TheBookHippie I did better when I realised its Mystery -not about having explanations for how everything works. Instead it‘s about the embrace of mystery. I don‘t mean mystery in the literary sense, as in something that will be solved by the end of the book. Nor do I mean mystery in the scientific sense, as if the right amount of evidence will help us find the answer⬇️ 1y
TheBookHippie ⬆️ mystery is not something that we do not happen to know; instead, it is something that we cannot know. The questioning part and discussion part of Judaism is this I think. 🤷🏻♀️ 1y
kspenmoll @TheBookHippie I like your definition/thought about mystery being something we cannot know. While I struggle to understand some of the philosophy we are reading, our discussions are invaluable. 1y

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll I feel exactly the same way. I learn so much from everyone. 1y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I like that. The whole point is you can‘t ever really know, but the discussions, questions, and time spent mulling it over bring you closer to that mystery and help you define yourself for yourself. 1y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Exactly, think of those who say they know god or his will without a doubt- do they really? What are they using it for? Does it bear good fruit or good seeds if growth .. to say you know god and what he‘d say is an abomination of all faith. 1y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 100% agree! Anyone who says that uses it for their own ends, even if their followers can‘t see it. 1y
