Canon balls

Chapter 9

1) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.

2) But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, Say what you wish to say about what she has said. I at least do not believe that the Savior said this. For certainly these teachings are strange ideas.

3) Peter answered and spoke concerning these same things.

4) He questioned them about the Savior: Did He really speak privately with a woman and not openly to us? Are we to turn about and all listen to her? Did He prefer her to us?

5) Then Mary wept and said to Peter, My brother Peter, what do you think? Do you think that I have thought this up myself in my heart, or that I am lying about the Savior?

6) Levi answered and said to Peter, Peter you have always been hot tempered.

7) Now I see you contending against the woman like the adversaries.

8) But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior knows her very well.

9) That is why He loved her more than us. Rather let us be ashamed and put on the perfect Man, and separate as He commanded us and preach the gospel, not laying down any other rule or other law beyond what the Savior said.

10) And when they heard this they began to go forth to proclaim and to preach.

Somos uma pessoa, ou duas? Pensamos e agimos como uma, ou o produto de nossa existência pode ser compreendido por dois lados completamente diferentes? E afinal, temos um, ou dois cérebros?

Nosso cérebro esquerdo é conhecido como o cérebro da lógica, da disciplina, organização, padrões, matemática aplicada, e outros assuntos específicos, exatos. Nosso cérebro direito responde por nossas aspirações abstratas, emoções, expressão artística, matemática espacial e talvez até mesmo nossa percepção da espiritualidade.

Proponho que somos sim uma pessoa. Claro. Mas não posso dizer que a resposta é assim tão simples. A dualidade dentro de nós não pode passar despercebida. E nossas atitudes, respostas, soluções, quando vindas de um cérebro legitimamente livre e bem desenvolvido, irão sempre desvendar a existência de duas pessoas dentro de uma.

Novo Nuevo New Blog

Para muitos, o assunto de seu primeiro blog provavelmente leva grande importancia. Para mi, no es el asunto, pero si el idioma. How can I ever have a blog if I dont even know in what language it will be written?
