"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

The Box-Has Something To Say about Living Outside The Box


"Whatever you do, don't think outside the box, because doing so is threatening to the well being of the box, and the well being of the box is far more important than the well being of the thinker." (The Box)

How true that is.... The box is always more important than you, in every way. Those who have never questioned the box have no idea how hostile the community becomes for those who will not conform to the whim of a local church or it's leadership. 
How could we really take seriously ANY stories of this Hostility from anyone in "our church"? After all, if that was true it would expose every fiber of our being for what it really is. So deny, deny, deny.... It's L'ordre dejour. The box has no other choice, in order to save and preserve itself. When the box is at stake, holiness is no longer the major theme of the group...
