In our ancestor’s primitive rituals of enacting the dying god as scapegoat, the god impersonates the innocent. That is, the roles are reversed and it is the god identified as the “nascent-minded”, “idiot” or “fool”. This seemingly simple minded one or village idiot is selected usually by their meekness and
The Scapegoat and the Universal Evolution of Consciousness to the Christ 1
I was teaching on the very touchy subject of Christian Universal Salvation the other day when one of my students confronted me with what he called the ‘faulty nature’ of the penal system against Christ. He asked, “why should I believe in an angry God who is shocked with the
Atonement

Atonement creates the language of boundaries” and places colors on a canvass which would otherwise be white – reflecting

One could use

The Classical Greek Paideia was originally the classical education for the early Greek youth. The central Philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle comprised a large component of this Paideia. Language, Logic, and Rhetoric were the primers by which all further study into the sciences could ‘rationally’ be obtained. The language

One could safely say that until the past century, especially at the point of understanding Einstein’s equation E=mc2 , “time” was relatively not understood.
