Hi Col,
In response to your blog of interest.
http://www.simplelifeinchrist.com/have-we-co-opted-our-faith/In his paradigm he is interesting but he is speaking from his perspective of the church of christ. It is a bridge that some will find interesting and will used to enter into that perspective, he will lead over his bridge into his perspective of the church. Will it be the same as what I knew or you knew, we will have to cross that bridge to see, I think I will give it a miss. Re transforming platforms, if I don't have anything more to say it doesn't matter, really can't add anymore to reality. Reality is, This is it.
Transforming Platforms, Bridges on the way.No gurus, messiahs, prophets just transforming bridges to be traversed on the way that is no way.
People and their views are just platforms for viewing reality from their perspective. Whether it is Brad, Col or Peter. If I add to this blog it will just be to take a look from the different writers' perspectives. If you never crossed any of these bridges it doesn't matter because reality is where you are; there is no path to it, you are right in the middle of it now with no journey, no map, no guide and no bridge. If I add`to this blog it will simply be to say it doesn't matter whether you cross this bridge or that bridge because reality is where you are, THIS IS IT. But some bridges will be interesting structures simple from the point of view of the respective authors. But it doesn't matter whether you cross or not but as we walk and share this experience together I'm happy to view life from different perspectives and dally with you there for a moment as a fellow traveler.
If I was to add another metaphor, it would be to say, awaken to the perfect infinite now and enjoy the harmony that is.
