wisdom

So far in the Bible, I'm finding how much I dislike this God character. And if this is the case for you I do not think this excludes you from the kind of emotional wisdom spirituality can bring, just perhaps that some metaphors for this 'higher' being just dont work anymore. So create new ones, that's what I was trying to accomplish in calling God a she, because we ought to have divine fathers and mothers. That's what Blaked did, and I think that this is the true experience of wisdom. An Apothiosis that makes us a twin, the original meaning of Thomas' name, even of the creator, because we were made in it's image, endowed with the ability to create. Only when one can expand their imagination with basic knowledge of the true, can one experience knowledge, which is, I think, wisdom and gnosis. With the bible we are forced to imagine many things, like what Essau felt when he simply hugged his brother, or Joseph in the pit, or Abraham when he was dragging his son up a mountain to his doom. Knowledge, like the experience of reading the Bible, is more about the imaginitave process than some silly list of moral prohibitions.
