How estranged, in degrees, from the God within, we tend to be. The first act of estrangement results in our seeking that God outside ourselves, so that access to The Presence is obstructed by the barrier dividing inner from outer. The next act would result, as in this fellow's case, in living with such restricted access to It that only through some extraordinary trial does one expect dialog. Like a spurned lover who threatens to commit suicide unless the former lover responds. And here we are, online, sending out these cryptic signals to some indistinct someone, hoping to establish some immediate dialog, very much as did the zooreligionist, and often with similar consequences. But the extraordinary IS the ordinary. And there is no difference between you and me, God and wo/man! Extraordinary! ~*~ ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
