Let me get out my tape measure- Let’s see, how tall is relationship? If it would just stay still, I could measure friendship Let me put the energy of a smile on the scale Along with all the stuff that really matters And a big soup spoon of not knowing Mixes energy and matter and mind Into the chicken soup of the universe Ilia patiently serves it up And with each sip, I feel a bit better A bit calmer, not being alone Thank you dear Sister Harry Thompson
Matter and energy are different forms of observable phenomena ie. they can be evidenced by an external observer. They make up a significant chunk of the observable universe. What about dark matter? Is it a “thing”, even though it is not observable? What Is it’s function in the context of the universe?
The answer, in a word, is “light,” used ten times in Genesis 1 as causal re: origins. Disengaged from the ravages of time as an eternal constant, like the sun is to moon phases, light is the everlasting principle (energy) manifested in the field of time, the invisible substance of all visible form. Light is the scientific identity and nature of spirit-soul as quanta, the highest part of matter having properties of consciousness “in which all things consist and hold together” (Col. 1), the 3rd or organic nature of Christ that “fills all things everywhere with himself” (Eph. 1) — another name for everything. Had Teilhard been as much theologian as scientist, with a cursory understanding of Christ as “the Light of the world” (Jn. 8), who “lights every man who comes into the world” (Jn. 1), and more attuned to the work of contemporaries Einstein and Tesla on matter as “slowed down light and sound waves,” he might have seen that science and religion were but competing partial truths, two disciplines viewing (joined by) the SAME interbeing element (light) enfolding them both and ALL things without distinction, key to non-dual awareness, and solving the science-religion mystery in his time. Yeshua says, ‘When asked of your origins,’ say to them: ‘We come from the Light. The place where the Light is manifest from itself . . . and manifests through their image.’(Thomas, saying 50).
What is God Today? is an Center for Christogenesis video series featuring interviews with Ilia Delio on the meaning of the divine in the 21st century and what God is doing in our midst. Watch the Series
I have been watching Ilia's talks and reading her writings quite often. Last year I interviewed Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim in Beijing while they were here for an international conference. In that interview we also talked a lot about Ilia's great works not only through the Christogenesis Center, but also though her teaching and writing. One young student name Liu Zheng is planning to do a fellowship with Ilia when the Covid-19 pandemic is over; he has been in touch with me very often sharing his ideas. Hope to be able to communicate and interview Ilia as well in the not distant future!

Let me get out my tape measure-
Let’s see, how tall is relationship?
If it would just stay still, I could measure friendship
Let me put the energy of a smile on the scale
Along with all the stuff that really matters
And a big soup spoon of not knowing
Mixes energy and matter and mind
Into the chicken soup of the universe
Ilia patiently serves it up
And with each sip, I feel a bit better
A bit calmer, not being alone
Thank you dear Sister

Lovely!
