What great concepts: non-dual thinking, religion evolves, wisdom, choose life. Potential Lenten contemplation. Thank you.
This is awesome. What I can't get at my home town parish. Thank you Richard. šā„ļø
thank you for taking us further I to Christ's presence and love. š
a beautiful message. Thank you
Iām neither Catholic nor Protestant. I know Christ is Jesusās title. This is cosmological truth. Colossians 1:15-18; John 1:1-5 (Itās the most wonderful news ever). Why canāt people see this? Because they read through a lens of parochialism. Stop that. Christ isnāt inside the Bible. PERIOD. Look at the stars
I almost didnāt listen to Richardās audiobook because I was about hopeless that there was a God that I did faintly recollect or recognise very strongly as awesome as a child. Assuming the worst and coming to conclusions way too quickly used to be my standard operating procedure. (Still is a tendency). I was baptised at 16 largely from a fearful threat and so as to avoid hell. Seems weāve got the whole show from A to Zed backwards. āSeek you first the kingdom of God and the rest will be icing on the cake.ā -Jesus (Matthew 6:33). But I strongly suspect that the majority of us just skimmed over that and thought it meant (if we thought to think about what it really meant) we should settle this heaven OR hell issue by baptism, church attendance, denominational belongingness to a schism (split, cleft, torn apart, division), obligatory and highly conditioned based and taught tithing (Protestants love āIf you give this, youāll get that,ā), bible studying with little to no inner transformative insights, an incessant checking of oneās undulating moral pulse, a tacit agreement to cease bad behaviours via ārepentanceā without having a clue about āmetanoiaā which is to FIRST drop the cultural conditioning and thus practice changing oneās mental misperceptions, an activity based busyness wherein external pulling of splinters seems preferable over any inner Holy Spirit observation whatsoever (indeed, the Holy Spirit is almost invariably ignored if ever mentioned), a beating of the horse to death about āabusing graceā and not using grace as a ālicense to sin,ā (as though anyone has ever or will ever need a license or passport or whatnot to āsinā or rather Miss the Point. And this heady, intellectually airy abstractions and conceptualised dogma as specifically taught and even encouraged by both the Presbyterian and Calvinism schisms regarding their proud denominational proclamation of being a church solely focused on the mind.
