Hello all,
My returning has been immensely valuable for just having read 'Waking from
the Meme Dream'. Wonderful!
I'm presently reading 'The Mind & The Brain' by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D.
and 'Infinite Life' by Robert Thurman.
I enjoyed the little movie 'What is Real', Peter Russell.
But,
Language has power, and the word God has gender. To me God is an
incomplete concept. Semantics matters!
I would like to hear your opinions.

P.S. Has anyone read 'Passionate Enlightenment' by Miranda Shaw?
Hi Marsha,
I have not read any of the above.
The term God has specific meaning in philosophy, it is that which nothing
exceeds. How theologians get from that to organised religious terminology is
something i do not understand.
In the world of organised religion, God is really rather absent don't you
feel?!!!!
In fact, organised religion has virtually nothing to do with God at all, and
appears to be a collection of social patterns established to maintain a
patriarchal political system.
I was watching a TV programme about the development of the Houses of
Parliament the other night, and so much of the ritual still in use is borrowed from
the church. Even today our government is buried in the patriarchal past...
Nice to see ya back,
Mark
