Find and Ye Shall Seek: God is naughtier than sex
http://mysticalseeker.blogspot.com/2010/12/god-is-naughtier-than-sex.html
Find and Ye Shall Seek. A blog of mystical searches. God is naughtier than sex. As a followup to my recent post about how Americans feel a need to exaggerate their religiousness while Europeans are ashamed of their religiousness, I ran across this article. From the Danish national broadcast network's website. The original article is in Danish, although you can run it through Google Translate to get an English translation. Sigurd Barrett finds that Danes are reluctant, almost afraid of the Christian faith...

Find and Ye Shall Seek
http://mysticalseeker.blogspot.com/2011/02/excerpt-from-soon-to-be-published-book.html
Find and Ye Shall Seek. A blog of mystical searches. From a soon-to-be-published book suggests that humans may construct the concept of God out of an innate human tendency to ascribe intentionality or consciousness to whatever we interact with in the world, even when there is clearly no consciousness behind it. I'm not sure that this is necessarily a novel idea. It is hardly news that religions have often anthropomorphized nature or otherwise assigned divinity to it (remember the Egyptian sun god Ra?

Find and Ye Shall Seek: January 2011
http://mysticalseeker.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Find and Ye Shall Seek. A blog of mystical searches. I ran across an article. That an attempt to formulate a scientific model around the evolution of "religious genes". The article seems to take for granted the existence of these alleged genes- and perhaps such genes do exist, but I am not certain that anyone knows this for sure. In any case, what amused me about this article was this statement:. Posted by Mystical Seeker. Links to this post. Women Have Overtaken Christianity. Sixty percent of churchgoer...

Find and Ye Shall Seek: Conceptions of the Bible
http://mysticalseeker.blogspot.com/2011/01/conceptions-of-bible.html
Find and Ye Shall Seek. A blog of mystical searches. Conceptions of the Bible. Rev Candace Chellew-Hodge, a UCC pastor and author of the book Bulletproof Faith: A Spiritual Survival Guide for Gay and Lesbian Christians. Has written an article. For the Huffington Post. For one thing, she points out (correctly) that the Bible was written in a particular time and place in history and correspondingly reflects an often mistaken pre-scientific cosmological worldview:. Posted by Mystical Seeker. It seems to me ...

The Butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Yep, it’s ME. January 24, 2013. The rich gold, the stark images. The infinite and the finite meet. In our aloneness, we are never alone. Could we but cry out in such utter joy? Could we but fall to our knees? Could we touch the transcendent face of God? Yes, in moments like this it is more real than the grain of sand that worries our shoe. The prints of our journey regress into a distance. The untrod expanse before us. Jul 16, 2013. Appare...

Truth and Tradition: November 2008
http://truthandtradition.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. Filling Our Lamps With Oil. Here are some things that Eknath Easwaran recommends to nurture and cultivate the God-seed within, and help us to reveal our Original Goodness. I added (in italics) some examples and goals for my own life. Sit for a few minutes each morning, and at stop-lights. 2 Repetition of the Holy Name. Example: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Vacations, coffee-free days, bicycle riding, working outside, driving slower and walking.

Truth and Tradition: Out of the Temple
http://truthandtradition.blogspot.com/2008/12/2nd-great-vow-he-drove-them-out-of.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Out of the Temple. What do you make of this story? The account of this story in John's gospel is troubling. I cringe every time I read it. There are two problems with the story as it gets manipulated by the author of John and morphed from the earlier stories (Read it in Mark:11). January 2, 2009 at 8:40 AM. Thanks Mike. I always enjoy your comments. The value of this story and Carl Bloch's painting is, for me, mostly metaphorical. The 2nd Great Vow says:. May God bless you.
