Quote from Thunderdog:
I suppose God is more of a "big picture" guy. The devil is in the details.
Yah, more big picture.
Our Father does not interact with this world because it is a private domain within our mind with "Keep Out" signs posted.
He does not teach us anything because he made us equals.
To teach implies inequality.
The only one worthy to teach a Son of God is a Son of God.
Teaching became necessary when the Son turned himself into a learner by denying his knowledge.
That denial led to the making of this world.
The Answers to it's unmaking are taught by a Son of God who teaches for God, for you.
He teaches mainly equality.
The conventional wisdom insists that God made this world for man. And man is thought to be his children.
This is ludicrous enough to render most of the platitudes nonsensical.
For example, it's not just that man compares himself to others.
The whole concept of comparison is what gives rise to this world.
Man IS a comparison device.
Whoever makes this world is the one making comparisons.
The world is built on inequalities.
That is not our Father's handiwork.
It's good to forgive. It's imperitive to forgive.
But unless forgiveness is understood, it is ineffectual for leading the Son of God out of this world.
The presentation assumes death is natural,
and gives the impression that life is about living in the present....
...until death comes.
God's Teachers do not give this kind of advice.
Life in a body is not really Life. It's existence.
Existence is something to be saved from, not perpetuated.
Jesus
