Welcome to the Sanctuary
of the Angels
Sanctuary of the
Angels is dedicated
towards giving us some tools with which to deal
with some hard issues in
the real world. I suspect it will never truly be
finished. Every time I
turn around I find another issue, another battle
and another source of
strength. The core of the Site, and of the
struggle itself perhaps is a
question. How can we be people of peace love and
generosity and still stand
fast for what is right and good? I take it that
our job as true humans
is simply to leaven the lump by our own
participation in Eternal life here
and now. Sometimes we do have to work for laws to
be changed and even for
laws to be put into practice to the extent that
they become part of the
way we think. Nevertheless I have never held, and
never will hold, with
the notion that spiritual battle is about taking a
great big spiritual
battle sword and clumping our enemies over the
head with it. In the struggle
for the heavenly places this is quite as dangerous
(and perhaps even more silly) as it is in so
called
real life. If the victory we claim is to be
Christ's victory then it will
be an anointing. It will transform the inward
places of both protagonists,
and it will involve choices. Sometimes it
also involves time. Decades of it.
Only the whole,
I've not found that
telling people that they are wicked is any more
efficacious than telling
them that they are weak. Besides which I suspect
that the actual structure
of our way of thinking, and of our social and
economic systems, leans towards
injustice and inequity and downright
rottenness.
How to live ? How
to live in joy and
peace and plenty in an abundant universe who has
based its system of values
on someone else's lack?
Okay - this is
turning into a sermon.
My apologies. Lets turn to the Sanctuary of the
Battle Angels then, and
see what is here and what is new.
