Re: Question
Sat, March 10, 2007 - 12:27 PMI recently read that old chestnut, M. Scott Peck's _The Road Less Traveled_, at the urging of a friend (though not a Friend). Peck is a psychotherapist so it's not a book about religion or spirituality per se, but Peck puts forth some provocative ideas, including
-- that Original Sin is *laziness* (our tendency to want to take the easy way out, not challenge ourselves and thus not live up to our full potential), and
--that God is (or, speaks to us thru) our unconscious mind. Peck holds that the unconscious is a force for good, and gives us messages through dreams and such that have the capacity to steer us toward mental health if we learn to heed and interpret the messages. (I apologize for my inadequate paraphrasing...I don't have the book in front of me at the moment). -

Sat, March 10, 2007 - 2:53 PMA chestnut it may be, but I owe a lot of my functionality to this book.
> I apologize for my inadequate paraphrasing
I don't think you've paraphrased badly, so I encourage you not to sweat it.
I *am* interested in the fact that I've never thought of your second point (about the significance of our unconscious mind) as anything like a major message of the book and yet that it's one of the two major messages another reader would name. I'm not so much curious as to why you've named it as I am as to why it never made it onto my radar-screen at all. I wonder if I've been missing something? Maybe it's time for me to go back to it, as I like to do every few years...

Tue, July 17, 2007 - 4:01 PMOn the subject of theology,,,
Several months ago I read 'Jesus, The Christ' by Anne Rice. Any easy summer read.
If one is familiar with Rice's previous works one can understand that the 'fictional' biography of Jesus would be entertaining and easy to read. As with most of her fiction work she bases a lot of 'background' by historical facts and research.
