Hi. Martin from the UK. I am a member of a reform synagogue in England on a journey of discovery to wherever it will take me.
Hi there. Martin from the UK. A member of a reform synagogue in the UK with certain leanings towards an orthodox approach. Gaining as much “knowledge” as I can stuff in to be able to try and lift our congregation out of a self induced coma to a more fulfilling life, overcoming our differences and connecting with each other, making the world a better place even if it is a minor change.
The confusion of the biblical account of Adam and Eve, not to forget talking snakes, is still very much on the table in most biblical studies even though it makes no sense in the perception of reality in this world. Then we have an “Adam” that appears on the scene 5784 years ago who wrote a book. Is it true that this was someone who appeared in the physical sense, that in our perception, set the time line for the evolution of all the other biblical “Heroes”? Presumably we don’t know much about him?
That we (including me of course) are all part of one system. That our advancement to a level of true bestowal with its attendant pleasure and fulfilment, are dependant as one unified structure on our desire for perfection. It maps out the path leading to the 125 steps we need to climb.
There comes these instances of understanding. You talk about shattering that’s what happens to these instances after about one second. In pieces, scattered through what brain power I have left. I take this as good news and move on with ever increasing desire to know. More sleepless nights ahead putting things in order!
