This Wednesday, we will reflect on the two churches in every temple. One church is the vehicle of the textual scripture tradition, and the other church is the spiritual creator communion vessel. The text church is for the faithless, and the spiritual church is for the faithful. The text church is in the dark about things spiritual, while the spiritual church has the living God...
The church of the traditional text interpretation is the church's public face. Its doors are open to the faithless in hopes they will make the conversion to the spiritual church. The faithless are in the dark about spiritual things. They do not know the rich treasury of the spirit. They know nothing about the spiritual life. They may be good people, but they do not know God. Theirs is a life of sickness, crime, war, destruction, disasters, and death. They work hard to get by in their inherited orthodox Jewish family lives. They are blind to the light of life. They live in the shade of a tale God is telling.
The spiritual church has a living God. They are all-seeing. They know a story is being told in the darkness of finite vision. Theirs is a life of health, immunity, creation, and plenty. They live in the light. They have community pool membership for their contributions to the necessary labors. They live with their holy ancestral God creator in plain sight. They know of the heads and tails lifestyle. Heads lit bright with all-seeing vision have all the breaks. Tails or those with little picture views get the cross to bear.
The holy God creator has creative plans for the faithless. They are like caterpillars that need to become butterflies. They might follow the breadcrumb trail to a degree of faith and summon the will to step into the light and convert to the spiritual church. They may discover they live inside of God and get his help converting. Or they may live a life believing in the promise of a holy God and look forward to their future after the death of their mortal body in Heaven...
