Segment 1 - Proverbs with Chris Morehouse
Verses from Sacred writings
Language barrier - so Chris found 30 different collaborators
concise but with profound/deep insights (in small package)
From Oral to Written tradition
The collaborators brought wide variety of background and connections to the project (tapping "the keepers of the knowledge")
In the end became collection of 300 (or so) African Proverbs that "rhyme/resonate" with Biblical verses/tenants
One eternal Soul - but as exclusion does not mean preclusion (about potential Physical Bodily returns) does Chris feel a potential "reincarnation" connection with this topic/peoples?
Less of a Castle, More of a House!
Chris shows the "Legacy: Wisdom of African Traditions and the Bible" book cover (for those who can see on my (@JLenardDetroit) Video channels BTS/SP video version of this episode)
Chris' book available on eBook and Softcopy - aBook (Audio-Book) version coming soon.
"If You Know What Hurts Yourself, You Know What Hurts Others"
"That Which Is Hateful To You, Do Not Do To Your Neighbor"
20+ versions of "The Golden Rule"
Traditionally recognized as "Proverbs" vs today used everyday "Phrases" (origins, often forgotten)
How does Rick Springfield factor into this episode?
"May as well have missed by a Mile, as by the skin of our teeth" (Book of Job reference?!?!)
Root of all Evil (distortion, twisting of context of 1 Timothy)
Another Musical reference - Triumph (Canadian Rock Group) "Fight The Good Fight" tune
All about perspective and a "positive" Life mindset
Greed (and that "Love Of Money" proper application/concern) Wealth (the Earthly vs Heavenly kinds)
Is it your (Chris') contention that some? many? most? were created knowing the Biblical roots but not wanting to directly Quote the Bible??? or just "happenstance" in similarity?!?!? (Universal Truths)
"Singing Halleluiah everywhere does not prove Piety"
Christianity in Ethiopia (some still contend "Ark Of The Covenant" (wisked out of Jerusalem) is there today)
Real professions of Faith or "putting on airs"
"Time Changer" movie (and retaining connection of Moral precepts to Bible out of concern for Souls, not just Earthly "social interactions" benefit)
Lady Wisdom (expounded upon from the "Karma" portion of the episode discussion)
Building Bridges between Cultures
The African continent (and Pantheism, but recall too Rome (multiple Gods) before Constantine, Greece (all different Greek Gods), etc.)
People sadly can and sometimes do use what intended for good for reasons for violence (Human condition)
