I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about what is it that they are feeling and how is what they are feeling somehow distinct from Christ in Gethsemane and the passion.
And is it distinct from that?
Because some of the people that, I've only met a couple of people that are somewhat saintly and they were not Christian.
They were people in India like that.
And what I mean by saintly, and I recognize that, you know, we probably better off relying on a dictionary than me when it comes to what words mean.
But for me, what saintly means is I sort of sense from them an eminence that's not human, kind of similar to the word genius, in fact.
When we say genius, are we not really saying, where did that even come from?
Whether it's George Best playing football or Mozart or whatever it is, a person can't just sit down and do that.
That's God.
It's the presence of God.
Yeah.
in a culture that no longer reveres or even accepts or acknowledges God, then you're further down this road of individual expressionism being the highest principle, which is actually satanic.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
And I suppose the Amma, the Hugging Saint, Amma is her name.
She's known as, colloquially, if there were another way, I don't know it, the Hugging Saint.
She, Indian peasant lady from a fishing village in Kerala, say...
And this lady, Amma, a lot of people were there down with her.
Now, the fishing village that she's from, where at the age 17, she would go into delirious altered states, eyes rolling back, wandering around, assuming, what's that, ululating, like, you know, all kind of crazy stuff.
All the people in the village, understandably, thought she was a crack pot.
