Interrogating the Text

Today at St Mary's Men's group we talked about how to interrogate the text. Today, today especially, we are under so much falsehood put down as truth, inserted in questioning as if it provided a factual context, innuendo, repeating the 'reality' until it does become reality, just enough truth to give falsehood a ring of credibility, enough neon to give the darkness just enough shadow that we think light is really present----this we see and hear daily from the Pravda of ideologues and politicians, the FBI, CNN, NY TIMES, and other outlets of spin. Unless we regularly resist we may one day become unable to recognize reality, when we may be so used to darkness that any real light will hurt our eyes. It will be then only our blindness will lead us. And currents and cliffs will then be irresistible.
