"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).

Religious Inoculation Agaist Jesus

"Thus George MacDonald, that old Scottish prophet, asks,
“How have we learned Christ? It ought to be a startling thought, that we may have learned him wrong”

It is a startling thought. “That must be far worse than not to have learned him at all: his place is occupied by a false Christ, hard to exorcise!”
Hard to exorcise, indeed, because
religion gives the impression of having Christ, while it inoculates you from experiencing the real thing."
