Arcadia

Crab Pool

When I lived in Broadstairs, Kent, me and my family lived in a fisherman’s cottage a stone’s throw from the beach, locally, there was a promenade, an arcade and a small shop selling inflatables and postcards, very quaint, a beautiful little town, there is a large crab pool at the end of the beach, the tides would rise, deposit crabs into the pool and then recede, I would kneel down beside the pool with a bucket and spade, take them out place them in my bucket and take them home, the tide here represents pressure or ignorance and the crabs were carried into the pool, if crabs had the ability to swim against the tide or question the tides as they rose, should water mean ignorance in times past, the crabs wouldn’t have fallen victim to entrapment.

Arcadia And Idealism

Just around the corner from the cottage there was an arcade, I don’t know if it’s still there, but every chance I got I would go in with my brothers with pockets full of fifty and ten pence pieces and play games like the Simpsons or Virtua Soccer, I guess the reason I and people played video games is because it gives people control or manipulation of artificial environments, nobody likes controlling behaviour / people, in the real world, because, we desire lightness of spirit and control brings the opposite. The word Arcade sounds similar to the word Arcadia, ‘‘referring to a vision of pastoralism and harmony with nature’’, Arcadia takes its name from the mythological figure Arcas, a hunter who became King of Arcadia. It was also the home of the god Pan, often affiliated with sex, Pan (or pen) Pan also means ‘all’, ‘’especially in terms, formed at will, implying the union of all branches of a group’’.

Arcadia is the reality behind things in attribution and Arcade represents the construct we live within, therefore, the joining of the two brings the realization of truth, ‘’the term Arcadia was derived from the Greek province of the same name which dates to antiquity; the province’s mountainous topography and sparse population of pastoralists was a byword for an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness.

The Veil On Our Minds

‘‘14 But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed 15. And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts 16. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away 17. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom’’. – 2 Corinthians 3:15

Explanation

‘‘But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted’’ – how we read and process information is important, misappropriated instruction clouds our minds, regardless of your race, our minds literally eclipse if what we read is incorrectly processed or understood

‘‘And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts’’ – veils are made before they are worn’’, a veil is a piece of fine material worn by women to protect or conceal the face, if God is real for some, would he protect or conceal his plan or intention, which has been laid really since the dawn of human civilization.
