![]() I'm sorry if i seemed quite "tough" in my statement, but it's caused by my english limits and a seriuos discussion is too much for my basic english...
Not to worry. I can tell you that this is not true (i'm christian and i know what i belive): we are definitely not separate from God! "If two of more are praying me togheter i'll be within them" Christ said (well this should be the english translation, if i'm right), so i've to trust that God is here, with us, and sometimes we can feel Him... Different kind of thing. I'm discussing becoming literally one with one's deity; you're discussing having the deity move through you. Judeo-Christian monotheism admits that one's deity moves through one, but you never become one with your deity. In the Judeo-Christian heaven, you "approach the throne of god," but you never actually become one with that which sits upon the throne. Think about a poor african boy that can't change and improve himself because of where he was born: he can only go on with his ignorance and static traditions, so will he be destinated to fail his life? But who says he must go on in ignorance? What of the incredible richness of his natural culture? The complexities of his human or social culture? The spiritual culture of the shamans? The ability to transcend oneself is inherent in our natures; and I think our early teachers have to stop us from always being interested in learning, in growing--for otherwise, we would not so easily fit within the little world our leaders would like us to occupy. |
