Notes

  • Author note: The Gospel of John has Jesus aligning himself radically (and inclusively?) with the great affirmation of Hebraic tradition in which God is represented as saying to Moses at Mount Horeb: I am. I am The One Who Is (Exodus 3). The religious language of certain people (across a range of traditions) has predisposed them to acts of invasion and violence, to the extent that their language expresses exclusivity and possessiveness. In various traditions there remains an experience that flows far deeper than language. Originating, some would argue, on the subcontinent of India, this transformative experience is one of realizing or recognizing the sacred identity of each individual I am within the ultimate I Am.
