Universal Christ, part 2: The pattern of loss and renewal

This second presentation on the Universal Christ continues to draw our attention to God's perfect symmetry between the macroscopic and the microscopic. Secondly, Doug speaks about the pattern of Love's own becoming in which there is always a dying and rising, loss and renewal, losing and gaining. This paradox is exquisitely exemplified by the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon Richard Rohr's teaching, we see that Jesus is a visible icon of an invisible universal Reality. To find out what God has been up to for the last 14 billion years, look at the life of Jesus; and to find out how to interpret the life of Jesus, engage with God's "first Bible:" creation and its cycles of transformation. There's perfect symmetry there, too.
