๐ Sermon ~ Fragments of the Divine; Light, Time, and the Weight of Being
๐WBJMinistries |
Oh Most High, Source of Light and Eternal Understanding,
We enter your presence asking for insight that transcends time, space, and the illusions of control.
Open our minds to see truth beyond logic. Open our hearts to feel unity beyond division.
Let this message not just be heard, but absorbed, spirit to spirit.
Let it renew us and challenge us. In Yahusha’s Name we pray~Halleluyah.
๐ Sermon Message~ In the TV series Here and Now, we meet a multiracial, multicultural family in Portland, Oregon, tangled in invisible threads, race, identity, mental illness, political correctness, and spiritual crises. But beyond the drama is something deeper; an invitation to see the world as interconnected energy, to understand that we are more than our roles, our races, or our resumes. Like the Mohegan Wampum Belts, used to mark historical agreements and relationships, the family in Here and Now is a living belt, woven with trauma, hope, misunderstanding, and sacred memory.
In one striking moment, Ramon, the adopted Colombian son, sees patterns of light and numbers that seem random. Yet these patterns are symbolic, cosmic codes. They mirror the mysteries of Ecclesiastes;
> “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has set eternity in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that Elohim does from the beginning to the end.”
— Qohรฉlet (Ecclesiastes) 3:11, Halaleyah Scriptures
The chaos is not chaos. It is coded.
Each character suffers and seeks understanding; a Muslim therapist, a Buddhist guide, a confused Christian patriarch. They all wrestle with the same question;
What does it mean to be here? What does it mean to be now?
๐ง Social Science Reflection ~ From an anthropological lens, the show mirrors modern American anxieties; race, religion, and mental health. These are not just issues, they are spiritual battlegrounds. The blending of adopted children from different backgrounds speaks to the Kula ring of cultural exchange, not for profit, but for relationship and meaning.
Sociologically, Here and Now invites us to see family not as a bloodline, but as a system of shared spiritual contracts. These are “chosen” kinships, something many marginalized communities form for survival.
๐️ Museum Symbolism
Imagine walking through The Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan, with Buddhist thangka paintings showing deities emerging from swirling mandalas. Like the visions Ramon experiences, these are not hallucinations. They are cosmic blueprints. In Here and Now, the line between sanity and prophecy is blurred. And perhaps it always was.
๐ Philosophical Quote
> “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
— Rumi
Ramon’s visions, Greg’s confusion, Audrey’s attempts to control, they are all wounds. But they are also openings. Light gets in through what breaks us.
๐ Scriptural Mirror
> “The spirit of man is the lamp of Yahuah, searching all the inner depths of his heart.”
— Mishlฤy (Proverbs) 20:27, Halaleyah Scriptures
What if our brokenness is not punishment?
What if it is a divine searchlight?
๐ Cosmic Closing
Here and Now is not just a show. It is a spiritual question;
Are you living in reaction, or in revelation?
When we stop numbing ourselves with distraction and defense, we become aware that we are not just surviving time, we are weaving with it.
Time is not a line. It is a lamp.

Abba Yahusha,
May we no longer fear the unknown. May we embrace every day as sacred, every moment as divine.
Help us to see that your patterns are not random.
Make our eyes like lamps.
Make our lives like Wampum belts, records of sacred covenant, strung with wisdom and light.
In Your holy name we reflect and rejoice~Halleluyah.
