RE: Unfiltered Wisdom – Khalil Gibran, Thoughts on God
Never heard of Khalil Gibran. There is more of these recent universalistic religions than I knew of. I somehow like that people keep thinking and updating, no matter if it is philosophy, political ideology or religion. There should be fresh thoughts also even though some of the things Buddha or Jesus said 2000 years ago still is legitimate.
The different faiths are somehow analogous to rivers. They all flow back to the ocean. The more ancient ones have a lot of twists and turns, and the water is sometimes a bit murky, but you can reach the same destination traveling on any of them.
The spiritual essence of the world religions is timeless, but the less important rites, rituals, and dietary rules change. On the practical side, the conditions of the world and humanity also change, as does our knowledge base, so it makes sense that a revelation would reflect that too.
Anyway, I think you would like Khalil Gibran, he was a painter who also painted with words.
I have found some of the paintings. Very fascinating. I really got my horizon expanded which is not really that common :)
I have a little bit more to share in a later post about him as an artist. So stay tuned :-)
That'll be great!
