We were born into an illusionary maze...a hellish duality. A Rescuer came to show us the escape plan back home, but we looked for Him in all the places He told us He would not be..."Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." Our spirituality has been externalized into books, doctrines, and ritual at the expense of our own authentic contact with the Living God, who is not in the outer court of man and religion.It's about the inner work...the kingdom within...the world's kingdoms are dividing...Socrates: Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs. Dan Millman: Socrates: Let me guess, and you want me to believe yours. Socrates: No, I want you to stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside.- from the film,"Peaceful Warrior"Socrates: People are not theirs thoughts, they think they are, and it brings them all kinds of sadness.On the subject of corruption in the New Testament, I reference some facts from the following sources:Bart D.
