What the missionaries were trying to destroy, she affirms. What the natives could not comprehend, she explains. What neither could grasp, she reveals. She purifies the native religions of the need for human sacrifice, but equally calls the Church itself to conversion by offering love and compassion instead of cruel punishment and eternal damnation\u2014which was the common Christian preaching of that time. She invited both the native people and the Church to a profound conversion to something new, and as such gave birth to both the new Church and the new humanity of the continent.\u00a0 \u2013Out of the Guadalupe-Juan Diego-Bishop Zum\u00e1rraga encounter, the new Church is born\u2014not a mere continuation of the old Church of Europe or merely a Christian veneer over old native religious practices, but a new Church born of the biological, cultural, linguistic, religious and spiritual encounter of the so-called Old World and New World.

This fundamental unity of physics and biology\u00a0has indeed inspired a lot of people who felt that here was the key to unlocking the mystery of the living state. But as Szent-Gyorgi remarked then, and it is still largely the case now, biochemistry and molecular biology do not address such questions.

How the energy plucked originally from the sun is translated so very efficiently into various forms of work &#8211;\u00a0 chemical, mechanical, electrical and osmotic &#8211; and in organizing matter into the splendid diversity of organisms in the biosphere.

This creative activity of the Divine is called lila, the play of God, and the world is seen as the stage of the divine play. Like most of Hindu mythology, the myth of lila has a strong magical flavour. Brahman is the great magician who transforms himself into the world and then performs this feat with his \u2018magic creative power\u2019, which is the original meaning of maya in the Rig Veda. The word maya &#8211; one of the most important terms in Indian philosophy &#8211; has changed its meaning over the centuries. From the might, or power, of the divine actor and magician, it came to signify the psychological state of anybody under the spell of the magic play. As long as we confuse the myriad forms of the divine lila with reality, without perceiving the unity of Brahman underlying all these forms, we are under the spell of maya. (&#8230;) In the Hindu view of nature, then, all forms are relative, fluid and ever-changing maya, conjured up by the great magician of the divine play. The world of maya changes continuously, because the divine lila is a rhythmic, dynamic play. The dynamic force of the play is karma, important concept of Indian thought. Karma means \u2019action\u2019. It is the active principle of the play, the total universe in action, where everything is dynamically connected with everything else. In the words of the Gita Karma is the force of creation, wherefrom all things have their life. \u2014<em>Fritjof Capra, The Tao of Physics (1975)<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"text\" align=\"left\"><strong><em>limbic syatem\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>&#8211; where emtotions are seated.

Love is not even really a feeling, as that word is usually understood. It is a state of being, of surrender, of perfect faith, that transcends and can empower all feelings. Love is giving up any sense of separation, from any part of oneself, from other human beings, from the natural world and from the spiritual realms. Love is eternal and also being born every moment. At bottom, all true spiritual instructions are aimed at helping us step into this eternal moment of love. If we try to push ourselves to love, we may only heighten our sense of separation and division. But, as awakening matures, we naturally allow our wall of fearful separation to dissolve and fall away. Then, rather than making an effort to love, we perceive that love is our true nature. \u00a0Loving our neighbor is not something that we do in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.
