Here’s a short essay that keeps returning to me. It’s been trying to teach me things for along time, and it has appeared in variously edited versions since it first appeared in my book After Prophecy. I’ve used it as the basis for at least two talks over the years, maybe more. I should probably re-write it again. Or perhaps it would be best to let it happen anew in whatever form it would take now. It’s kind of amazing how resistant I’ve been to the very things I knew I needed. We are peculiar beings. As I looked through it today I realized I have so much more to say now, and “know” so much more. Or at least my perspective has shifted dramatically. Even so I thought it was worth sharing again here.
I hope you enjoy it.
