A Western Way

John’s gospel is the most Western. John had Greek and Roman influences and the others Middle Eastern. In John’s Gospel – Jesus is always in charge. He doesn’t show weaknesses. In the others, a more human side is shown.

It’s like this reminder – there is a Western way.

There is a lot of evidence that the Western way is passing. What is the way coming? A friend recently quoted a new book (“Frequency”) as saying the information age is passing and the intuition age is here. A Course of Love says it’s time for the way of the heart (which is also an intuitive knowing). I’ve seen time and again that the clarity is never in the details. When I go there, it’s because I think I can manage them, and that if I don’t, they’ll manage me.

Yet the more I get away from managing and being in charge, the more I find myself drifting into the new.

And the more I (and we) drift into the new, the more our human side is revealed.

Interesting, isn’t it?
