Comments on: The Eucharistic Prayer of John Ruusbroec http://anamchara.com/2009/12/07/the-eucharistic-prayer-of-john-ruusbroec/ The fullness of joy is to behold God in all. — Julian of Norwich Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:33:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ron Krumpos http://anamchara.com/2009/12/07/the-eucharistic-prayer-of-john-ruusbroec/#comment-18064 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:13:21 +0000 http://anamchara.com/?p=2654#comment-18064 One of my favorite quotations of Ruysbroeck is:

“He has created each person’s soul as a living mirror, on which he has impressed the image of his nature. In this way he lives imaged forth in us
and we in him, for our created life is one…with this image and life which
we have eternally in God.”

The soul is the reflection of God, not the mirror of the ego.

Then like the ape in the final Narnia book strives to Shift (the ape’s name) to a false Jesus (one who has realized “Christ consciousness”), a donkey dressed in a dead lion’s skin.

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.’ Colossians 2:16

Free yourself from a philosophy that attempts to defang and de-talon Jesus who is neither tame or safe, but is good. Embrace the true philosophy based on Jesus as the eternal, only begotten incarnate Son of God. The philosophy found in the Nicene Creed and followed by Patrick founder of Celtic Christianity. Be truly Catholic.

Vapid, bloodless, Christless integral spirituality or the flesh and bones of Jesus who appeared to Paul saying “I am Jesus of Nazareth” not “I am universal Christ Consciousness – care to have some?”

Integral theory is a modern Gnosticism that like the old one abhors the unique fleshly incarnation of the eternal Son of God – which according to I John identifies Integralism as a species of anti-Christ.
Eat of Christ’s flesh and drink of his blood. Trust in the utterly, eternally physical Jesus.
