Each generation has its own ways of trying to ignore its finitude---occasioned by the limitations of its chosen languages and chosen conceptions of the ultimate nature of reality. Each tends to see many of its blessings as flowing from its own transcendence over previous generations' limitations with respect to knowledge, understanding, perspectives, skills, resources, dedication, language, world-view, virtue, purity, or power of transcendence. God offers to each generation to lift the burden of having the responsibility for having provided blessings---so each may praise a power beyond --- from whom all blessing flow. Many insist on carrying that burden --- and are crushed by it. Their pride goes before their fall and occasions it. Some attribute to God the legalistic codes by which they seek to assure proper conformity---and thereby tend to attribute to evil powers God's judgements which flow contrary to their chosen legalism. They are cut off from God. Some attribute to God the natural laws which they have chosen as being most basic in their conception of the ultimate unchanging nature of an eternal reality---and thereby tend to block more blessed changing perceptions of a dynamic reality, which by grace might be chosen, and realized; for humane reasons which transcend objectivity and logic. Some attribute to God the lifestyle they encountered in their own childhood---and thereby block visions of dynamic living which involves greater intimacy, openness, honesty, forgiveness, generosity, sharing, vulnerability, hope, joy, trust, faith, and love. Some attribute to God need for their particular services --- and volunteer to represent God to the un- enlightened; offering to them salvation in return for conformity to some static lifestyle which presumably is ordained by God. To all such arrogant persons God offers the freedom to accept their own finitude, and to cope honestly within a reality which is constantly being transformed by Love in the eternal now of I-Thou relationships. Few like the terms of the offer. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
