The Church of Yahweh

Submitted by Stephen Kelley on Wed, 11/19/2008 - 22:14

I just stumbled on the very cool site: The Church of Yahweh. I especially liked the distinction between translating Yahweh as "I Am Who I Am" and "I Will Be What I Will Be." This highlights the relation and distinction between Being and Becoming as well as their identity at the deepest level. The page "God is Not God's Name" and the final picture of YHWH really hit me.

Some words about prayer

Submitted by Stephen Kelley on Thu, 10/23/2008 - 19:20

These are from some of the reading for my RCIA class.

Whether we know it or not, we are already in the presence of God and united with God because God is everywhere. Prayer helps us bring to consciousness this precious bond we have with God and his saving love, as Thomas Merton points out: “In prayer we discover what we already have…We already have everything, but we don’t know it and we don’t experience  what we already possess…The whole thing boils down to giving ourselves in prayer a chance to realize that we have what we seek. We don’t have to rush after it. It is there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us.”

Outside the Self there is nothing. All is one and all is contained in "I am". In the waking and dream states it is the person. In deep sleep and turiya [samadhi] it is the Self. Beyond the alert intentness of turiya lies the great, silent peace of the Supreme. But in fact all is one in essence and related in appearance. In ignorance the seer becomes the seen, and in wisdom he is the seeing.
