All Roads May Lead To Rome But Many UU Pathways In Google Lead To The Emerson Avenger Blog. . .

Just saying, as they say. :-)

*Some* person of inherent worth and dignity from the UUA aka Unitarian Universalist Association Of Congregations made their way here via the Pathways UU Google route earlier today.

Hi,

I just read about your revelation.

The "eye" you mention is a symbol of the Caodai religion, a religion quite similar to unitarianism. In Caodai , revelation through the spirit is seen as important.

Perhaps you got a caodai-like revelation.

Similarities between your revelation and ideas perhaps make you a "western" caodai prophet.

link for a study of similarities between Caodai and Unitarianism:

Hope it will help you in your spiritual path ...

Thank you for your comment regarding Cao Dai. I have been aware of Cao Dai for about 13 years. I was first told about this comparatively recently created Vietnamese religion by former Montreal Gazette religion columnist Harvey Shepherd, who later joined the Unitarian Church of Montreal. In the late spring or early summer of 1998, soon after I began my peaceful public protest against the anti-religious intolerance and bigotry that I had encountered at the Unitarian Church of Montreal, a small delegation from the Cao Dai temple in Montreal showed up in front of the Unitarian Church of Montreal to invite me to visit their temple. They had seen a good 5 minute television news report about my protest on CTV. I did visit the Cao Dai temple soon afterwards but nothing really "gelled". As much as I was quite willing to share my revelation about the symbolic "Eye of God" that is perceivable during the total phase of total solar eclipses with them I saw little or no reason to become a "caodai prophet" as you put it. I had some difficulties with certain aspects of their religious dogma, just as I had had difficulty believing the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.

In light of the fact that a Unitarian Universalist minister expressed *appreciation" for my "prophetic work" and more recently wrote to me saying -

"Your persistence is a ministry."

I dare say that I have found my "spiritual path" as a Unitarian "prophet of doom" à la Jeremiah and Isaiah et al. . . ;-) I must get around to writing a Jeremiad for the U*U World.

Allah prochaine,

Robin Edgar
