  And . . . Enneagram The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music Feeling blue, or depressed is something we tend to avoid at all cost. However, it can be a very wise guide, the bearer of healing and growth. It tends to reveal those times and places where we are off track in our search for ourselves. As Birdtalker sings: But you wipe clean All of these illusions that ain't me Peace, you told me, I'm only here to reveal Where you've been stuck and where you're going if you're lookin' to heal But you've gotta drop these vain addictions and hang on to what's real In essence the message of the Enneagram.  “Ask, and you will receive;  seek, and you will find;  knock, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks will receive,  and anyone who seeks will find,  and the door will be opened to those who knock.”                                     ...

  En . . . Enneagram Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Neerslagtigheid, of 'n doodse gevoel is iets wat ons so vêr as moontlik probeer vermy. Dit kan egter ook 'n wyse leermeester wees en juis genesing bring, omdat dit dikwels uitwys wanneer ons op verkeerde plekke na onsself soek. Soos Birdtalker sing: But you wipe clean All of these illusions that ain't me Peace, you told me, I'm only here to reveal Where you've been stuck and where you're going if you're lookin' to heal But you've gotta drop these vain addictions and hang on to what's real Dis juis die Enneagram se boodskap.  “Vra, en vir julle sal gegee word; soek, en julle sal kry; klop, en vir julle sal oopgemaak word, want elkeen wat vra, ontvang; en elkeen wat soek, kry; en vir elkeen wat klop, sal oopgemaak word.”                                                      ‭‭Matt ‭7...

  I Am, And Living Mindfully The Conversation Elements From The Conversation There is much to learn from the Jews with whom we share the Old Testament. In a conversation with Benjamin D. Sommer, professor of Bible at the Jewish Theological Seminary (NYC), he has this to say about the Jewish approach to Biblical interpretation and different viewpoints: ____________________ … in rabbinic literature argument is often considered something that we do for the sake of heaven, for the sake of God that is, disagreeing about exactly how to interpret God's will, that intellectual activity of disagreeing about, debating about, studying further, the interpretation of God's will, for us Jews, that's actually a form of worship. It's not only prayer that is a form of worship. It is very often study of sacred literature that is also a very important form of worship - a way of showing our loyalty and love and obedience of God in traditional Judaism generally. In Judaism, debating about ...

  Ek Is, En Bewustelik Leef Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Ons kan baie leer by die Jode wat die Ou Testament met ons deel, veral t.o.v hul benadering wanneer daar verskil van mening is. In 'n gesprek met die skrywer, Rachel Held Evans rondom die tema  Unraveling and Re-raveling the Bible , sê sy die volgende hieroor: ____________________ So I did this year of Biblical womanhood [which turned into a book]… and the project was probably the first time I spent a good amount of time speaking with and studying Jewish interpretations of the text. [In the process] I got to know an Orthodox Jewish lady named Ahava who helped me with some of the weird stuff that I had to do through the year following all those laws from Hebrew Scripture. Just getting to know her and getting to know some Jewish interpreters and seeing the Bible from that perspective really resonated with the invitation into questioning, that is just at the at the heart of how they engage. Ahava’s husband is a rabb...
