05 Apr Pastor Pat Bailey, Insights: Consciousness, Objective & Subjective
Last Sunday, my sermon addressed our need to recognize both the objective and subjective aspects of our consciousness. We live in interesting times, when the objective or rational mode of knowing has displaced much of the old subjectivity. What we see emerging, however, are new modes of subjectivity that are post or trans-rational. So, Jesus’ words, “One does not live by bread alone” can still invite us into the deeper aspects of knowing and being.
