Appendix.I.Cross.Shaped.Cosmos.Dying.2.Live. (original) (raw)

This essay plumbs cosmological findings to illustrate the notion that "real living" means dying to the self-centered "Self" (as 'god') and living into love for others, as the fulfillment of the aspirations of all the world's most popular "religions", each pursuing its "goal" from a different (but related) perspective. We are loved into existence. To truly live, we must respond with love to "the other", including those at the margins. A personal manifesto, capping the exploration of ten metaphors leading to "life overflowing".
