Christianity and the Higher Emotions
Biblical ages and the development of human consciousness
More heart, please
I had a recent discussion with a Twitter follower. She told me that she enjoyed my articles but wanted more heart to go along with the contemplation. Sadly, I wasn’t able to give her what she craved.
Fortunately, there is an author on Twitter with the handle @Rev_RolandUMC. Reverend Roland satisfied her need for a Jesus wrapped in warm fuzzies while I continued to give her my version of Jesus together with the sensation one gets when a new synaptic connection is formed.
Reverend Roland has it easy because, quite simply, Christianity is the religion of love, or to be more exact, of the higher emotions.
Astrotheological ages redux
As I have written about in an earlier article, each Biblical age corresponds to an astrological age. Christianity was the primary religion of Western civilization during the Age of Pisces. The zodiac sign of Pisces is ruled by Jupiter which is the planet corresponding to the higher emotions. During this age, God was both father and son bound together in a bloody ritual of mercy and sacrifice.
