THE WHOLLY OTHER

The Lord is the Wholly Other and I agree that He is totally different from me in terms of perspective. The things I uphold, my ideals and values are not His values and ideals. He is completely different from my worldview and I am thankful that He is nothing like me. He is not subject to my ego, to how I want things to be, to my opinion, to what I defend. He is Le Tout Autre. I have come to the end of myself, I have despised my thoughts, the words I speak, the values I defend; I have seen that these things are relevant only to me; they are not objective. I have included my prejudices in my beliefs and I hold an opinion of the world, which is proper to me, and which is subjective.
