I retain the title “Peter &
Paul” (my new historical novel) for this blog because, on closer examination,
Peter and Paul represent two different approaches regarding our reality. The
book, of course, discusses this in much greater detail. Here, however, I might
mention that the principal difference between P&P is how they regard the
world we live in, and the ensuing consequences. And make no mistake about it,
there are consequences.
We must begin by deciding if the
world (the physical reality) is something into which we were “dropped” by the
gods (Elohim is Hebrew by Gods (also “objects of worship” — note: plural in
both cases), or if we are the
creators of the world we live in (Ye are gods).
Depending on which (biblical or
any other) model we espouse to navigate the vicissitudes of our lives, the
choice we make will affect our reality for… eternity? Even if, ultimately,
there is but one reality. Enigma?
