Everybody’s a
heretic, it seems. The mirror of the divine is so splintered that every
fragment has sharp edges. Heresy is fake news, but is fake news heresy? Denial
of truth, by those who should know better, makes climate change deniers the
greatest heretics yet known. It’s possible to live within each cult or practice
so entirely that the whole aura or culture of your nearest neighbor is opaque.
Political ideas of left and right hardly apply to religion: extremities of right
and left meet rounding the corner, for politics is circular, while religion is
ultimately free of time and space. Without the abrogation of time and space certain
doctrines of the Churches become fanciful, while liberation and enlightenment
release seekers from the time-bound processes of the Wheel. Neither time nor
space will ultimately prove to be as we now comprehend. Surely they will be
built on numbers: both sacred geometry and sacred music are established and grounded
in number. If the statement that God is love is truth, what’s the number of
love? Dante thought it was 9, or 3x3. The church teaches it as 1 in 3. It won’t
be man alone, a single self. Count my heresies.
