More From Hans Urs Von Balthasar

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
Christians have always tended to transform the christian revelation into a christian religion. christianity is said to be a religion like any other or, conversely, some christians try to show that it is a better religion than the others. people attempt to take possession of god. theology claims to explain everything, including the being of god. people tend to transform christianity into a religion because the christian faith obviously places people in an extremely uncomfortable position ­ that of freedom guided only by love and all in the context of god's radical demand that we be holy.
Christian People Religion
Believers obey christ as the one whom our obedience is accepted by god. believers know all their duties are weak, imperfect, and unable to abide in god's presence. therefore they look to christ as the one who bears the iniquity of their holy things, who adds incense to their prayers, gathers out all the weeds from their duties and makes them acceptable to god.

Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. in this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. in awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.
Opportunity Views Giving
You are awareness. awareness is another name for you. since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. all that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-self. if one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the self.
Giving Up Self Names
A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.
