Yekaterinburg, Russia. GMT 05:00
Falling into reminiscence has lately become rather idiosyncratic about my almost everyday mental activity. Indeed, each and every corner of the city I am currently residing in is filled with redolence, plus the rainy weather stimulates my sad memories. Indeed, I am already thirty (some people would rather say “only thirty”, but that is their opinion). I do have something to recollect and to ponder about: my school time, my university years, spiritual searching, which is continuing now, my unhappy marriage, which ended up in a divorce…
I went to the university today. As I was alone in our teachers’ room, I began to speculate, which is quite usual now. This time, I was thinking about religion. Each Christian church, synagogue, or any other religious association claims its superiority over others and moreover it tries to prove its own truth, saying that it is the ONLY true organization, which leads straight to Paradise, Celestial Kingdom, etc. while other churches, synagogues, and so on, are not quite true and do not lead to salvation. How should we, laypeople, then find our own way to the High Absolute or in other words, to salvation among such great motley of religions and faiths? There was one awesome woman of the Middle Ages, Marguerite Porrette, who was the author of a book named « Le Miroir des simples âmes anéanties et qui seulement demeurent en vouloir et désir d’amour ». She anticipated the thoughts of a great many philosophers and scribes of the following centuries. Marguerite Porrette believed that it was unnecessary to use the clergy to come to God and reach the Paradise. How can I, a stinky fleabag, be compared to her? Nevertheless, I share her thoughts in the 21st century.
By and large, if we apply these knowledge to our days, our desires and aspirations (I say “our” to mean the people who share the same thoughts as I do), we can say, that, for example, none of the so-called immigration agencies in our country actually send people abroad and help them get settled there; but rather, they just collect money from them as did the Roman Catholic priests in Europe of the Middle Ages. Though, this is the latest thought of mine, which arouse several minutes ago, an original comparison.
I have finished my speculations at the university at about 1 p.m. and went home. Such was my day today. Something is still to come, but I do not think, that anything significant will happen.
