“In its deepest meaning, the good news of the Gospel is that union with God is a free and universal gift and that the consciousness of it is presented to us in the Eternal Now—in short, that the love of God is generous beyond comprehension.”
— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit https://image.nostr.build/798aedcfc2c4ebd9770c6d6892f658454ab7265406d668b873294cf68b165a39.jpg
I thought it was an AI of older @jack Dorsey
Religion is similar to Communism: it sounds great in the planning meeting
but then real Priests and Nuns rape and abuse children and are protected by the church leadership. The reality never lives up to the con artist hype.
Verify, don't trust and double verify when folks say just have Faith!
I love this - not familiar with Behold the Spirit. Book or lecture or what?
One of Alan’s first written books on the necessity of mysticism in Christianity.
Gotta read it then. I stumbled into mystic Christianity after being raised Protestant and needing to make sense of the psychedelic experience. Alan helped me make sense of the experience but I had no idea he wrote a book on it.
