Organized religion has always denounced
and despised expressions of our intrinsic intuition. 

The early Gnostics were persecuted 
as heretics,
hunted down,
murdered, 
burned at the stake, 
tortured,
and tormented
because of their "secret knowledge."

They listened to their intuition
and gave it equal status 
with revealed truth.

It should be given higher status,
unless we understand "revealed truth"
to be revealed to our intuition
through meditation and reflection,
or mere recognition and realization.

Is intuition God within,
or is God our intuitive projection
of the "Holy Other" without?

Projection or revelation?

Where is the pen that can draw
a line that fine?

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
