Orthodoxy Transforming Spirituality

Orthodoxy Transforming #7. If everything is temporary, why do we imagine the world is permanent? What makes us so convinced that everything is forever? We are tricked into believing that the world is permanent because everything decays at different rates. In other words, the sun decays slower than a bad piece of fruit, so, we are forced to admit the bad fruit is temporary, but we make the big jump to thinking that the sun is permanent because we cannot watch the decay. However, we know the sun is temporary and is decaying…we simply cannot see it happen. Therefore, we conclude since we cannot see it decay, it MUST be permanent. We have literally tricked ourselves into the false security that we live in a permanent environment. Spirituality demands we accept the truth and learn to live with and in the truth no matter how frightening it might seem at first. Everything is in flux. There is no security. Let go of the world that is in your head and open your eyes to the world that really is. This is not only reasonable, but it is profoundly spiritual. Most people will never cross this bridge. Let’s cross it together in this podcast.
