<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>George, <EM>et al:</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Your statement from, "The
Divine Dance," that everything is holy reminded me of the definitions of
<EM>pantheism </EM>and <EM>panENtheism. </EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
<STRONG>Pantheism</STRONG> is the belief that God and Nature on one and the
same. <STRONG>PanENtheism</STRONG> is the belief that God is the soul of all
things. In both definitions, the caveat is that we need to have the eyes to see
it. I'd affirm that anyone spending time in E.I or O.E. would have their eyes
open.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I like the position that John
Wesley takes on living the awakened life is that humans are hope-less-lee
spiritually blind; they can not awaken themselves. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>Fortunately, the work of the church is to be the catalyst for
awakening people.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> <BR> When I
was teaching high school in the Behavior Disordered division, I was suddenly,I
could anticipate the solution, I said, "Mary, please
stop!" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> She replied, "Why? What's
wrong?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I responded, "I've just seen God
in Algebra." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Fortunately, Mary already was
familiar with my weird remarks. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Jann's remark concerning,
"</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We're in for an
interesting ride on this wave of the last gasp of the dying age." This is so
true, because the Einsteinian revolution changed our worldview from
the Newtonian to the Einsteinian worldview. Our high school youth, and
their parents, all were born after 1985. This is the year that
sociologists have determined is the "water shed" year. Those of
us born before this auspicious year are wired differently. </DIV>

“all is good” has rattled around in my head (a long time) it has forced me to
re-image and rethink my whole life whenever adversity or what I call “turn

slavery was, or experienced some of the plight of the 3rd world. I”ve
recently found Rohr’s work helpful in getting on with life and trying to do
“the Dance,” by not retreating into the comfort of a “spirituality” but
acting. Here is a piece I’ve found as an introduction to the
