Comments on: A Pastor’s Perspective on Being LOST in a Metaphysical Universe… (SPOILER)

More and more people are posing the idea that “it’s time to let go” (Rose) signaled the moment Jack (and everyone aboard) died – coinciding with Jack’s death in the alter-universe on the island (Jack dying on the ground).

That’s pretty powerful – and meaningful. I relate to Jack – hyper-controlled of my surroundings, my life, destiny, trying to hyper-manage every aspect of life. Letting go is when destiny re-aligned itself – and in my scheme, God was allowed back in.

@Jay Johnson that last episode (Grey's) was a doozy in itself...

Don’t watch Lost, though sometimes am – but Grey’s Anatomy is a different story. It is so everyday and in your face with the pastoral issues of “normal” life, lust, success and falling short.

@Anson yeah I wanted to throw "nominalism" out there but that's still a text-book definition for me. I need to understand really what it means for myself... kinda like Lost.

Didn’t we just took a whole semester of History of Doctrine together?
I’m sure Hans made it very clear to us what led to the loss of this mystical/sacramental worldview

Right now I just feel like there’s so much to chew on. I’m waiting for the Blu-ray boxset to come out and perhaps re-read my notes from doctrine, world religions, and CTC.

Not to mention some of the strong themes of
1. reunion (personal eschatology – and the possibility of being all together again!)
2. building a new society
