Confucism/ Altered states.

 I have decided to split this blog in half and cover two topics.  The first one is in Confucism. I don't know too much on the philosophies other than the fact that they where developed in the ancient Hog dynasty. But from what i have grasped int the first chapter, Confucius believed in the magic of proclamation. That's pretty much all of that.

I want to continue our Conversation on altered states of cautiousness. I believe There is a lot to be said in terms of what has been accomplished in human history because of these discoveries. as for it being a human trait I think that is a far stretch due to the fact that ewe are still referring to harmful and life threatening drugs. but what do you think.

Jesus wrap up !

I hope everyone is enjoying their vacation!

I wanted to focus this blog on the epilogue of the book. The author really makes me appreciate The "reconstructed historical Jesus" There's a section on page 220 that talks about how Jesus is crucifixion was more of a political execution and that it was predicted amongst the people I wanted to know if anyone could Think of a person that society will politically execute today that perform similar to the ones in the stories told about Jesus.

The author also discusses in the section "The One Who did Not go Away" how there will always be a divergent of "historical Jesus" to distract us from social powers and imperialistic control.  I'm also curious to know if that is true, then what is the modern day Jesus? Could it be technology? social media, disease, doctors scientist, Celebrities?

Our Oral society

In today's class, we had a conversation about what it means to live in a Oral society. We discussed how difficult it is for some people to navigate or function without a technology with the example of people having issues of giving directions to their homes without a GPS. I connected this in my mind to how the gospels may have changed or not even existed had the technology of today been available to philosophers of Jesus time(s). It also made me thing about how much of a negative effect that this has on Our current society. We are missing out on so much historical documentation because we rely less on the journey and work that goes into finding these documents. Have we stop  the development s of the evolution in the gospels? I'm curious to know if anyone feels this way or even disagrees.
