Energy and Reconciliation
ENERGY and RECONCILIATION belong together like lyrical words and music do. They belong together because they make sense and intensify each other. Lyrics without music are flat and less inspiring; music without lyrics is so much background noise.
The effective togetherness of lyrics and music, of reconciliation and energy, is the togetherness of special fit, as in “packaging”. In this case, “packaging” is in dimensions of harmonic energy (superstrings), as in the resonant bonding of energy packets, in the substantive arrangements of durable configurations that seek out and correspond by means of compatible (sensible) resonances (energy waves). [Reference: Brian Greene, “THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS, Space, Time and the Texture of Reality” © 2004, Vintage Books, A Division of Random House, Inc., New York]
Gradations of energetic accommodation (cooling) allow for the coming together of wave energy in infinite possibilities. The infinite varieties of wave combinations allow for infinite possibilities of substantiation. All molecular arrangements, including our bodies, are substances of energetic accommodation, of wave-energy packets reconciling and coordinating new “words”, new music. In the case of life, they are conducted on the notes of DNA scores.
Consider water, for example. When cold, water hardens into crystalline ice structures; as water warms, it acquires energy and the ice turns to liquid. As water molecules attenuate even more energy, they dissipate into the air where they become accessible for further breakdown and recombination, as in live synthesis in cellular arrangements. The compatibilities of molecular energy (harmonics) account for particulate joining at the wave/ particle level in the formation of substances.
The words we speak, the thoughts we entertain, are resonances of energetic substances devised by soul/ body harmonies. We are “the music of the spheres”, and so is all life, all resonance of cosmic energy.
Humans are uniquely equipped (intelligently, harmonically) to seek and to reconcile with all that comes in sensible contact, and this they can do “intentionally” as well as unintentionally. Reconciliation happens intentionally, that is, by purposely making the effort to find harmony, compatibility and sensibility in interpersonal relationships. We reconcile by talking, reasoning together, by pursuing consonance, not dissonance.
By reconciliation it is possible for us as individuals to be more than background noise. We can become lyrics in the lives of each other. The energy that accomplishes lyrical compositions is love, the power of intentional communication by which we tune in to others and resonate with them.
Love (religious sensibility) compels us to do what is right and good for wellbeing — what harmony and reconciliation are about. An understanding of the codependency of energy and reconciliation gives a whole new meaning to the process of “WORD-made-flesh”.
The open understandings of quantum science and evolution are uniquely accessible in this time of Postmodernity. Religion loses credibility and potential to motivate hearts to love if it becomes concretized in closed thinking of the past and in mistaken notions of relationships.
Divisions, separation and alienation don’t just happen; they are driven by willfulness, and it takes willfulness, intentional energy, to stem the violence and heal the hurt. This is specifically true of the cultured alienation between the sexes. The arrogation of Church hierarchy in cultural dominion is a sad and tragic willfulness that requires much energy to reconcile.
Dear CTA of Iowa,
Here we go again...the unbridled power of an individual bishop not in collaboration with his brother bishops...who I hope go in private to their brother with Christian WWJD advice. Sad. Let's hope we all look at the BIG political picture. -- Linda
Sebelius and Kmiec

One of the unexpected bits of news yesterday was Douglas Kmiec’s report that he (a pro-life, conservative, law professor who is supporting Obama) had been barred from Communion. He joins Kathleen Sebelius in the small but growing group: “not at my Communion rail.”
Here is a response by Catholic Democrats.org on these two most recent outcasts.
“So, with the Democratic governor’s political star rising, the registered Republican Archbishop of Kansas City revived the use of Holy Communion as a political weapon to take her down. He publicly called on her to stop taking Communion with her Catholic community, because of her widely-known opposition to the use of criminal law in dealing with abortion. In a Catholic newspaper column, Archbishop Joseph Naumann indicated that he had made the request because he had been angered by her vetoes of several Republican bills restricting abortion in Kansas. In her most recent veto message, Gov Sebelius offered a detailed description of the lengths to which she had gone to address the abortion issue constructively, and lauded the success her administration had achieved in decreasing its incidence.
“Coincidentally, a California law school professor and Constitutional scholar, Douglas Kmiec, who is one of the country’s most outspoken opponents of abortion, found himself denied Communion because of his public support for Senator Obama. Prof Kmiec was attending a Mass prior to giving a speech to a group of Catholic businessmen, and reported on the website CatholicOnline that he was singled out because of his prominence as an Obama supporter. By this standard, anyone who expressed public support for President Bush could be excluded at Communion, given Mr Bush’s support for torture and the Bishops’ recent inclusion of torture (along with abortion) in their Faithful Citizenship document as ‘an intrinsically evil act.’
“The common thread in these two stories is that individual Catholic authorities took it upon themselves to judge that an association with a Democratic presidential candidate was sufficient cause for a subtle form of excommunication from the Catholic community.”

Thank you Sylvester, for the
Thank you Sylvester, for the inspiration you always bring to us.
I imagine Jesus as the composer and conductor of this great orchestra of the People of God, the Church. We are assembling together rehearsing a new symphony composed by God, and all eyes should be on the conductor, Jesus. Faith is each one's instrument; the notes are representative of the word of God. Everyone was supposed to practice and prepare to play this new piece with the great conductor one day. He gave us all the command to begin the rehearsal.
Some started playing in a different key by mistake and others in a different tempo. We'd have to stop and start again so many times and Jesus was very patient with us as we tried to learn the piece that he composed and learn his interpretation and meaning behind the entire piece. We read the notes on the page, and practiced it for a great deal of time before the rehearsal and it seemed perfectly performed when all alone in practice by ourselves.
But when we had to come together and play this as a symphonic piece as one sound out of many we were all out of sync because we could not understand the meaning behind the intention of the piece, nor did we understand where He was intending to take us in this piece and we weren't acting as a team and listening to each other. Many had preconceived notions about the meaning and tempo and essentially had to relearn everything in a new tempo during the rehearsal. We'd follow the notes and play them one by one and in phrases until we got all the bars played right. But we were still not in sync with each other and the sound that emanated was an unbearable screechy, annoying dissonance.
The good conductor and composer knew this was not the harmonic music He intended all to hear and it sounded like a completely different piece than He had composed. He didn't fire anyone from the orchestra or point blame at any of the musicians or chorus. He was patient through it all and asked us all to go home and practice some more and think over what He had said about the composition and come back in a week to rehearse it again with Him.
Everyone felt pretty awful that they disappointed Jesus. As some were leaving they'd accuse a group of musicians in the string section of messing up. The base section musicians were blaming fault on the wind section. The chorus section were all murmuring amongst themselves and pointing fingers and whispering some gossip or other that had nothing to do with the music but with politics. Two musicians were threatened by the lead violinist that if they didn't change their tune and practice it the way it was supposed to be played that he'd take their instrument from them to protect others from its sound.
The two musicians spoke to Jesus about the lead violinist's threat. Jesus told them not to worry, because the instrument they were given was a gift from God and that the violinist didn't have any such authority over Him and His judgment to take it from them.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall or (Heaven)???
Practice. Practice. Practice. ;)
Butterfly you deserve a 10
Butterfly you deserve a 10 for this. For that matter so does Sylvester.

Should the Archbishop be
Should the Archbishop be refused communion or denied the right to say Mass? He is dividing the church. He is using Communion as a bargaining chip in a political contest.He is imposing on politicians the job he should be doing. Why isn't he changing the hearts of the public about abortion and the beauty of life instead of threatening the people who follow the dictates of their conscience in making their principles those of the greater good. I have said this a many times here abortion is a sin of the performing doctor and to a lesser extent the mother and society in general. Abortion is evil but Communion is not a bargaining chip.
