Mr. de Mello said that once we are awake there is no room for apologies...
I have been thinking about that, and have a very hard time understanding it... I will continue to write about my progress on this idea.... see if I can make sense of it .
He bases his idea on freedom. Complete freedom of saying what you want and doing what you want, and not expecting anything, or demanding anything, this will then bring one to true happiness. Complete freedom = happiness..
Today I had dinner with lots of new and interesting people. Everyone with a different background and different point of view in life, different experiences, different lives... but we all came to the exact same point. God is different from everyone because everyone is different. One can only and truly come to start "understanding" what God is, once one starts to questions. Faith is about looking and searching for answers and one does not lose faith when one questions what we believe.
The were five different men, they were all blind.
They were all blind, and brought to touch an elephant.
One touched the elephants ear, the other one touched the elephant's trunk, another touched the elephants tail, the other man touched the elephant's belly, and the last blind man touched the elephants feet....
They were all touching the SAME elephant... but their experience was a little different...
They all tried to describe the elphant, and fought about who was right....
the truth is, they were all right. The blind men were touching the same elephant.
God is the elephant.
