re thief on the cross
Deborah-Leigh:
Your post caused me to think of this jER. From http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,5312.0.html Quote:
So the more we study this Word of God, the more we see it’s all one thing. There is one giant parable and it is this.
Gen 1:26 “And God said, Let Us be making man in Our image…”
There it is!

It doesn’t matter what subject we study it always goes back to that one thing. What is it that God is doing? He's changing us from what we are, into what we are going to be. That whole thing is what we call life, creation, existence, the plan of God. It’s all that ONE thing, all of it. You’ve got to relate everything that there is in the universe to this one thing that God is doing.
He’s changing humanity into His own image!
Peace to you

Indeed, Arcturus...
"It’s like you go to the Grand Canyon, it’s all one canyon, you know. You can take pictures at sunrise or at noonday or take pictures at sunset. You can go down into it with the mules or you can go from the edge or you can go from the north side or the west side or from a airplane or helicopter. Now they even have a glass bottom floor, where you can walk out and look straight down.
But it’s all the same Grand Canyon, is it not. So you can view it from many different angles. Once you become familiar with the Grand Canyon, you can look at pictures from a helicopter or from this end or that end, from the bottom looking up or from the top looking down and you will know that it’s the Grand Canyon. Even if all the pictures are angled differently and there’s different lighting, you’ll still know it’s the grand canyon."

...and, I only live an hour from the Grand Canyon! :D
His Peace to you,

Deborah-Leigh:
That is so special jER. You can really identify with that spiritual teaching perhaps unlike anyone who has not had the joy of seeing the Grand Canyon!
In South Africa we have a place that is called God's window. It is I imagine a parallel to the Grand Canyon but on a way smaller scale. Anyway, when you reach the point to where you can see downwards, it is as if you are in an aeroplane and not on Terra firma!
The Grand Canyon is something I think I'd enjoy seeing though and through the spiritual perspectives you have quoted from Ray, it challenges, invites and encourages to so integrate the Truth as to see it from all directions as God's own plan and His own purposes coming to pass!
Peace be to you
Arcturus :)
