A question to those who are like the Wind. . . . . . . .?
Do you find that this new direction, "from above" and leading "wither-soever you go".... may come out of nowhere, and take an unexpected course, even as the invisible Wind blows where it WILL,...anyway, do you find that this new direction, (as many as are Led by the Spirit of God) is also that "...New and LIVING WAY", which He, our Forerunner and Door to the Everlasting Way, has Himself OPENED for us...that is through the veil of His Flesh*
May we truly, by faith, understand that His Flesh is the flesh of the Word, which is holding all things together by its Power, and by Whom ALL THINGS consist...that Flesh.... (matter, including ALL the elements of nature, even those yet undiscovered) is what Jesus is beckoning us to grasp and partake of with "all wisdom, knowledge and understanding"..and affirmed in His own Words best:
"Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. The one partaking of My flesh and drinking of My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink. The one partaking of My flesh and drinking of My blood abides in Me, and I in him."
(John 6:53-56 LITV)
Doncha findit justamazing, how ETERNAL LIFE and ABIDING in Him, is the result of partaking of His Flesh and drinking of His Blood.... ?
How, one may ask?
It is AS...
we As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness through the full knowledge of the One calling us through glory and virtue, by which means He has given to us the very great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature, escaping from the corruption in the world by lust.
(2 Peter 1:3-4 LITV)
Reference for "like the Wind":
That having been generated out of the flesh is flesh, and that having been generated out of the Spirit is spirit. Do not wonder because I said to you, You must be generated from above. The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone having been generated from the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How are these things able to occur?
(John 3:6-9 LITV)
BE GENERATED FROM ABOVE!

I see a whole lot of unsupported assertions in there, and not much else.
Real questions, like you promised to stick to in the legal document that you agreed with in good faith when you joined this site, are asked in order to gain answers to that question and increase your knowledge. It's pretty clear you are just proselytizing, and that you told a lie when you made the agreement you had to make to use this site. You are being deceptive to your audience, as well, by disgusing your preaching as a question in order to suck them in and get them to read your rubbish advertising.
Now why would anyone want to take any advise from you on philosophical issues when your religion lets you be so deceptive when trying to sell it online?

John 3:6--9: "Born:" This follows the thought in the previous verse of becoming a son of God. Born implies a birth, and in John 1V13 explains how it takes place in ( John 3: 3-7).
"Blood": is literally "bloods." One's family lineage or national heritage does not bring about the New Birth.
"But of God:" The New Birth is not of human origin. Rather, it is spiritual and supernatural.
John 6:53--56:The Jews were forbidden to drink blood (Lev. 7:26, 27).
This was a "hard saying" (v. 60) because they missed his point (Lev.17:11).
Jesus came to bring and sustain spiritual life, yet they were still thinking of physical life (v.63).
2 Peter 1:3-4: "His divine power" is a title for God used by Jews who revered Him so much that they would not pronounce His name.
"Be Generated from above: " brings to mind, when Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate and Jesus is asked if he were a king.
John 19V10:"Then said Pilate unto him, , Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have POWER to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
V11:"Jesus answered, Thou wouldst have NO POWER at ALL against me, EXCEPT it were given thee FROM ABOVE; therefore he that delivered me unto thee hat the greater sin."
Pilate's assertion and Jesus' response are reminiscent of Jesus's third exchange with Satan (Matt. 4:8--10). God alone is Sovereign of the universe.
