say, "let there be light", and there should be light! Not that I want to be tempting God or nothing! No, I don't. But if I was in the exact image, and I didn't know, and don't say, "let there be light", just because I was not seeing the manifestation right, well, would I not be like the one who placed their talent under the bed and never used it, multiplying it, as should be the case!? And not because I never wanted to use it, but, because, I just never understood!

Well, I figured, and I wondered, so I reckoned, I'd ask, rather than just merely assume, like I did when I assumed wrongly, that no one read what I wrote; does what one perceives, exactly mirror what is manifested? Does the individuals perception really mirror the manifestation? Help!
