Players

[poliphilo]

I think Spirit is like clear, untainted water poured out into earthen vessels.

Earthen vessels- that's Biblical innit?

I think this world is an experiment.

And not to be taken entirely seriously.

I like Shakespeare's insight- the one he keeps coming back to- "all the world's a stage/ and all the men and women merely players."

We are here to try on different roles. To find out what can be done with a certain set of genes and social circumstances.

Why?

Well, why not? Perhaps for no better reason than that it's an interesting thing to do.

Between lives we are subject to the judgement of our peers. They are not unkind. They will have made the same mistakes themselves.

Is this experiment devised by God? I think not. I hate hierarchy. I think the only God or Goddess that exists is Spirit- omnipresent, unstructured, playful- and that we're It.

Off to read.

*falls over in shock* (Doctor Who is one of those things so basic to my experience, the idea that someone has not encountered it is overwhelming. :)

Dr. Who?

How did I miss Dr. Who?

Funny...I know so many people who have NOT heard of Doctor Who that I am impressed when I meet someone who knows of him/them/er, ah...

But how splendid to have the Whovian universe to explore from scratch.

I was around for the first broadcast of the very first series- with William Hartnell.

All Whovians know a TARDIS means Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.
I"m surprised, with all your other surprising knowledge that YOU don't know this.
