We square up our vision of life and how we relate to it based on lots of
ideas from others on what is ok and what is not ok. And talking to oneself
is one of those not so ok things to do. Well, I feel that the hardest thing
to do is to really be aware of our own lack of true skepticism about our own
blindness.
It is easy to view religion for example as all negative. Well, life is not
that simple. All things in life are choices. Some people here seem to
cherish athiesm with the same fervor of religious fanatics.
Someone said for example that athiesm has not produced bad things for
people. Sigh... this is a time of post communism. How quickly one forgets
that oppression in the name of any "ideal" still hurts as much.
So back to that conversation. I like a course in miracles. The reason I
like it is that it squares up with my idea of what Jesus Christ was all
about... And yes, I was raised as a Christian just not the born again type.
So, I have always kind of liked the picture of this man who just seemed to
understand what people are really all about.
And in the quiet times when all about is still, a voice calls to me. It is
my own personal experience. Sharing it here is difficult. Perhaps when you
are all my age, you will have your own voice. I have had life without it. I
do not want to go back.
