The Fig Leaf

Posted by: edb In: The Word is. .| Words matter

I was having a chat with someone the other night on gmail pop-up and she mentioned something being about a figment of our imagination. As in, do we exist at all or are we just a figment of our own imaginations?
Then I wrote that perhaps that what the fig-leaf means in the Garden of Eden [...]

Channellings

Posted by: edb In: Mrs. Overall's Things

These writings are “channellings” – mind thoughts that come into the conscious mind with a profound resonance, yet they have a subconscious origin; they ultimately find expression via the written or verbal word.

Love

about the brolly thing

The White Parasol is our (see "about little me and mrs. overall) umbrella where reflections on the confluence of religious,spiritual and modern, everyday life - with all its conflicting issues - can be looked at without and with prejudices. A practical emphasis to provide another way of looking at the bigger picture, in the midst of the ordinary material life, but without theological restriction (which doesn't mean that it is to be disregarded either). The parasol is to protect us from the heat that the issues generate theologically and politically. To propose and discuss,listen to and open up to, other perspectives without fear of getting burnt, in the hope of moving onwards. A belief is not necessarily a reality or a truth, but a programming. The overriding approach: "Faith is about searching for the truth without fear, so it doesn't matter if we lose all of our beliefs.." (from a compilation of ancient wisdoms spanning all religions in Anthony De Mello's "Song of the Bird). But can we question,without fear,issues which shape families, towns, nations and what wars are made of? Well if all the political diplomacy we have had since time immemorial can deliver only a war-torn earth, even in contemporary and "more enlightened" times two thousand years after Christ came to bring peace, perhaps we should dare to.
