I think that the New Era is already upon us and is challenging all of us to find new ways to bring thought and action, prayer and practice, closer together. And, yes, there is magic and miracle in the focusing on the future even if we don't know its details. Like the hymn says, the good is renewing. Some ways are dying and some ways are being born. In the process there are many labor pains. We feel it individually but we create collectively. Finding the bridges and connections is our work.Lou Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225133924452033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16135118.post-77560985415389140972011-05-01T22:16:31.317-03:002011-05-01T22:16:31.317-03:00The apostle Tiago wrote that "faith without w...The apostle Tiago wrote that "faith without works is dead " I think this idea is similar what said Padrinho SebastiĆ£o, not enough to pray, we must act to help to build what is called for in prayer. I also believe that this act mobilizes mechanisms that we do not know and can do miracles, thus changing our destiny.<br />LisandroLisandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445138523186956067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16135118.post-40439154000136949632011-04-23T18:39:29.765-03:002011-04-23T18:39:29.765-03:00Interesting comment "anonymous" even it ...Interesting comment "anonymous" even it sounds like you might not have read the full post. The point is that the interventions of the Anthropocene have turned humans into co-creators and that is a responsibility full of wonder and terror.Lou Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225133924452033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16135118.post-37019986813591170242011-04-23T16:58:31.803-03:002011-04-23T16:58:31.803-03:00Although good intentions and positive thinking hav...Although good intentions and positive thinking have some credibility and demonstrable value, praying, or asking god for personal desires to be fulfilled, or for the natural state of things to be changed for the benefit of humans is egotistical, delusional hopefulness born of the dark infancy of humanity. God, in the unlikeliness that it even exists, would surely be the god einstein - a non intervening source that doesn't intervene, answer prayers, punish or reward people. <br /><br />On the other hand, if you believe your god is al knowing, powerful etc, then it has good reason to dry up and burn Texas to the ground, and people should stop interfering with there small minded desires. You cant have your god and eat him too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
