<br><br>" To err is human, to forgive divine"<br><br> Perhaps the bigger question should be - Which exactly are we ?<br><br><br> <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://mud.mm-a2.yimg.com/image/385221402" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><br><br> Both is my best guess. The choice is ours.<br><br> Just ask Leonardo <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . He seems to think we are both.<br><br> Sorry for not posting it on the pic section. You cant do this without words. <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> "...It intended to avoid setting up the old false contrast between spirit and matter, whereby spirit is treated in the abstract, and has no possibility of penetrating into the essence and activity of matter. When do we speak legitimately of the spirit? When do we speak truly of the spirit? We speak truly of the spirit, we are justified in speaking of the spirit, only when we mean the spirit as creator of the material. The worst kind of talk about the spirit<br>- even though this talk is often looked upon today as very beautiful - is that which treats the spirit as though it dwelt in Utopia, as if this spirit should not be touched at all by the material. No; when we speak of the spirit, we must mean the spirit that has the power to plunge down directly into the material. And when we speak of spiritual science, this must be conceived not only as merely rising above nature, but as being at the same time valid natural science. When we speak of the spirit, we must mean the spirit with which the human being can so unite himself as to enable this spirit, through man's mediation, to weave itself even into the social life. A spirit of which one speaks only in the drawingroom, which one would like to please by goodness and brotherly love, but a spirit that has no intention of immersing itself in our everyday life - such a spirit is not the true spirit, but a human abstraction; and worship of such a spirit is not worship of the real spirit, but is precisely the final emanation of materialism..."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ejohnrpenner/Articles/GoetheanumPics.html">Rudolf Steiner</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

To err is human, to forgive divine...<br><br>Does that mean Jesus is the antichrist? <p></p><i></i>
