As for the excerpt for Rilke, I like the the idea that we are evolving toward something divine that is yet to be born. This reminds me of Tielhard de Chardin's belief that mankind evolves spiritually just as it evolves biologically. Rilke's message here is hopeful. In a world that often seems in decline, both spiritually and culturally, it's nice to ponder the thought that things are unfolding for the better over the long run.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732202925039933709.post-71957173119726478382011-01-31T12:01:22.186+01:002011-01-31T12:01:22.186+01:00Rilke's concept of God as the one who is comin...Rilke's concept of God as the one who is coming, being born, and my own <i>life as a painful and beautiful day in the history of an immense pregnancy . . . </i> resonates with my own desire to <i>create heaven on earth</i>. To think of <i>our</i> creating God, from the divine within us, feels even more powerful after encountering his ideas of it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
