Parable of The Light

We are the mountain and the echo inside of us is from thee.

Thanks Matanahair

A blogger by the nickname 'matanahair' reminded us on this.

Student A: How did all this started?

Facilitator B: God said to Abraham, “look towards the heaven and number the stars and so shall your descendants be. But Abraham’s wife, Sarah , wasn’t getting any younger and God wasn’t coming through on His promise. She is getting nervous. So she sent Abraham to the bed with her maid, Hagar. And Abraham and Hagar had Ishmael.

Facilitator B: And not long after they did, God kept his promise to Sarah and Abraham, and Sarah had Isaac. And Sarah said to Abraham, “cast out this slave woman with his son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

And so, it began. The Jews, the son of Isaac, the Arabs, the son of Ishmael. But what most people find important to remember is that in the end, 2 sons came together to bury their father. And most people do remember the whole thing took place about 7.3 million years ago.
