    That is something that took me about 55 years to understand and I am really glad I finally did.

    Yes, and i believe that once we all truly find that to know the mystery is to know the self, then we can all live as it is intended for us to live in P.E.A.C.E

    “Acceptance of the mystery” Isn’t that what faith is about?

    well karen ! does the mere mortal have any choice ! it’s not the noblest thing a human being can expereince, it is the only wise thing he can do; does eventually sooner or later. acceptence of the mystry does not mean being done with it; only after acceptance comes living, enjoying the mystry !!

    As for me, Love is the noblest thing. Unconditionnal Love. Mystery is not made only of It.

    Coimbra, 23 de Abril de 1975.
    ” Há poucos dias, durante a homilia da missa dominical na igreja de uma freguesia rural das cercanias, o padre falou aos seus paroquianos sobre as próximas eleições para a Assembleia Constituinte. Lançou mão da parábola para melhor se fazer compreender e disse-lhes:

    -”Meus caros irmãos em Cristo: suponhamos que um de vós é dono de uma vaca leiteira; se ganhar o socialismo, fica o irmão com a vaca, mas tem que dar o leite a esse partido; se ganhar o comunismo, fica sem a vaca e sem o leite…” ”

    Cristóvão de Aguiar, in Relação de Bordo (1964-1988), página 164, Grande Prémio de Literatura Biográfica APE/CMP - 2000 (ESGOTADO)

    I guess that’s true if you think of ‘acceptance of the mystery’ as analogous to being in a state of obedience to divine will, travelling with the zeitgeist, experiencing a revelation - maybe as a vision, or audio-vision - some form of enlightenment. That is ultimatley the mystery of love, the comprehension of paradise, but you have to know that it can never be grasped, only lived through in timeless moments of infinity. It is a butterfly.
