Diary: White rain and spring:


   

~~Yesterday’s spring day interrupts our almost daily snow falls, laundry again and Herman’s message.~~

Yesterday we had Spring and now not so much, but temps are around zero, that helps. I’m waiting for the sun to shine and then it will be spring again!
The second laundry load is in and I’ve been out already to get my Globy. No word about a coffee from John so far.

Yesterday I visited with friends at the Palliser where Herman had a talk about ‘What’s meant to be’. For this Herman used the Genesis text in which God says: ’It was good’ about the creation and the New Testament gospels of John-9 and Luke-24 as illustrations of how good can come from ‘the bad’.

Suffering in the details of life contrast with intent and purpose - for the good- in the overall perspective.

I capsulated Hermans points and views in: “Suffering in the details of life contrast with intent and purpose - for the good- in the overall perspective.” Herman closed with quoting Ecclesiastes 3:11 ‘God has made things suitable for its time’ and saying that God is the Creator and Infinite Intelligence.

Next and last load due at 9:25am which will also call for the folding and hanging of the first dryer’s load items. Then it will be time for a coffee and a quick look at the headlines. I am in particular curious about the commentaries regarding yesterday’s mini summit between Trudeau, our Notley and BC’s Horgan. It is an interesting conflict of interests and political forces as BC’s government has no majority.

Last Saturday I did intense dusting including some items that had never before seen a dust cloth. I must say it made a noticeable difference. I also gave the floors an once over lightly with the vacuum cleaner. And I am removing clutter items from my desks and will put them in a clutter box so I can easily rotate them when I feel that’s called for! So, well organised … when I want to!



Writings: Basic conciliation notes:


   

~~Some basic notes relating to my upcoming talk on ‘World Belief Conciliation’.~~

Last evening I added to the notes for my June talk titled ‘World Belief Conciliation. The word conciliation means 1. Make calm and amenable; pacify. 2. Gain (esteem or good will). This relates to the Latin ‘council, combine and gain‘. All this according to the OED Encyclopedia edition.
Time for the next load: 9:22am and with coffee break now 10:05am.

I chose conciliate over re-conciliate as world religions were never before in the position they are now, namely being in close and unavoidable contact all at the same time. Our world today calls for ‘a gaining of esteem’ across the boundaries of our human belief identities. This will be a new accomplishment of humanity as a whole and a landmark as such once completed.

I see this conciliation as humanity’s main challenge at this time in our evolution.

In my talk and essay ‘World Belief Origin’ I look back in time to establish a common basis for all of humanity as reference, which is 60k years ago. The talk I am preparing now, titled ‘World Belief Conciliation’ looks forward defining a method and structure to help accommodate the diversity of our human traditions ’while maintaining their integrity’!
Laundry cycling time at 10:23am and back at 10:44am.

I see this conciliation as humanity’s main challenge at this time in our evolution. We need to get this right and I aim to make my contribution here in the hope that it will be helpful. My perspective is that the given traditions should be accepted as they are and be valued for their contributions to our human heritage.

To facilitate the this acceptance I suggest to extend any of the given narratives back into time to our common human start as basis. The other extension looks forward in time from the present aiming to find conciliation while maintaining the integrity of our human traditions.
