Wow. I am an avid reader but have rarely come across an author that has condensed so much into so little. Every sentence is filled with energy and resonates from the page. Its hard to keep up with and more difficult to respond too. But thanks to Cecile for unpacking and restating!
Going back a day or so in the readings, Panikkar says, " Christophany does not pretend to offer a universal paradigm..." but "does off an image of Christ that all people are capable of believing in..." and that "the meeting with Christ is irreducible to a simple doctrinal or intellectual approach."
I am experiencing in Panikkar a continual softening of those area of my life where I was conditioned to hold things more rigidly or pressed down into a little box. Panikkar opens the box and lays it flat allowing greater movement, phania (manifestation) and experience of the very ingredients formerly contained in the little box but now is open to the movement of the Spirit, creating a greater "mystical vision" and at least cracking the third eye to open, even if just slightly! lol.
