Color Your World with NCD

At one time I was taught only God could be creative. We were only able to discover, copy, and construct what was already available from god in ways new to ourselves and others. Though it may be true we can do no more then discover, it may be we are creative as we recreate our understanding and even ways of thinking constantly. Creation may compel us to be creative to keep up with the revelation unfolding around and through us from god.

"Nothing new under the sun" is an example of how thinking can become frozen and dated despite ongoing revelation, and grow heavy with resting inertia of sacred language. For example Galileo revealed that we are not "under" the sun, and yet the language and persistent notion of being in a fixed dark place awaiting sunrise prevails. We are all traveling at fantastic speed as the earth turns on an axis, orbits a star, and the star itself is traveling into new space even as it rotates in a galaxy traveling outward in an infinite and edgeless universe. None of us stand where we have been in this universe before. None of us can walk the path through space that any one else has, or will again.

Knowledge of god's creation is not just in the ever larger direction.

It is clear to me creation implies changing forms growing from a consistent intention.

Genesis maybe more creatively interpreted as ongoing rather than static. The continuing beginnings when we may allow God to inspire us to move from our own minds formless void in darkness toward light and forms that generate open self organizing systems consistent with the will of god.

Glory is a relatively new word for the illumination by God and recognition of it by us back to god. The idea represented predated the word thought to have first been published around 1150 C.E. no doubt. No doubt there will be new words "created" to share our understanding of our creator as we move through time and space. Then the question becomes not, "May I create?"; but "How can I believe in god as creator, and not be open to consider that creation and even be a creative part of it myself?"

Praxis--passion in action. I can't think of a better word that describes all of what God has done for us and what he longs to do through us(the Church)!!.
