ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary of Ordinary Life for February 26, 2023
* * *
Dear Ones -
I ambitiously called what I offered in Ordinary Life this week -
Stained Glass Windows, The Self, and The Problem of God
The road to enlightenment comes from a willingness to go into the dark. It grows out of a willingness to give up what we prize as certainty. The split between “science and religion” can be illustrated by clear glass replacing stained glass. The clear glass window approach to religion and spirituality makes belief the essential ingredient of the religious life. The teachings of Jesus are not things to be believed or doubted. They are traps that, paradoxically, can set one free. We are who we are in God. No more. No less. This talk ends with Carl Jung’s definition of God
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
