<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"> 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. </font></font></div>
