Nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting waiting for the miracle to come...
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ New blog, as CF conveniently "lost" the old one by first moving it to a hidden subforum
then subsequently shutting down said subforum without moving it back to blogs.
If you don't know Moriah by now? It still bes waiting for the miracle to come. It has been waiting for 25 years.

I always love to read what you write, ST. It shows the value of natural wisdom submitted to the wisdom from above, and the beautiful result of such a merger.
I totally agree with you that gnosticism, when meaning spiritual knowledge gained through the receiving of personal revelation, can and does result often in deception, when not submitted to the written Word - the revelation to the prophets and apostles (foundation of the gospel).
If, however, that is not true and people's final destination will be determined by what they believe, then orthodoxy becomes vitally important and gnosticism, while still important, can become a gateway to disaster if not carefully guarded.
Please show us one crusade, one pogrom, one Inquisition, one witchhunt, one murder by oubliette, rack, sword, stake or catherine wheel -- in fact, one atrocity, period, of ANY sort -- which has ever been perpetrated on another...
So one comes to play the whetstone this morning. Let us see how sharp this sword can become in the Lord's own hands!!

You are using the terms orthodoxy and gnosticism for what I would generally refer to as objective Christianity and subjective Christianity respectively. In your post you presented them as opposed forces. I would submit that they are in fact allied, and both entirely necessary.
Seem to be finally approaching the place it always dreaded approaching. The place of cold steel calculus. The place of no emotion or at least nothing attached to any sense of "self". The place of complete emptiness where a conscience used to reside continually worrying and nattering away over nothing. Bloody nothing.
They'd been wrong, those humans. Premature. Last year, the year before, when they made those lying accusations, daimonizomai had not yet arrived there. ...
Can't seem to stop blogging today -- nearly everything seems/feels "important" to get down somehow.

One of the difficulties Moriah keeps running into in this business being this hidden secret meaning of "allow" which everyone ELSE seems to grasp but which continually eludes it.
