  Our Inner Compass: Facts and Deep Knowing  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” ‭‭Matthew ‭16‬:‭15‬ NIV‬‬                           Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ NIV‬‬                          (Surrender beyond rational control makes something happen) The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music The Aria "Je Crois Encore" (I believe I can still hear) comes from Georges Bizet's opera, The Pearl Fishers. A fisherman, Nadir, believes he hears a melody that sounds from beneath the palm trees - a half-remembered truth, like intuition's quiet pull. Deep knowledge often feels like this: a song you can’t quite place, a voice you’re not sure is yours or God’s or the universe humming through you. May you listen for the small voice—soft in volume, vast in power....

Ons Binne-kompas: Feite en Diep-weet Hy sê toe vir hulle: “Maar julle, wie sê julle is Ek?” ‭‭Matteus‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬ ‭AFR20‬‬                           “Vertrou op die Here met jou hele hart – op jou eie insig moet jy nie staatmaak nie.” ‭‭Spreuke‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭AFR20‬‬                          (Oorgawe buite rasionele beheer laat iets gebeur) Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Die aria " Je crois entendre encore" (Ek glo ek kan nog steeds hoor) kom uit Georges Bizet se opera, Die Pêrel Vissers. 'n Visser, Nadir, glo hy hoor 'n melodie wat onder die palms opklink - 'n half-onthoue waarheid, soos intuïsie se stil aantrekkingskrag. Diep wete voel dikwels so: 'n melodie wat jy nie heeltemal kan plaas nie, 'n stem waarvan jy nie seker is of dit joune of God s'n, of die heelal is wat deur jou neurie nie. Mag jy fyn ingestel wees op die fluistering - sag, maar krag...

Spirituality In Conversation With Einstein The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music Originally sung by Coldplay, this song is actually about a lover who tries to be a scientist in his efforts to determine why a relationship just isn't working. Even the greatest scientists have not yet been able to come up with a formula for that aspect of being human. And a side note: Einstein's own love life was also complex. In 2017, on our way to a Living School symposium in Albuquerque in the USA, we ran into Einstein at the airport in Frankfurt. With our love. Which also travels at the speed of light.

Spiritualiteit In Gesprek Met Einstein Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Oorspronklik deur Coldplay gesing, gaan dit hier eintlik om 'n minaar wat sy lyf wetenskaplike hou en probeer bepaal waarom 'n verhouding net nie wil werk nie. Selfs die grootste wetenskaplikes kon nog nie met  'n formule daarvoor vorendag kom nie.  En 'n kantnota: Einstein se eie liefdeslewe was ook maar kompleks. In 2017, op pad na 'n Living School simposium in Albuquerque in die VSA, het ons Einstein op die lughawe in Frankfurt raakgeloop.  Met ons liefde. Wat ook teen die spoed van lig beweeg. George & Matilda

Spirituality In Conversation With Science The Conversation Elements From The Conversation ~ ❖ ~ "Great science, which we once considered an “enemy” of religion, is now helping us see that we’re standing in the middle of awesome Mystery, and the only response before that Mystery is immense humility. Astrophysicists are much more comfortable with darkness, emptiness, non-explainability (dark matter, black holes), and living with hypotheses than most Christians I know. Who could have imagined this?” Richard Rohr              ~ ❖ ~ Music   This week there is a particularly long introduction to the music we will listen to. But we think, against the background of our conversation with science, it is justified. It originally appeared in the November 1955 issue of Reader's Digest. The Night I Met Einstein by Jerome Weidman When I was a very young man, just beginning to make my way, I was invited to dine at the home of a distinguished New York philanthropi...

Maar ons dink, teen die agtergrond van ons gesprek met die wetenskap, is dit geregverdig. Dit het oorspronklik in die November 1955 uitgawe van Reader's Digest verskyn.
