W9 D2 Creative Spirit
In celebrating life why cannot we depart from the stereotypes and boring litanies of worship? Our worship is like salt that has lost its savor. Why cannot we be like Peter, who out of sheer inspiration saw in his master the spark of divinity. Did he not thereby bind himself to its shimmer and be the inheritor of His mission on Earth? The woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years showed a creative spark because her faith crossed into untrodden areas of worship. (Lu 9:46)
What is our reasonable worship, which is pleasing to God?
Simple: worship that makes your standing with God in a new way. It realigns and gets closer to the mind of God. Worship must be true to my essential self, and must reach out. And distinct too. Like The juggler in the story of Anatole France, who knew how to worship. It was as unorthodox and as contrary to the formulae that the Holy See had prescribed. His worship however had that stamp of his essential self.
God or Oneness of Things is a creative spirit that makes iron feel the presence of moisture in the atmosphere or a candle go out in the absence of oxygen. If matter has such consciousness is it to be wondered at if Balaam's ass see the angel of destruction stand on its way? Or the Bible has got it wrong?
Tailpiece: We, like the prophet are misled by all those material riches and fail to note the danger on the way. We walk the line of our earthly masters (peer pressure) in order to receive prestige among men. At what cost?
