We’ll share a conversation together this week about “The Abuse of Power, The Limits of Common Sense”
Theoretical physicists are imagining all kinds of wild mathematical formulations to explain the most fundamental nature of reality. When they do, they turn around and test their equations with super-colliders, and it turns out… they’re right! How wild is that? Why is it that common sense doesn’t always explain the world as it really is? The teachings of Jesus, the saints, and sages do the same. They give us descriptions of reality as it is, that make no common sense. When Jesus tells us to love our enemies, and walk away from the “getting-a-win” way of relating to them, it makes us vulnerable, unsafe, and it goes against every survival instinct we have — so we tend to ignore Jesus. Why do Jesus and so many others recommend a love that is so against our common sense? Is it the ancient wisdom that is skewed, or perhaps our common sense and perception?
What role can community play in this? What can quiet space, or meditation do to help?
Let’s share a spiritual conversation on this subject, and hear your stories of your walk with God this week. What is stirring in your heart?
