Holding back is head function
left brain, executive operation
sometimes it is on overdrive, runs amok

hubris and truth can use the same words
Are we God? We are divine. John says when we meet face to face we shall see that we are the same. We should not arrogate that position to ourselves. That does not answer the question, for hubris and truth can use the same words. Some of the problem may be our mechanistic habits of thinking, where we see everything constructed of smaller parts: thus we shrink from saying God arises or emerges from humans. But other pictures are possible, some go the opposite direction: the parts derive from the whole. This sounds like Judeo-Christian genesis. So we might see humanity as the whole, the one, God, from which we are holographic shards, fractal. This generates then, as God does humanity, the picture that we together are God. Generated simultaneously together, God and creation? Cannot have one without the other? Other pictures are possible.

gist, wrinkle, rip
Many times we hear that God does not sleep, and then today I read in John of the Cross that God sleeps in our souls, awakening at times and in degrees. We tend to “blame” the sleeping on us rather than God. Yet mentally I question this. If we are part of God and God of us, of the same gist, the one, and if indeed God is enfolded and unfolding, implicating and explicating, then as we sleep and wake so does God. As we unfold, wrinkle, rip, so God.

Christianity as usually practiced
free enterprise as usually practiced
burdens enslaves
But at whom shake our fist?
no one can shackle your imagination
without your permission
and active collusion
