- How does the vision of the prophet Joel relate to our world today?
His sayings of a Cosmic Christ are not unlike many Gnostic teachings. Yet to think of Earth dying..we see it now with lots of the troubles in the world, global warming, the destruction of areas due to manufacturing. We have not cared for God's creation. Yet if we can still be forgiven, This is also a good vision. - How can you unite the sacred and the secular in your life and in the world around you?
Just about anything you do. Taking a walk, for example, can bring you communication with Nature...hearing the sounds around you of birds, wind, streams flowing, rustling of plants as a small animal goes by. And know that no building or man made object can compare with this. Helping a fellow human in need can also be a calling of creation speaking to you to do your part. Everyone can be a little like Jesus in their own manner.
- What do you find attractive about the mystical way? If you chose to pursue the mystical path, what would be your greatest challenge?
I always found this attractive. The normal Church is nice, but I've always felt there was to be more to it than that. The greatest challenge would be to be able to 'let go' enough of the world around us, the 'popular Culture' that binds us to our earthly surroundings. Very hard to do in this land of commerciality.
