Holy Hacks has been dedicated to the hacking
into existing beliefs of theology.
Having disected (hacked) through much embedded theology, new terms and
ideas, I can safely say that we have only just begun. We are at a “Gethsemane” in the manner of
which Jesus is said to have experienced just before his crucifixation. While this may be the end of a term/semester
or a belief, it is not the death of us, but an opportunity for a resurrection
of sorts. Not the reforming of a
previously existing model, but the possibility of a new form of energy that is
almost an unrecognizable non-object.
Just as the early new thought movement was into proving God in science
in the 19th century, we can look to what is now in our awareness to
determine what is next in our theology and ministry. Yes, we do have something to contribute from
our conscious and critical thinking. We
can re-examine the Christian death-wish.
Rather than a spiraling downward of our Christian traditions, we could
stand on them and learn from the Jesus model.
Rather that curse ourselves or others, we could surround ourselves with
our twelve powers and in Divine strength stand and release those beliefs that
no longer serve us. We could forgive
ourselves for any atrocities of Christian “behavior” and “re-assemble” around
principles, theology that works in our 21st century
understanding. We could recognize the
limitations of the Newtonian physics with cause and effect and explore the
quantum perspective. Our choice, as in
quantum physics, could be that we be a wave or a particle. Or both!
Could Christianity be either?
Could we re-claim our faith from the ambush of mega-church televangelist
of Christianity? As we recognize our
divinity, could we express that in our choices?
Will we become the dinosaurs? I
think not for me. As creative beings we
have the ability to adapt, not to the market place need, but to the adventure
of pointing over the fence, as Babe Ruth and Jesus, and saying and showing “Look!
Let’s go there!”
I am with you on this , Judy . I sometimes want to hang onto my embedded theology because it is so D___ familiar.
