What new insights are emerging for you?

Right now, some insights I’m having are:
1. The Divine is inherently and eternally relational from within itself, as all things in relationship with each other are the Divine
2. Understanding Jesus as the Messiah can create unintentional bias against Jews, creating an assumption that Jesus was the Messiah and thus, the Jews don’t actually understand their own scriptures since they don’t hold this view. A question Christians need to wrestle with is how they can understand Jesus as Messiah and yet not hold condescending views about Judaism.
3. If we really want to learn about the simplicity Jesus taught, we can look to the Amish as an example of a simple lifestyle.
4. It is possible to blend Christianity and Humanism.
5. Accurate veridical perceptions, while anecdotal and not experimental, provide some compelling evidence for functioning beyond the brain during NDEs.
6. Elephants are seen by many Hindus as living incarnations of Ganesh, the elephant-headed god of success.
7. World War II is the main backdrop against which most UFO mythology developed in the United States.
8. Ancient Astronaut Theory is problematic in its racist tendency to assume that aliens must have been involved in the innovations of ancient societies because “those people” couldn’t have possibly developed culture on their own.
