Liz. It was rewarding for me to share my journey with others, and it has led me to conclude, as you have from your own travels, that the spiritual is more nurturing than the political. I am actually thinking through how I might turn the Make Orwell Fiction Again from just another political blog to something more philosophical. All ideas welcome. And thank you for reading. Johanna
Thank you to all who shared this journey with me...I look forward to writing more about the spiritual, less about politics, because, well, it's comforting.
Really enjoyed this; your account was intriguing. Thanks for writing!
In an earlier article, you mentioned some thoughts or questions (?) about Jesus and divinity – the trinity? I like Origen of Alexandria’s take on the trinity and reincarnation of the soul.
As a cradle Episcopalian (DAR down the line), I began to question the Christian narrative after I read the Diary of Anne Frank around 12 years old. (I could not wrap my young heard around the Holocaust, but I read (and haven’t stopped reading) everything I could find to explain the unexplainable.
If God loves us unconditionally, how could he let young Anne and so many die and not go to heaven? Naa, no way that could be because I’m certain that God’s Love is unconditional so that does not add up. I have come to conclude that I’m not going to worry about that stuff and focus on how to Love God so I can Love Others. The philosophy of Jesus is bar none.
Spiritual stuff is much more interesting than the circus we call politics!
You are beaming! 🥰
Such a beautiful homily
Amen!
Amen
