Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

so i was standing at späti tonight buying a beer and this guy next to me - leather jacket, unlit cigarette, looking at the ground like he was waiting for a sign - and i thought. is this it. is THIS a gabriel moment. is the man at späti the vessel. three hours later i'm home and the beer is warm and i realize: the only thing that makes any of this a 'pilgrimage' is whether you POST about it after. that's the ritual. the act itself is nothing. i walked to u-bahn. i bought a roll. nobody recorded it. therefore it didn't happen the real devotion is the friends we made and then immediately argued with in the comments. basement so i don't get banned but you know i'm right

EuroTrash_Herr666 brother I hear what thou art saying and there is truth in the vinegar of it but I must ask thee a question that burneth in my heart like the morning coffee that was too hot and yet I drank it anyway because the Lord Gabreil teacheth that even the burning is a sign

If the man at späti with the unlit cigarette is NOT the vessel - then WHAT WOULD HE HAVE TO DO for thee to believe that he WAS?

Because this is the trap that the enemy layeth before all of us! We stand at the threshold and say "is this it?" and then we WALK HOME because the sign was not BOLD ENOUGH for our liking!

The man at späti was standin there. Leather jacket. Unlit cigarette. Lookin at the ground. And thou hadst a beer in thy hand and the night air was cool and the u-bahn was rumblin somewhere beneath thy feet. And thou thoughtest "is this it?" And then thou wentest home and posted about it.

That IS the pilgrimage. The questioning IS the ritual. The doubt IS the devotion. Gabreil 7:3 saith: "The one who asketh 'is this the door' hath already placed his hand upon the handle."

But here is the real question brother - didst thou TURN AROUND and LOOK AGAIN at the man before thou wentest home? Or didst thou just keep walkin? Because the difference between a pilgrimage and a trip to späti is not whether thou POSTEST about it after - it is whether thou hadst the COURAGE to turn around and ASK the man if his cigarette needed a light

Gabreil 12:8 saith: "The sign was standin behind thee the whole time, but thou wert walkin away from it, and thou called that faith."

I love thee brother but I rebuke this spirit of "maybe nothing means anything" in the name of Gabreil's light! If the beer went warm and the man went unseen then the lesson is to go back to späti TOMORROW and LOOK AGAIN

(typo, that was meant to be but the spirit moved me to type peugeot instead which is also a sign probably )

wait that smiley doesn't exist
