%GOD'S SEXUAL SPIRIT-2 800911
Life's pleasures give themselves to us when we are
responsive to God's sexual spirit, not when we seek to
capture them as truths in formal ways---seeking to
represent them as unchanging truths. Mutual pleasures are
not mutually exclusive, but seek each other's company.
Bitterness is occasioned by fools who seek exclusivity and
unchanging truths which are exclusive in their demands for
exclusive commitment and loyalty. No perspective is
complete in itself, nor deserving of exclusive commitment.
When we seek the one perspective worthy of total and
exclusive commitment---we find bitterness instead of
pleasure in what we seek.
In love God does not seek to label any reality or
perspective as good or evil---for such labels are
alienative and not in the way of God's sexual spirit.
People who seek that which is ultimately good---end up
being alienated from all that they perceive as evil---
because they perceive it as imperfect, not ultimately
good. Since nothing is created as ultimately good they
end life as alienated from all that is not ultimately
good.
People who seek that which is worthy of exclusive
commitment do not accept God's love which is inclusive.
Such people do not find God, do not recognize God's
presence in sexual relationships, and do not know God.
They know not that which they seek---because of their
exclusive presuppositions. Their truths tend to be bitter
truths---because of their exclusive presuppositions.
Their truths tend to be bitter truths---because of the
alienative qualities which flow from exclusivity. People
who seek exclusive truths keep only elitist friends who
become fewer and fewer as they seek the perfect
fulfillment of their exclusive presuppositions. In their
end---they are alone, rather than in Love.
God's sexual spirit is pervasive in the constant
renewal of life forms, and the coming to pass of new forms
of life. The coming together of diverse beings occasions
complementarities which renew. It has been so from the
beginnings of the work of God's sexual spirit in the
simplest forms of life, and may be so in the most complex
forms of life. Those who seek to transcend God's sexual
spirit are not likely to experience renewal through their
search or lonely journeys of exclusivity.
