Christ in all humility To hold everything in your hands, but to lay it all down, To have all power, but to grasp after nothing; To wait gently and patiently in tranquil love, For the other to step closer, Ardently longing for the approach, but forcing nothing; Bearing all power and authority as lightly asContinue reading “Christ in all humility”

God: who are you; what are you? Part 4
God: who are you; what are you? Part 4 This is a theoretical possibility – though I am reluctant to judge that this is so – not least because this “3rd voice” so often seems to strike through the dross of usual concerns to reveal a distinctively different – and better – angle on theContinue reading “God: who are you; what are you? Part 4”
God: who are you; what are you? Part 3
God: who are you; what are you? Part 3 Perhaps our experience of God is simply a peculiarity of the way the human mind works – perhaps an accident of evolutionary development. What religious people find most striking is the way the voice of God does indeed seem to them to be external and differentContinue reading “God: who are you; what are you? Part 3”
God: who are you; what are you? Part 2
God: who are you; what are you? Part 2 I’m also extremely unwilling to give up my understanding of this voice as the voice of God. Whatever this voice is, it is the most precious thing in my life. Through it, I have gained greater insight, clarity, uplifting transcendence and compassionate wisdom than through anyContinue reading “God: who are you; what are you? Part 2”
God: who are you; what are you? Part 1
God: who are you; what are you? (Coming in 6 parts) Part 1 It has been a staple of my thoughts for some years now that the voice of God that I experience in my head is distinctly different from my own voice, and I know this to be true because I know what itContinue reading “God: who are you; what are you?

A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important. Part 4
A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important Part 4 I must say that I personally prefer the traditional view of God as an independently existing personal agent. I am very happy to take the leap of faith, and as I have done this throughout my life, I haveContinue reading “A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important.

A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important Part 3 Note: I am not saying that the new framework must be better than the old framework. I am not saying that the old framework is wrong; it could be right – in fact, I prefer it. All I’m sayingContinue reading “A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important. Part 3”
Christ untaintable
Christ untaintable One of the things I love most about Christ is that he is untaintable. There is, in the very best of our human nature, a desire for purity. We recognise that we are compromised by our living in the world. It is too difficult to keep our hands clean – even when weContinue reading “Christ untaintable”
A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important. Part 2
A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important Part 2 Note: my new framework does not require all religious people to adopt it. I would expect the majority of people who are currently religious to prefer going on with the traditional framework of understanding. This is fine. I don’tContinue reading “A biographical note on why my new framework of understanding God is so important. Part 2”
