The Evolutionary Sermon; Closing Barbara Marx Hubbard, Michael Beckwith

 
There is among many of us an ominous fear of failure, a sense that something has gone terribly wrong. Whatever we actually believe, the Old Story of Genesis and the Bible is coded deep in our psyche. It foreshadows the real possibility now of Armageddon or environmental/social collapse. What is the fundamental cause of this crisis? In this first dramatic presentation of "The Cosmic Family Reunion," Hubbard explores the effect of our ancient image of the God of the Old Testament. She imagines a new, transformative sequel to the Old Story, bringing the mythical characters to life as modern archetypes. Eve, an evolutionary woman, writes to the Lord God Yahweh, (as a local creator god of planet Earth) demanding to see him face to face. Father, I have always loved you. I worshipped your magnificence, your creativity, your power, and your vision for your people but you were angry, violent, unpredictable and cruel. We were created in your image and that is the problem. we are all children of a dysfunctional Cosmic Family. She is transported to the Garden and meets with the Lord God Yahweh. As Father and daughter embrace one another in a world changing reunion, he asks her to bring the Cosmic Family home to God. A new plan and a yet unwritten chapter in the Old Story unfold.
