Three connected explorations of my evolving relationship to Christianity. I consider these essays to be my best, most honest writing yet!
History is a Love Story A line of thinking continuing from my first youtube video about the meaning of love as divine revelation. Our suffering in history as the crucible for the incubation of higher and deeper love. Christ as the centre of this process.
Lust and Evolution Reckoning with animal instincts in civilization. The whole game has changed; our relationship to our nature must be creative and paradoxical—otherwise it’s all cost-benefit analysis to better please ourselves. The goal of spiritual life is to be in harmony with all creation; which in a fallen world includes a ton of sin. Christ on the cross, as usual, provides the blueprint for this task.
Blessed Are the Peacemakers I talk about Israel and Palestine, and why we keep getting stuck in these loops of vengeance. It’s again a matter of our natural instincts being twisted under conditions of unnatural scale. The only way out of these death traps, both in the life of the individual and nation-states, is to follow Christ and earnestly seek the miracle of forgiveness. This is the only possible basis for real peace.
