Meditations & Reflections
“Skywalking”
To what is becoming and being?
Everyone has an intrestingly different description of the Christian struggle.
Why is it that preachers and parishioners seem to struggle without asking relevant
and important questions? Without really being objective i.e., desiring the ability to see
more than one side of the issue regarding theology. We will not ask the questions that hurt
or questions that the answers to which make us uncomfortable. Therefore, we seldom go
beyond the common traditions to reach the stage of becoming.
Is it possible to be a person of God without being ”religious”? People are unclear and afraid to seek divine solutions when they are in trouble. When things seem hopeless many believers lose their sense of what it means to be holy, that they live in the Kingdom of God. Believers often say, “Did you sin? Are you ready to confess?” We beat one another over the head with religious talk and give them no balm for their inner pain. Being a religious person sometimes
makes us unreligious.
I am
That I am not
Numinous is the unconscious
Shadow of my being
That
Calls the finite
Into infinity of meaning
Rest not upon success
Lay down not
With failure
But let them be
Your paradox
From which only death
May rescue
For what is
Is yet to be
Thy birth spiritualized
