[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 625208, member: 17461"] "The image of God Incarnate, become Man out of fascination with His own Creation." Anne Rice Blood Canticle "A bird cried jubilation. In that moment they lived long. All minor motions were stilled and only the great ones were perceived. Beneath them, the Earth turned, singing. Sheri S. Tepper The Revenants I love this. True. How could we, raised in a Christian nation, never have been exposed to these living truths in this way? All I remember is fear of sin and Hell. Heaven was preferable, but only barely, to Eternal hellfire. There is a place in the Bible where Christ is said to have judged the churches for their teachings. Again, how could this wisdom teaching have been there all along, while the speakers for the religion concentrated on guilt and punishment? How awful for all of us that this was so. I think I disagree with that. If there were no purpose to the ego, it would not exist. As it is with your imagery of holding both the cloud and the silver lining COM, so we need, I think anyway, to become aware of egoic interpretation, and also, at the same instant, to become aware of what is real...but we need to carry them both. I love this thread. Thank you. Cedar [/QUOTE]
