"The Shack" is about
Exposing "God-Constraining"
"Though based Images."
***
"The Shack" exposes
"Hidden graven images" we
"Mentally worship."
Still unwittingly
Worshipping graven mental
Images of thought.
***
"The Shack" is about
Exploding self-limiting
Dogmatic boundaries.
"The Shack" is about
Exploding self-limiting
Doctrinal envelopes.
***
"The 'carnal' killing
The 'divine' motif" is at
The heart of "The "Shack."
The "Shack Story" is
A metaphor for "carnal
Mind's murder" of Christ.
***
Carnal mind murders
The Child of God I Am in
This Very Moment.
We murder the "Christ
Child in us" when we "presume
To judge other folks."
***
"The Shack" reveals the
Truth that "We play God when We
Judge other people.
The "Shack" points out that
We play God" when we sit in
Judgement of others.
***
Sitting in Judgment
Of others is playing God
And comes at a price.
[Rich Note: In asking friend Rudy if he had seen the movie version of "The Shack," the following edited stream arose:
Rich: "...Have you read or seen "The Shack" [which is seen here, as a metaphor for the "carnal-minded mental manger" (or, "crib") in which "Barabbas' (or Cain, as the son of carnal mind or relative, self-reflective and absorbed consciousness) murders the "Christ (or 'Child Heart of God I Am' as 'This Awareness, Right Here, Right Now') Child" as a "moment to moment, current event."].
Interested in your take, as there still seem to some "fundamentalists/ literalists" in the Church (around here) unwilling to "crucify there cherished conceptual doctrine and dogma" (and so themselves) with regard to answering Christ's most critical question to Mankind [Re: "Who do ye say (with your mouth and know in your Heart) that I am"? (I Am/I AM)?]; and, accordingly, "pitching a fit" about "The Shack's doctrinal envelope pushing.

"The Question" is not
"Whether there is a God but
"Whose playing the role?"
Playing God without
The Divine Data Bank is
A Fatal Mistake.
Faith in Doctrine is
Worshiping conceptual
Graven Images.

Rudy: "No, but on my list!"
Rich: "..."It's Bridge Work"
Rich: "Expansion on "It's Bridge Work": ...which I also see as "conceptual envelope expanding" (and, at least potentially, exploding) -- which does seem to be the Primary Mission Description (Job One), here; as a kind of an Intellectual "Bridge to NoWhere/NowHere." (Absolutely Nothing I enjoy more, here, than: "Enquiring in the Temple.")"
[Rich Note: (Speaking of "doctrinal envelope exploding with respect to Christ's, "...Who say ye that I am?" inquiry )...the following two Sri Nisargadatta quotes, which were run into while looking for another quote to share, do exactly that:
"...M: In the immensity of consciousness a light appears, a tiny point that moves rapidly and traces shapes, thoughts and feelings, concepts and ideas, like a pen writing on paper. And the ink that leaves a trace is memory. You are that tiny point and by your movement the world is ever re-created. Stop moving and there will be no world. Look within and you will find that the point of light is the reflection of the immensity of light in the body as the sense ‘I am’. There is only light all else appears.
(Moonlight gazing back
At the Sunlight at its Source
Would say: “I Am That”!)
"...Q: What is the use of a quiet mind?
"M: When the mind is quiet, we come to know ourselves as the pure witness. We withdraw from the experience and its experiencer and stand apart in pure awareness, which is between and beyond the two. The personality, based on self-identification, on imagining oneself to be something: 'I am this, I am that', continues, but only as a part of the objective world. Its identification with the witness snaps."
