Talking with Dr. James Alison helps me consider the two dominant Christian views in the West:
-We're separate from God and gotta get back.
-And we're already at one with God with no need to return.
I lean toward the latter, but only after I get to talk a little about what it might mean to be "at one with God." I love this whole subject, and the thoughts I share here have helped me tremendously in dealing with loss and life, but I will say that trafficking in these kinds of ideas has cost me some friendships. So, I guess, listen and apply gently and judiciously. God bless.
