Wed, July 20, 2005 - 7:35 PMBecome passers-by. I find a world of Gnostic thought in this small phrase. I find it very similar to the phrase "disinterested compassion", which is something I try to cultivate in my own life. Both phrases remind me not to over identify with what I see around me. They also remind me not to fragment my mind by attaching myself to everything I see.

Mon, December 18, 2006 - 11:23 PMSomething interesting that I researched a bit was that this word hapiru/habiru, meant to indicate the parasocial, problematic group referred to in the Amarna documents and so forth, also widely believed to have been one and the same with the Hebrews, could also be translated as "passers-by"...that makes Jesus' benediction somewhat more rooted in his tradition, somehow...
