In the foreword of this spiritual collection wishing well to the Intentional Sharing Editor, there are two key points to keep in mind as you read it. One is the stimulation to meditate on religious feeling, a meditation that can be supported by my faith. Approximately ten years ago I re-entered a church although in America because my individual psychotherapy has brought me to the awareness of my religious feeling. The second point is in the meditation on a text that has marked my beginning in reflecting on Christian mysticism, that is the ‘Jesus and the Disinherited’ of Howard Thurman. The inspiration for that book comes from an encounter of Thurman with Hinduism that brought him to write on the meaning of the religion of Jesus as a subjective religion rather than objective of proselytism-mechanical missionary impulse. This is to say that according to Thurman in Christianity Jesus of Nazareth is not the object but the subject; and according to this writer, the virtue of virginity, even though it is not the monopoly of monasticism, is not the vane object of Christianity but the incarnation subject that does not tear apart the veil of the mystery: Bina Caritas, Gemina Caritas, Perfecta Caritas is that experience where there is not duality between the Second Coming and the Second Virginity in distinction and from the discernment of the vows to poverty and to individuality’ denial that give a sense of order to the Mysterium Unum.. This being said, I reiterate that one of the most inspiring reflections on religious feeling comes from Albert Einstein. After listening to his words we will pick up again on Christianity where Jesus is the religious subject and the devout laity may be the conduit of such effort.. Yes, definitely also because of the Goodness, the Truth and the Beauty of which Einstein speaks and because of the spirituality of the sacramental intentional silence made authentic by the Rev. Dr. Paul Smith and the Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Kaeton we have decided to title this collection The Intentional Sharing Spiritual Collection; it also stand as the transformation of the American middle-class’ tradition based upon individuality and auto-sufficiency and the over-extension of profit maximization which leads only to solitude and call for the conversion of such solitude in the aloneness of the international missionary mystic affirmation: seek ye first the solitary individual), keeping in mind the latest meditation and comments on Luke’ passage about Zaccheus on Dr. Elizabeth ‘Telling Secrets’; doing so in the perspective of my re-viewing my manuscript ‘The Blue Grotto Dimension: The Apostle of Apostles’ in the context of Dr. Elizabeth ‘Raising the Dead in ‘Telling Secrets’.<br /><br />As previously stated elsewhere, our methodology of Holy Reading (Canterbury Press 2007) in contemplating the Scriptures may center on Howard Thurman’ writing in the context of Walter Vitale’ interpretation. Thus we propose to contemplate the Scriptures centering on the Resurrection, that is centering on the figure of Mary Magdalene, more specifically centering on the personal experience of Jesus’ resurrection. Every character of the Scriptures may be found anew through the experience of the resurrection by the Apostle of Apostles. In the name of the One who keeps us centered and focused and truthful, Jesus the Christ.<br /><br />Buffalo Shepherdwalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888384403637148260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-40350267860167349572010-11-07T22:26:44.336-05:002010-11-07T22:26:44.336-05:00The thing about being hit so many times, JCF, is t...The thing about being hit so many times, JCF, is that you lose your fear but sharpen your instincts.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-40466507586132367162010-11-07T21:21:30.444-05:002010-11-07T21:21:30.444-05:00Oh dear.

And then proceeded to hack away. She said, "No, you won't."<br /><br />So your meditation and the WBUR broadcast from Marsh Chapel are church for me today, and hopefully I can break bread somewhere during the week.Mary-Cauliflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023407956584118667noreply@blogger.com
