Repentance or #Metanoia?
#healing #prayer

Matt 4:12–23
.
I’m hearing #Jesus say something like this:
“Listen! Change your #mind & your #heart about the way you are headed… turn & face a new way! #God is here with you & loves you deeply… God’s Kingdom is near. The way you face friends… the way you are headed will lead to disaster.

I don’t get #judgment or #shame in the word “metanoia” that I get from “repent”.

I find some healing in that. Do you?

Umberto Eco called Casablanca a "very mediocre film" that was a "phenomenon worthy of awe." #metanoia

One reason this book is so important to me is that for over a decade, I've been planning a novel set in an alternate history where Jung's work led to the discovery of magic. I've been developing a magic system and religion based on Jungian concepts. I was unaware of this book's existence when I hatched the idea because it was only published in 2009. This book will be the religion's central scripture.

#Metanoia

JP lays down Biblical wisdom for modern times. Pray for us sinners. I appreciate the shout-out to the freaks, queers, and artists among us. I appreciate the pathos, for #metanoia is not to be taken lightly. I am looking at the man in the mirror. I am staring down the enemy, who divides me from myself and others. I am listening for the poetry in the gaps. I am holding out for higher possibilities, yet also lower ones, as another #cometojesus metanarrative bites the dust.
