thank you alexandra_k for this discussion.
I am not going to pretend that the I totally understand the use of this language (who are you studying? ). I have read and reread your writing. Some of this is a stretch for me to comfortably understand.
I do understand and appreciate the reasoning.I have always had a difficult time with the faith issue.
And had a very painful time on faith babble with issues around the bible and the idea that there is only one God...and certain religions own this God.I often questioned "the God" question.
There are belief systems that say God is evolving and this makes the most sense to me.
I can embue this evolving god into all that I see, taste, feel...etc.When I was at my most delving into what is god...
I came to the realization that we humans build our beliefs right up to the unknown...the edge of the void.
It appears to me there is the ever present center of unknown. That which cannot be defined or named or owned.Deep down what I really believe in is the interconnectedness of all life....our energy.
If we humans could just stop fighting each other over who has the real god....
Allowing and supporting that each of us has our own set of beliefs and respecting that we each are unique and diverse and taking delight in that diversity.okay my addition has deviated from the orginal discussion.
Please continue and I will read with rapt attention.
