Intention(s) of the term Holy Spirit

  1. ‘Freudian’ jumbo. presumption.
  1. from where ever a garden grows.

A taste of your personal dogma? If so … not to worry … you stand firmly with the crowd. :slight_smile:

Why not? Conflicting dogma(s) cohabit comfortably in my mind. :slight_smile:

McCain may have more faith in Freud today. :slight_smile:

Presumption? … sounds like Theresa May. :slight_smile:

Except the garden(s) growing in our mind. :slight_smile:

My intentions?

What would be an appropriate summary?

To get past what I want or what you want and to find out what is needed for us both, ad infinitum. Guess that isn’t always clear. Yeah, that’s pretty close to it, the best approximation so far of what I intend.

Thanks for asking.

Well Hello Again +Tom,

personal over institutional, a preference. Fatima, the catholic tradition, that’s a big institution (crowd). Feels like the closest member of any “crowd” I could be accused of being a part of is a few counties away. We don’t (really impractical) do congregation.

While I still find your language somewhat cryptic, I feel adventurous at the moment … willing to go out on a limb and speculate.

Sounds like the essence of marketing … to turn a personal want into a personal need. The underlying principles vis a vis human psychology are likely the same.

Are you saying at the moment you prefer to move away from being self(ish) and move towards being self(less)? If yes … it’s nigh impossible … the forces in play are simply too powerful.

Describes my intentions adequately … though I still eat regularly at the local KFC. :slight_smile: It’s much easier for me in China than it was in Canada. The language barrier keeps me separated from the ‘crowd’ and there is no church.

still feeling adventurous. :slight_smile:

Complete individuation requires moving beyond the ‘crowd’ … any crowd … religious or secular.

Agreed … though the demographics(intensity of belief) varies considerably … heavily weighted towards subscription without belief.

Ancestral yearnings?

Everyone does “congregation”. The god of money is a conjoined twin of every other god. The separation of church and state was an attempt to surgically separate the two … cutting a baby in half does not leave you with two healthy smaller babies.

To crawl and lick the footprints of the rich is no more noble a pursuit than to be a hypocrite and kneel in a pew in some church on Sunday.

+Tom, Seems you’ve performed the illusive saw a lady in half illusion. Well done.
