Summary of Ordinary Life for April 16, 2023
* * *
Dear Ones -
I called what I offered in Ordinary Life this week
“God Gets A Makeover.”
The human psyche has received at least three “ontological shocks” over the course of recent history. They have been labeled: the Copernican Revolution, the Darwinian Discovery, and the Freudian Insight. Carl Jung contributed the understanding of The Shadow to our understanding of the human mind. The Shadow is what allows us to do evil without either seeing it as evil or calling it evil. The Shadows that rule, run, and ruin us are: white, male, folk religion; belief in a flawed creation; and, the belief in redemptive violence. The understanding we have inherited about God is only ten thousand years old. Understanding our evolving universe properly leads to the reality of unconditional love. If we are unconditionally loved, we must love others unconditionally.
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
