spiritual awakening and enlightenment in today’s world

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. —Bertrand Russell

Enlightenment and Turtles

April 28th, 2005 Posted in Spirituality

Brian McLaren, one of the leading voices in the emerging church, wrote this excellent piece, “Kneeling with Turtles,” in Dream Seeker magazine. This is good stuff. In it McLaren actually discusses enlightenment, although very briefly. In What’s all the Pomotion and What is Church, I had written that I hadn’t seen the emerging church touch upon awakening / enlightenment / theosis yet.

This is a start—the potential is there. (On the other hand, it was published four years ago!)
