There is hope, real hope in the Gospels… hope not only in relation to our longing to return – to return to the Source of our creation – but hope equally significant at this time, in regards to our yearning to become – to fulfilling our role, to becoming fully and truly human… as intended…
…Hope fully present to the seeing heart, the heart seeking wisdom, essential wisdom for the here and now, the unfolding now…
…Hope that gives access to Spirit – the Spirit being called for at this time of potential…
A time for moving towards wholeness, away from that which divides…
A time for conscious, intentional becoming, becoming fully and truly human…
A time for fulfilling our role, our intended instrumental role, in the intended unfolding of all of life on earth…
A time for love in our processes.
Much seeable truth and understanding – truth and understanding relative to our yearning to become – lies within the Gospels… seeable through reflection and reflective dialogue from a perspective of potential, a perspective that embraces the complementary notion and work of becoming – complementary to the notion of salvation, the work of returning.
The particular Gospels reflected upon in these writings are increasingly thought of as the “going forward” Gospels, the teachings of Christ that reflect intended ways for us – as we go forward on this earth, after his departure – teachings that in many ways are centered in the two Commandments, “Love God,” and “Love one another as I have loved you” (Cf. Mt 22:37; Jn 13:34), with particular emphasis on the latter, the oft called new Commandment… a perhaps not surprising emphasis given the cornerstone of the perspective of the living philosophy of potential: If love is not present in the process, love will not be present in the outcome.
Reflecting on the first Commandment – to love God – an image emerges, an image of a way to love God is to honor the intended way of working of life in the world… an image and perspective that is strengthened and clarified through the seeing that at essence, the original sin – the first sin of humankind – was the interfering with the intended way of the working of life in the world.
