Hoy en dia, la humanidad se posiciona en dos principales actitudes
individuales: los que creen en "algo trascendente" y los que
rehusan o ven con indiferencia a esta "muleta de la condicion
humana" cuyas eventuales pruebas, manifestaciones o testimonios
consideran como simple proyeccion de la mente, alucinaciones o
fenomenos por explicarse un dia. Personalmente no hago gran
diferencia entre un ateo y un creyente cuando en ambos existen
bondad, respeto a la vida, equidad, gusto en servir, hermandad y
curiosidad por la verdad. Es un estado vibratorio muy parejo. Lo
que hay de muy aprovechable en este libro de Noe esperon, ademas de
estas conversaciones con difuntos, es la sorprendente propuesta que
se hizo a si mismo y nos hace una tercera opcion: la de CONOCER.
Nos propone entrar personalmente en lo desconocido para "verlo,"
experimentarlo, observarlo e interactuar con el... sin drogas, sin
necesidad de una experiencia cercana a la muerte, en plena
conciencia... solamente mediante un esfuerzo razonable, un
entrenamiento al alcance de muchos, una tecnica que ofrece
ensenarnos.
Luke the Physician was fascinated by people - rich and poor, Jews
and Gentiles, men and women, rulers and slaves. In his Gospel he
delights to portray Jesus as the Saviour not of an elite group but
of any one, in any condition, who turns to him. Jesus is indeed the
Saviour of the world. Luke knew exactly what he was doing when he
wrote his Gospel. He tells us his goal in the opening verses: to
set forth an orderly and accurate account of what had been
accomplished by the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. In this
engaging exposition, Michael Wilcock gives special attention to
these opening words. Then, as he examines the individual deeds and
sayings of Jesus, he shows how the structure of Luke's narrative
brings out their meaning. The good news of Luke is still true
today. None of us are beyond redemption unless we choose to put
ourselves there. This message has implications not only for our
personal lives but for our churches and society as a whole.
This reading of Hosea explores the book from a feminist,
psychoanalytical and poetic perspective. What is God doing with a
prostitute? How does the theme of prostitution relate to the
abjection of the woman as the other, and the fantasy of sexual
ecstasy, precisely because she escapes patriarchal order? Where is
the prophet situated in the dialectic of rage and desire that both
seduces and condemns Israel? His voice is both masculine and
feminine, and poetically embodies the sensuality of wayward Israel.
The ambiguity of voice is also that of the prophet's role, which is
both to nurture Israel, as on its Exodus from Egypt, and to be the
trap that destroys it. The problematic of voice and prophetic
function is evident in the vivid dissection of Israel's social
institutions, whose disintegration is inversely related to the
centrality of the discussion in the structure of the book, and in
the violent swings from despair to impossible hope. The focus on
immediate and uncontrollable entropy, manifest in extended tangled
metaphors, that occupies the centre of the book, is framed in the
outer chapters by intertextual references to Israel's primordial
vision, and the romantic distantiation of the Song of Songs, in
which the erotic and poetic contradictions of the book find their
perhaps ironic resolution.
