A brief reflection for today... Today, I share an excerpt from a fascinating book. I
could have chosen any other passage, as there’s plenty to pick from in this
work. Here it is for you to ponder: “Many mystics from various religions have been
persecuted by their respective churches, as the mystic establishes direct
contact with God without the need for priests or intermediaries, thereby
challenging the authority of the religious institution. In some cases, they
were even sentenced to death and executed, as happened with Joan of Arc, who
was burned at the stake and, five hundred years later, canonized by the same
Roman Church that had condemned her. This saint exemplifies the variability of
the concept of truth—or rather, the influence that society and historical
context exert on what is deemed true at a given time.” (Francisco J. Rubia, "The brain deceives us) P.S.: The image accompanying this text does not move.
It’s our brain that deceives us, making us perceive a nonexistent motion.
