How blessed we are indeed that God has not bound mankind to mere physical sense perception!

Thanks for the comment,

perception is only impulses received through
the chemical and electric process of the body
a preference for choice to owns own liking -
a deaf man who could not hear a group of people
opening or closing there mouths would not know if they were
singing ,shouting or just mouthing words –
the mother of a ugly bug thinks her baby is the most beautiful in all the world !
rotting garbage we say stinks it is because we do not understand
it is the sweetest of smells -
you pay your money and you see your show !

I’m never too far away… The “nature of faith,” now there’s another topic with plenty of meat on the bone. That’s part of what has drawn my attention to the speech by Peter Marshall. There’s so many jumping off points all packed into a four minute fragment. However; like our discussion on Kant’s views of morals and logic, I hope to circle back to a more in-depth discussion on the experience of faith in time to come.

My attention is primarily drawn to this excerpt for how blatantly it exemplifies that interpretation begins where perception ends.

Thanks for the comment,

It’s always good to hear what you have to share. I’m nodding in agreement with you and I acknowledge the breadth of your insight. “If God is One, Truth is One.” (1) Only a fool would dip a bucket into the sea, then claim to possess the ocean.

God’s Peace.

Hello,
I came upon this blog post of yours today and wanted to comment but couldn’t see how. Perhaps you are only taking comments on your forum now.

This article interested me because of the idea that it is the moment when we are gliding (not rowing) from whence inspiration gesticulates. And I loved this line in particular:

“I quickly realized that what I most despise about the state of my wandering mind is that it’s completely opposite of what I have determined to be superior.”

I feel that pride in my efforts and assume I need to try and try and try again, when really it is in the NOT trying, the surrender, that the magic takes place.

Thanks for the thoughtful piece.
Rebecca

Thanks Rebecca,

My posts are configured to accept comments for 14 days. Normally I find that is plenty of time for comments and if there is a discussion to be had I would much rather have it opened in the forums, which are in real time…

You nailed it with one word “surrender!” Thanks for the comment.

Pax Vobiscum
