05-07-23 Divination and Divinization (MM)
Jesus casts out the demons from the possessed. He allows them to enter the swine. All these pigs rush into the sea of Galilee and drown themselves. Why? Perhaps they prefer death to demonic possession. A possible route toward that is curiosity about divination, the seeking of knowledge by communication with spirits, who turn out to be demons. We ask rather for a quelling of curiosity and the beautiful indwelling of the Trinity, which is no less than the divinization of the child of God.
