The rapid passage of time has brought us within a week of meeting again! Our “first Monday” is next Monday and we hope you can make it. Our topic this month should create some interesting discussion; it is:
Good/Evil, Heaven/Hell, God/Devil!
What are these polar constructs? Are they emanations of our dualistic way of thinking about the world and ourselves? Is there any reality at all in these constructs? Where did the whole concept of Hell come from? Why would a “loving God” condemn people to an everlasting punishment by “hell-fire”? Is there a way to move beyond these rather primitive ideas and view the world and human consciousness in the world more holistically?
Also, I’d like to note that this will be our 13th topic since beginning the Spiritual Exploration Group in April 2009 (a formative meeting) and beginning discussions of specific topics that May. We are soliciting new topics which you may wish to cover in the next months. Please either post them here as a comment or come to our May meeting prepared to offer up some thoughts. We’ll begin our discussion Monday by sharing some ideas for future topics. (Previous topics can be reviewed through the postings on this blog.)
