Dancing With the Gods!


McClaren, Bell, Jones et. al., are the spiritual grandchildren of Von Harnack, Schleiermacher, and ultimately the true seed of the German Enlightenment. Once the Universe became causal the Christian consensus experienced its first bout with theological varicella-zoster (chicken pox). The new leader's of the 'emergent' church now show all the signs of herpes-zoster (shingles). Their philosophic epistemic has been sucked up by the whirl of Shiva's Cosmic Dance. They have merely used ash and pantaloons to disguise the disparity between historic Christian Doctrine and the Vedic underpinnings of the figure who bears their new sacred fire.

Bohr and Heisenberg were more stuffy about their own slouch towards the Ganges, as they had a vested interest in staying in 'white coats.' Bohm, on the other hand seemed to have been blown off course by his pilot wave into an Implicate Order which in essentially indistinguishable from Hinduism.

In 2004 dignitaries from India presented a two meter bronze of Shiva in the traditional pose of the eternal cosmic dance http://www.fritjofcapra.net/shiva.html

It's metaphorical significance is observed by all but the guy in the pew, listening to Bell and Jones chant the oneness in diversity of all religions. At least Heidegger did not smilingly prance around when he pointed out to his students that in philosophy the path has come full circle since the German Enlightenment. Listen to the poet, not because of the content of his verse; the fact that some one is speaking, that is point. It is there, if at all, that one can hope to find existential authentication of self.

The new cosmic dancers in the West of course show their scales in doctrine concerning topics like the non-existence of hell, but the source of their malady lies elsewhere. The heart is sick. It believes in the dance. It is a dance away from the sure revelation of God in the face of Jesus ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE. In the end, a Jesus unteathered from the Word of God in its' truest sense is no Jesus at all.
