[Oe List ...] From The New Yorker: Does Knowing God Just Take Practice?

[w.schlesinger at pvida.net]

I think it’s a different question.  The question the book is asking: how does one join one’s self to a tribal totem?  Integrating intuition into rational thought is an ongoing process for all of us.  A ‘King-dom’ defines the dominion of the King.  It has boundaries that include and exclude, depending on the nature of the kingly function.  Asserting one’s self as included means allying one’s self with that kingly function which yields identity and purpose. 

 

FWIW

Jim,

 

I listened to this before. This whole essay on the book is based on a fallacy of the question. It is why RS-1 is so powerful. It is why we always spelled the word as G-O-D, to designate that which cannot be contained by any word, or words. To listen to this is to find yourself in a mess (a very technical word). It goes nowhere. 

 

Had it been written this week it could say, "Maybe Trump really did win the election, perhaps we have just created a universe in our minds that says he lost".

 

Get some rest and keep doing the great work you do so well!! There are profound questions we do need to dialogue upon. 

 

Peace,

 

Jack
