World vs. Kingdom
Wow, even though the article comes from a more eastern philosophical position, I as a Christian certainly saw myself in it. I saw in it a total abandon to the system of this world, and to realize that God is, I am that I am. And that is all there is and because He is, so are we. It's a lot to think about but it is motivating in the thought that there is a necessary evil, so to speak, in the religious system of law, in order for folks to come to the end of all that religious system can offer and to be totally abandoned and dead to it so that we can jump off the edge of the cliff to follow the flow and river of the Spirit. The Spirit alone.
