Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?
There is reality and there is the experience of reality. And we do not know where one stops and the other starts.
How we think things are and how things are, are not the same thing.
We wander around in a world we create by wandering around.
Everything is our impression of all things. That it ever "works" is always amazing.
"Am I Chung-Zu dreaming I am a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming I am Chung-Zu?"
My recommendation is that we take things with no more seriousness than they deserve, and that we enjoy all that is to be enjoyed as fully as it is capable of being enjoyed, and that we worry about nothing, because we are only making it up, no matter what it is.
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.

OK. This may or may not relate to this post. I was just laughing heartily because I prayed for God (I still address my comments to Psyche as “God”) to just give me guidance on what actions I can take re our current political turmoil. A few minutes later, just before reading your post, I found this to cut and paste into my Actions folder: https://redwine.blue/project2025/

Can’t get more explicit than that, I guess🤔😂.

Coincidence?
Or the power of Psyche at work in our life?
And a wonderful example of how we look and see what we look for more than what we look at.
Our understanding of reality is our expectation of reality, and it seems that we cannot stand apart from ourselves seeing to see ourselves seeing.
