"Meekness" is Justice and Righteous personified as wee see this characteristic massively in the life of Jesus. Being "Meek" is an inner characteristic of those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus and who are working for the kingdom of God in all places and in all things. Well, putting it simply - The earth is not to become for us a stage for grasping our own desire but an inheritance which we have received from God in which the service of God on behalf of others is paramount.īeing "Meek" is not being weak.

Jesus says the "The Meek shall inherit the earth"-What does he mean by that statement. In it's place meek people have the heart to serve others even those who have wronged us. Not with a false humility but with all their inner emotions under God's control.Īnother way of looking at this is "Meekness" is curbing that inner revenge, That inner compulsion to seek and avenge a wrong doing done to us, "Meekness" says No to that inner revenge. This is where the definition fits the 2112 song "Temples of Syrinx" "Meek" people see themselves as the servants of God. Not asserting yourself for your own needs but asserting yourself for the needs and benefit of others. the nearest definition of "Meekness" is "Power under God's Control" under new management if you like. What does it mean to be meek? Not to be confused with weakness true meekness is anything but weak. We are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxĪll the gifts of life are held within our walls

The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes But the dream of restoring the world to one in which people thrive and grow isn't extinguished. He’s not the one to lead a revolution, and indeed he commits suicide. He falls into a trance like sleep, dreams of the society that used to be, only to awaken to stark hopelessness. The protagonist feels hopeless after he’s rebuffed in his effort to get the priests’ approval to make music a part of their world. In his world, autonomous people whose creativity propel a society forward have been gone for a generation, replaced by a cadre of priests who maintain order and stability with the help of computers. “2112,” the 20-minute, side-long, 7-suite piece, follows an anonymous member of Megadon, who awakens to what’s missing in his world after discovering a guitar and teaching himself to make music.
