I keep thinking my video is broken when you pop up on screen in these interviews in technicolor
Great insight. Love the artist interviews
I love Paul's realistic, humorous and earthy ways of seeing things: "I'll never be able to have b/c I'm a modern person form the urban west so I'll just have to deal with that", "Beauty is a shortcut to truth", "When Jesus showed up in my life", "lightly rooted…", "that is in some ways a relief…b/c you don't have to entirely make yourself at home here".
If this world, of which we are formed, is not meant (in the primordial, primeval sense) to be our “home,” Paul, then why does the Deity demand, simultaneously:
1. That we are meant to fully endure it and yet appropriately detach from it?
2. That we (as a species) are responsible, in a primordial manner for the suffering/conflict/horror/random violence of the entire world/cosmos.
3. That we adhere to a proliferation of theologically contradictory and incompatible doctrines, instructions, and ideas with self-loathing obedience.
Your revelation, in this video, mentioning the “Christ who came into [your] life” speaks wonders, quite apart from any separate issue of Orthodoxy.
You have met the Person.
Pardon my questioning, but the question unasked is forever unanswered and we were clearly formed (of this dust, of these stars) to question.
Quoi qu’il en soit, I cherish the Protecting Veil videos and instructional materials, revere Orthodoxy with every fiber of my being, and am interested in acquainting myself with your work.
