The second horizon!

The liminal threshold……?? (Psychoanalysis)

Chamonix, Haute savoie, France

The Aiguilles Rouges (Red Peaks) mountain range dominates this scenic view of the Chamonix region of south-eastern France. Chamonix is a popular destination for skiers, and its reputation as one of the world’s premiere winter playgrounds was assured when it became the first location of the Winter Olympic Games in 1924.
It’s also home to what is currently the highest vertical-ascent cable car in the world. The cable car takes visitors from a starting elevation of 1,035 metres in Chamonix up to 3,842 metres at the summit of Aiguille du Midi. Some passengers were recently stranded overnight in the cars at an altitude of nearly 3,810 metres, but no one was hurt following a daring helicopter rescue. For now, we’ll just admire the view from here, thanks.

SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION WHATSAPP GROUP

CONTACT ME (+919840227977), if you’re interested in joining……

 

_____________________________

 

Dear friends…

 

WELCOME!

 

This is a forum for free exchange of views (beliefs & values) & open/mature/serious dialogue.

 

For adults ONLY.

 

Language – English

 

– No more forwards (pictures, videos, jokes, Christian messages, etc.) will be allowed in this group. So please avoid sending them.

 

– If you find anything that is good (important,  useful, interesting, & relevant to the theme of this group – serious discussion of faith/life), then you can send just the online link (URL). But this also, only a maximum of one per day per person.

 

– But you can send small excerpts like quotes (max. 2-3 sentences/a small paragraph).

 

– If anyone violates this rule, they will be given a warning. The next time, they will be evicted from the group.

 

– I am bringing in this rule so that our conversations will be more authentic & substantial.

 

Please cooperate.

 

Any feedback can be sent to me personally, not in the group.

 

THANK YOU!

 

Friends, please avoid any communication that is not meant for the entire group, but only for an individual.

 

– I was part of another WhatsApp group in which the administrators had this rule, & I saw that it really helped to maintain a better quality of conversation!

 

– But when it comes to expressing your own views & experiences, you have FULL FREEDOM!

 

– Let the conversation flow! Let us all feel free to express ourselves fully. Let us accept & respect each other. Let us push & shove each other, as we clash, in the pursuit of truth & glory – together! 👣

 

– Diversity/variety of persons, & therefore theologies is a wonderful & complex fact! 😇✨
Let us just enjoy being exposed to the Great Other, through encounters & communication with all these others.
I would request everyone to just relax & speak their minds without any fear! 🍷
It can be difficult, frightening & painful to interact with radically different persons/views, but that is what helps us grow! We are forced to stretch. Otherwise what’s the point in any conversation?? We are NOT here to just rub each other’s backs……

 

– Dear folks… Please note that we will be focusing on spiritual conversation (the purpose & title of this group) and NOT personal confrontation. The latter can be done in private chats with individuals on WhatsApp!
– Here, we will be trying to distinguish between WHAT is being said and WHO is saying it, and then concentrate on the former, NOT the latter.
– This will be followed as a strict rule!

 

– And although Christian theology is an integral part of the exchanges in this open forum, spiritual conversation is not limited to it!

 

Spiritual > Christian.

 

Faith > religion.

 

So get ready to be exposed, & to explore!

 

– If anyone doesn’t like the experience, please feel free to contact the administrator(s) to give feedback (in private chat), or leave the group.

 

 

 

 

PEACE

 

“Madras” film review (3.5/5 – Hit)

What a refreshing and exhilarating experience to watch a Tamil movie after so long!

Compare with “Aayudha Ezhuthu” – the good guys need to fight tooth and nail with the powers that be, to both enter into the political class and to raise political awareness among the masses through critical, conscientious education.

Superb acting by the leads; the songs were awesome too.

Humanity/nobility/hope survives and even flourishes in the toughest and darkest places, if you only have the eyes to see……

Compare and contrast the leadership styles of Anbu & Kali. What are their respective strengths and weaknesses? Who do I resemble more?

The ‘Johnny’ character is analogous to Gollum in ‘Lord of the Rings’…
