Hi, Nathan!
Several weeks after you had posted your wonderful essay, somebody all of a sudden gave me the book "Jesus and the Lost Goddess" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. It explores the idea of Jesus as a myth created by the Christian esoteric…
I welcome thoughts and feedback on the attached essay. Thanks.
Wow, thanks! May i recommend the vision of John Bennett in "Masters of Wisdom"?
Sorry I had to update the file ... here it is.
I'm working on this ... it's a rough draft ...

your essay on Suffering evil and advanced spiritual despair is
heart felt.
I can remember a time when i was sincerly searching for God applying my self with great commitment and integrity and yet i felt nothing nothing but emptyness, my heart cried out to god ...........now one of the things i am most thankfull for is being able to feel not a warm centrally heated protected glow,
but being anble to feel pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow loss and love.The gradual unfurling and unfolding of my heart has been a journey which i can look on with profound gratitude yet it had been at times painfull and traumatic.
The essay touches on subtly the question of how we "hear God"
how we percieve guidance, the still small voice ,.... for me a desire to know and be known, to love and be loved ,to intuit and be intune.
Thank you again for such a rich essays
Graham

- Thank You! I really wished you would not take my post as some kind of inappropriate joke - i really feel your suffering and i myself too often get in the same "why go on" state. And then something comes over - like during the last couple of days and i feel that there also exists so much love and kindness and we can live in it and share it with one another.

tessa lynne said… - Hi Nathan, I'm glad you found my comment helpful. As I read your essay I thought back to the pages and pages of journal entries I once wrote in a similar vein. When you had several excellent responses I did not add mine. I do think that entering into that darkness is often necessary and you emerge with greater insight than if you had avoided it. tessalynne
