Introduction and spiritual healing
I became interested in interfaith issues because of my study of intuition,
searching.
From my studies I have related an innate intuition to the act of synthesis:
this act, when content in a thesis sees in the antithesis its supporting
context, is no less the act of self recognition. My statement is well formulated in biology, and it is a restatement of Hegel's absolute Notion taken from philosophy. Nevertheless, to heal is to self recognize, sounds easy enough but there is required much discipline.
The synthesis is also something I am calling Trinity. And I became
interested in Trinity a few years ago, that is interested in it beyond my Christian faith. You see, I found Trinity connecting everywhere. I found it in the Greek Logos, in the Tao of Taoism, I found it in the Hindu Trinity, each time being expressed a little different, but it was the same Trinity. I found it again in the Buddhist concept of mindfulness.
Then I looked at science, and found it there too. It was in quantum
mechanics, it was in special and general relativity. I found it in biology.
This is getting a little off top, so I will stop. But it is clear, what I am
calling Trinity also relates to the mind-body connection, and healing. It
could help bring a better harmony to our many faiths.
But try this experiment, say to yourself: "the act of synthesis, when content
in a thesis sees in the antithesis its supporting context, is no less the act
of self recognition. " Say this to yourself in quiet meditation. Breath out
with content on your mind, breath in with context on your mind. Is this
statement something you can feel? Does it create anxiety of a feeling of freedom?
