More Popery
The Pope’s has apologized. He says he wanted to open a debate on the use of violence in religion. In response to this our TV screens are filled with ‘Muslims’ holding placards proclaiming ‘Death to Christianity’ and ‘Kill the Pope’ and such. Now ‘al-Qaeda’ have declared ‘Holy War’ on the West.
What is actually happening here?
If we are interested in Sufism, mysticism and general esoteric wiseacring - and that is what this blog actually is - then what we are essentially interested in is the distinction between ‘illusion’ or apparent/concensus reality and ‘reality’. Ie the idea that what we see on a daily basis may be ‘false’ or illusory and that we need to ‘wake up’.
