Hey Allan,
(I think it was Allan --I haven't read the, um, entirety of this thread)
Both your "Entirety" and your "Mandala" suggest elements of the
classical Christian Logos --which I always took to mean God considered
mostly as a principle of Order rather than as a Divine Personage; yet a
principle of order, somehow, with a heart. Your Entirety also suggests
to me what the "Seth Speaks" folks refer to as ATI (All That Is). I
appreciate this deeply. In ordinary discussions of this kind, God winds
up being so special and puffed up that you can't get a handle on the
Big Guy without stepping on someone's trinitarian toes. (And of course,
the Entirety isn't a "Guy" big, little or otherwise.) Other than that,
I don't have much to say on this subject, as I'm still wrestling with
and evaluating Christian notions of the Divine and trying to see if they
can still work for me, or if something else is wanted as we glide
through the beginnings of the new millenium.
