------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
The Pentcost Sunday Reflections by Fr. Jude reminded me of the following passage taken from Nietzsche's 'Ecce Homo' and quoted at the beginning of the book "Atheist Manifesto" by Michael Onfray. The concept of "God" invented as a counterconcept of life,—everything harmful, poisonous, slanderous, the whole hostility unto death against life synthesized in this concept in a gruesome unity! The concept of the "beyond," the "true world" invented in order to devaluate the only world there is,—in order to retain no goal, no reason, no task for our earthly reality! The concept of the "soul," the "spirit," finally even "immortal soul," invented in order to despise the body, to make it sick—"holy"—to oppose with a ghastly levity everything that deserves to be taken seriously in life, the questions of nourishment, abode, spiritual diet, treatment of the sick, cleanliness, and weather! In place of health, the "salvation of the soul"—that is, a folie circulaire [manic-depressive insanity] between penitential convulsions and hysteria about redemption! The concept of "sin" invented along with the torture instrument that belongs with it, the concept of "free will," in order to confuse the instincts, to make mistrust of the instincts second nature! http://www.geocities.com/thenietzschechannel/eh16.htm Kevin Saldanha Mississauga, ON. ==== Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 02:44:52 +0100 (BST) From: Jude Botelho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Pentecost Sunday To: Jude Yahoo!Groups <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Carnal versus Spiritual Do you feed your spiritual self and keep it strengthened to win over the carnal person?
