Re: Authentic Enlightenment & Lines of Development

Posted on Apr 30th, 2009 by kelamuni in Integral Post-metaphysical Spirituality

I don't buy the distinction between "Great Masters" and "half-baked spiritual teachers." It is this very idealization/demonization that creates the so-called "problem" here. We should do away with the capitals letters. More later.

united metropolitan improved hot muffin and crumpet baking and punctual delivery company.

The future . . . seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.

And as for me, thogh that I can but lyte, On bakes for to rede I me delyte, And to hem yeve I feyth and ful credence, And in myn herte have hem in reverence So hertely, that ther is game noon, That fro my bokes maketh me to goon, But hit be seldom, on the holyday; Save, certeynly, when that the month of May Is comen, and that I here the foules singe, And that the floures ginnen for to springe, Farwel my book and my devocion.

Well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked Appel. [Executed in electric chair in New York.]

One of the sages of the Talmud taught nearly 200 years ago that God could have created a plant that would grow loaves of bread. Instead He created wheat for us to mill and bake into bread. Why? So that we could be HIs partners in completing the work of creation.

I don't always kneel when I pray. My prayers fly heavenward all day long-while I bake or drive or comfort. I mean no disrespect Heavenly Father, I just need him constantly while the work of woman goes on.

Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion?

The magnitude of an action may change not only the strength of its impact, but the direction. If you became a dentist, for example, you would certainly be an asset to our society. But what if everyone became a dentist? Who would bake the bread? Who would build the houses?

Rarely do we find men who willingly to engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.

If you are in the process of selling your house, it pays to have the odor of baked bread wafting about as a prospective buyer arrives. The house sells every time.
