Hi all
Here are my thoughts on the importance of beauty:
David Morey
In the beginning was a god (very different from the old God) of absolute
freedom. She could imagine anything. But as soon as she stopped imagining so
it ceased to be. Only herself seemed to have any duration. This god became
fascinated by the wonder of herself and desired to catch a glimpse of
herself, so she turned back to see herself, but in the dark nothing was to
be seen. And so she gave being to light and fell immediately in love with
her beautiful self. Her love for herself gave rise to her desire for there
to be light eternally. And so with this act our god gave up her freedom for
love. The Past came into being, and absolute infinite freedom came crashing
down.
The Past existed because our God had seen herself as she once was. Our God
was now haunted by her own beautiful image, frozen into the reality of the
Past, forever beyond her power of change. But our god was not satisfied with
her image. She knew it was her image but it was not fitting. She was a god
of freedom. She had to find a way to demonstrate her freedom against the
recurring presence of the Past, ever rushing away and rushing back. The Past
could no longer be changed; but it could be infinitely embellished. Hence
the Future came and kept coming. And the glory of God incarnate was known.
