The Place of the Hidden Treasure
"The Place Of The Hidden Treasure"
There was once a time when a decision was being made as to where to hide the secret answers to life!
Suggestions were being given and considered earnestly for these treasures could heal, restore and end strife!
A few ideas were put forth, in an attempt to find the right spot, that would produce a great challenge to Man!
I will try to describe this chain of pondering events, and I will do the very best that I can!
One Angel said "Hey, I know the best place to hide these secret answers to all of life!
Let's put them atop the highest mountain on earth and give Man a true challenge for which to strive!"
"HE" said "Listen, do not underestimate Man in any way, for he will devise a way to get to this place!
Then once he reaches the highest of heights, believe he will then reach into outer space!"
Another Angel said "I know the best place to hide these secrets in order for Man to prove his worth!
Let's bury them at the bottom of the deepest ocean...the deepest ocean on planet earth!"
"HE" said "Do not underestimate Man in any way for he will find this place!....Do believe!
Not only will he succeed in reaching the pinnacle of heights, but to the deepest depths he too will achieve!"
"I've got it...I've got it!" said a third Angel..."I know of a great place that's out of sight!"
"This will frustrate him no matter where he goes...to the deepest depths or the highest of heights!"
"Let's hide them deep within the center of the earth...Right at it's very core!
It's deep, it's dark and it's very "HOT" and we'll not have this problem anymore!"
"HE" said "Listen, do not underestimate Man in any way for these secrets his own soul he would sell!"
If the deepest depths or the highest heights will not stop him, he'll think nothing of going straight into HELL!"
But I know the perfect place to put them. It is somewhere he'll never ever think to look!
I will keep them with ME in the one place where I dwell... The place he has always mistook!"
"See, I will hide the secrets within him, in the one place that will never come to mind!"
Man is always seeking for the answers outside of himself and to this place mankind is quite blind!"
"But I do know one day he will find them in the one place that I will guide him from where to start....
and he will finally realize where the answers were all the time....
they were with ME kept within his own heart!"
