Paul Christopher Martin commented on Mystic Tourist's blog post 'The Fact of Creation'
Thanks Michael for this rumination on creation. When you say that the only possible relationship one can hope to have with God or the Divine is 'direct' I take it you mean a 'spiritual' contact, a communion that is not mediated…

Paul Christopher Martin commented on Lauren Tuchman's blog post 'The Shekhinah or The Divine Presence or Divine Feminine in Judaism'
It seems that I have missed the opportunity to catch Spencer’s attention with a response, now that his account is inactive. Aside from that, I should like to correct an observation I made in my earlier post, if only for the record. I said:…

Needless to say, Spencer, apart from any other disagreement we may have, I am happy to stand corrected on any factual mistakes I've made about biology and genetics. It's not an area I can claim to be an expert in by any means. Paul

Paul Christopher Martin commented on Lauren Tuchman's blog post 'The Shekhinah or The Divine Presence or Divine Feminine in Judaism'
Thanks Spencer. My knowledge of human genetics is minimal, but as I understand it the sex differentiation of male and female occurs due to the specific presence of a comparatively small gene (SRY) on the Y chromosome. The X and Y sex-chromosomes…

Thanks Spencer for your further explanatory remarks. Although your formulation is neatly set out in accordance with time-worn ideas about the construed polarities of existence it suffers from the problem of granting one side of that polarity…

Paul Christopher Martin replied to Ron Krumpos's discussion 'the greatest achievement in life'
That's a deep question to explore Ron. In a nutshell, I think the greatest achievement in life would be to live completely in the presence of God. For 24 years I was enabled by grace to stand on the boundary of that realization and recognition,…

I think I see what you mean Spencer. Reality, which encompasses material and non-material (or spiritual) levels – if one can say such a thing – may be recognized in a relative or absolute way. If this is granted, then your notion of…

Spencer, If spirit and nature (matter) are aspects of a non-dual reality beyond all gender distinctions then how is it meaningful to speak of inflexible dichotomies such as heaven etc. as divine masculine and earth etc. as divine feminine? Paul

According to the UN, over 50 million girls in India are missing: having been aborted, killed, or neglected to death simply because they are female. In some regions, no baby girl has survived in years. Help us make a difference.See More

Paul Christopher Martin commented on Tim Brauhn's blog post 'Fasting for Ramadan As A Catholic'
I tend to agree, Tim. Participating in another faith tradition's practices or rituals for a time in order to gain an understanding of their point of view can enrich one's own faith. If one thinks of religions as being like languages then…

Paul Christopher Martin replied to Ron Krumpos's discussion 'Heaven and Hell'
That seems fair enough Ron. Although, one could think of a mode of being as a place of its own, a phenomenological space that is no less tangible than any physical space (the mind as embodied). Pragmatically, if recognizing the divine means…

Hi Paul, I'm glad you benefited from visiting The Theosophical Society's page.
I have never been deep into Kabbalah, but the little I know about it has been more than interesting to me. I hope On the Wings of Shekhinah will help in your research.

Juliana
