Partners
The Judeo-Christian religions were not completely wrong and they can still be partners to Radical.
They stopped at the unknown and called it the soul.
These religions did not pop out of nothing. The Jewish religion was heavily ifluenced by the Zoroastrian religion
founded by Zarathustra, a Persian priest turned profet.</p>
Zarathustra wanted to set polytheistic (decentralized) religions straight with a single Boss God at the top (centralized) named Ahura Mazda.
The Hebrews later added a written script, started Christianity, and globally kicked off (surprise!) what we know as the Fiat system.
Holy Moments
My wife and some friends of hers formed a book club. Their latest book is Holy Moments by Matthew Kelly. The subtitle, A Handbook for the Rest of Your Life, was the first hint. I took a look at it and was dissapointed.
Mr kelly, the author, had what he called his awakening when he was 15 years old. I was ready for the worst.
However, as I browsed the pages, it reminded me of the Radical Systemn.
Radical Eyes
He starts with,
In is words, You may find yourself thinking or saying,
- >
- Something is missigng…
- There must be more to life…
- I have more to offer…
As I read this I found myself shaking my head in agreement. Mr Kelly called these lines sacred truths. The thing is that these quesions are key to Radical,too.
You are not malfunctioning, he says, your intuition has never been so sharp.
What is object to is assigning it to the supernatural.
Something Is Missing
What is missing is the ability to say no and falling back on the supernatural.
The Soul
If you are an impressionable 15 years old, or in the Iron Age, you can get away with it, but in the 21th Century there is no need for mysticism.
Progress
Later on in the book Mr Kelly asks What is progress? and, he asnwers, Preserving the well-being of human beings.!
Collaboration
He mentions collaboration to say collaborate with God.
He keeps repeating revelations from the Christian god. Again, mysticism might have been unavoidable in the past, but it is inexcusable today.
The Apology
In any case, in general, it sound like Christians are looking for the same things as the Radical systeman and we could be partners.
Well, not all Christians.
Authauthotiarians like Mr Kelly want you to take his words for what to pay attention to and what to ignore because only they know what is important and true, according to his awakening.
Radical and Christians
Radical and christians want a more equitable world.
They want our world to be people-centric, not money-centric.
And they also want
- To take care of each other
- To make choices
- To discover more of the world.
