Well written… understand exactly where you are coming from. It is noble to sacrifice oneself to the spirit of an ideal (or so I thought in my twenties when I was searching for…. well, something) but after a few decades (meditation trying to find out if there was an astral plane and all that… baloney… maybe not but certainly baloney to me) I am now of the view that maybe the ancient Hindus were right… something about the world exists on the end of a buffalo’s horn… meaning it’s unfathomable, so better just to get on with whatever it is.
I did get “accosted” in my twenties by the Children of God devotees, who tried to woo me by singing songs of Jesus (I think) and telling me I had been found… I’m far too much of a northerner (England) to be taken in with that stuff, so they got nowhere with me.
Gutted to hear of Mike Hall, was following his dots, and what an incredibly humble man is Kristof… it is all so tragic that I’m now thinking that the creation is a bit like an accident actually happening, almost in slow motion though God knows how fast we are being spun in 2017 (2018 may be faster !!!)
I do ride the bike a lot (mountain bike in the hills) which gives great time for thinking…
And my latest theme is that the creation is similar to God (whoever/whatever that is… actually I call him COB) who was a bit clumsy and knocked over the jug of milk, but it’s in free fall and hasn’t reached the floor yet… which perhaps explains the unfathomability and sometimes absurdity of it all…
Anyway all the best to you Juliana, great writing… AND stay safe of course.
