Maybe he called himself an atheist, because he did not agree with the picture of God descriped in the bible and was in contradiction with the opinion of the church, but in his heart he was a believer. P.S. I still could not post a comment with the new system. On Kazantzakis:

Some bedouins have high moralities yet others are scum. nevertheless, most of them have strong characters, just like Ahab.

I was chastising myself that I had learned nothing from life, because when I was put to the test, I had failed. But now I understand! :) Rabbi ben Abuyah's saying is exactly the core of what I need to know to understand myself, and to see HOW I should learn the lesson I need to learn. I had thought that I will make fewer mistakes as I pass along the spiritual path. So, I had been measuring myself by that, and getting frustrated. However, it seems that that is probably not true!!? Because I was prejudiced about the spiritual path, I was very conscious of the results of my efforts. But once I enter a (mental) space where I leave my prejudices aside, the lesson automatically came to me. I see the mistakes I am making, and that I am not 'traveling light'. Even my expectations are weighing me down! This is, indeed, THE lesson :) Thank you, Paulo for posting this exactly when I needed it! PS: I am a silent reader, have posted only once or twice though I have read this blog for more than a year. There are probably several like me, who say little, but for whom your blog helps shed light. Thanks from all those readers!

The first one shows how our robotic nature operates, and how using that knowledge as an instrument for good, made it possible for a whole city to decide to change. The second one I must agree, is one of the best descriptions of the concept of God, amazing summary that entangles both science and religious extasis. The third one is so simple, yet profound, that is its beauty, the power of now. I loved the 3 pieces.

Also, ambiguity might be more powerful than absolute clarity but one has to use the context judiciously...good lesson for those in public life and those who wish to build great, new thoughts.
