Comments on: A Limited View http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2008/02/02/a-limited-view/ "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." ~Aeschylus, Agamemnon Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:11:18 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: topebbles http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2008/02/02/a-limited-view/comment-page-1/#comment-1626 topebbles Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:45:51 +0000 http://www.spiritualthingsmatter.com/2008/02/02/a-limited-view/#comment-1626 This piece really hit home. I was born with a neurological impairment, and mild facial deformaties. Kids ridiculed be and labeled me a freak. They never tried to get to know me. Yet, their years of torment caused me to question my existance. It took a while, but now I embrace my differences. I realized my "attackers" must have lacked confidence in themselves, so they projected on to me. This story give inspiration and hope. Thanks for writing it This piece really hit home.

I think that 'The astounding rise of technology! is starting to impinge on the spiritual world as some scientists begin thinking about mind-matter problems, the nature of consciousness and the power of spirit or prayer for healing. The Christian belief doesn't seem to have anything analogous to the Indian Chakra system with meridian energy flows or the Chinese acupuncture points.I wonder if there is anything specifically Christian, other than prayer, which is believed to influence people and is therefore in principle amenable to measurement? If the 'subtle energy flows' associated with health and healing are identified with 'The Old One' would this be objectionable to Christian thought? Viola, you see how your essay has set the neurons firing! Very perceptive as always!
