Conversion Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Conversion

Rating: 5.0


The person emerges from a smaller
limited world of existence
into a larger world of being.

His life becomes swallowed up
in a larger whole.
All conversion entails the constant
remaking of the field of consciousness,
an alteration in the self's attitude to the world.

Conversion is often a sudden, intense
joyous perception of God, immanent
in the universe; of the divine beauty
and unutterable splendor of a larger life,
wherein the individual is immersed.

He begins a new life lived by the self
in accordance with this now new
dominant fact of existence.

yes, tony! it is NOT adherence or mental assent to doctrinal statements but a change of being. it is, from my understanding, what is intended in the new testament by being born again. oh that this were more widely understood! particularly by those who call themselves christians and are known mainly for what they hate. appreciating how, as a christian, you discuss the real and universal phenomena of consciousness, glen
