There is no separation of sacred and secular. This is a myth. All is sacred because all is God's.
The illusion of this separation is where evil ideologies such as separation of church and state derive. Government without conscience and compassion is oppressive. Conscience is the essence of spirit, of life and of God. Unfortunately, the state has been forced to censor and regulate the domain of the church because so much of the church has lost its conscience and has become detached from our compassion. We are instead insistent upon justifying hate through sermonic propaganda and seem to have taken a perpetual anti-everyone and everything stance toward things we consider to be "non-Christian."
All power and authority comes from God, the Origin and Source of power. Separation transpired because religious tyrants, egocentric small men and women, could not wear their God-given power lightly, empathetically and synergistically.
All influence, even that given in this physical dimension, is granted by the Creator. What men do with that influence demonstrates their level of connectedness to and consciousness of the God who grants that influence, power and authority. All things are from God. Nothing exists without the Word of God (Christ) creatively speaking it into existence. |
