I tried to satisfy some curiosities myself, as references should
be readily accessible. Alas my time and results (and existing
knowledge) are still too lacking (searching the list archives
was ..Challenging), so I'm hoping this will produce an answer or
(even better) dialogue here.
David Ash has a '97 book online, "Beware of God: The Ultimate
Paradox"...
http://www.juha.freeserve.co.uk/book/bewareofgod.html
To demystify the title (in case this isn't well known--for all I
know he lurks or participates in this list!) here are two short
excerpts:
"I wrote this book as a person of Jewish blood. It has not been
easy for me and for clarity and understanding I have prayed and
meditated. My reason for writing is, I believe, we are coming to
the end of the present order of things, and I contend the time
has come for the role of God’s Chosen People to be completed.
Their important play in history is over and now their power must
be broken.
[ . . . ]
"The truth is you are being tested to your limits in these final
days of materialistic civilisation. Take your personal power
now, before you become enslaved by the soul-less forces within
society. Trust yourself. Trust the future because you hold the
key to the future in your hands. You are the future. If you work
with the Spirit, the Earth will be yours and the fullness
thereof.
None of my dire warnings need come to pass. Indeed, I hope that
in my pessimistic predictions I will be proved a false prophet.
Nonetheless, for a gentle transition to occur from the old age
to the new, there is a need for people to be informed. If you
feel some of the information I have shared with you is shocking,
my reply is: ‘some people need a kick in the pants’. The truth
can often come as a shock.
If this book has helped to motivate you to take positive,
responsible action for your own evolution and the evolution of
the human race then it has served its purpose. Many will already
be aware of much of what I have said. If that is your case, I
hope this book will have helped you tie up a few loose ends. And
if you want to know who wound round the Tree of Knowledge and
enlightened Eve at the alpha point of human evolution, look at
the Caduceus."
This has nothing to do with science itself, nor perhaps any
interests of ASA or even anyone on this list, but I am
interested how mature Christians in science treat & classify
this dualistic viewpoint (inside or outside the context of
science, evolution, astronomy, etc) and opine David Ash (if
known) and a few of his citations (i.e. Carl Jung, or his
applications of the Bible).
While I embrace the Holiness and infinite Love of God, this work
does (partly!) express the passion with which I (if not
everyone) would ask certain questions if/when given the chance
in heaven.
Anyone have links, refs, or otherwise prepared answers?
"..and the greatest of these is Love."
Regards, Jim
