Tree by the Side of the Road
We have been one with Psyche from the beginning. Psyche is not other than we are, but is one with us from the start.

When Jesus said, "The Father and I are one," he created a stir at the very idea. But if he had said, "The Psyche and I are one," everyone would say, "Of course! The same goes for all of us!"

The Psyche is one with us, but we don't make much of it. It doesn't mean a thing to us. We dismiss, discount, ignore this fundamental fact of life, in a "So what? Who cares? What difference does it make?" kind of way.

Nothing could change our life for the better smoother and quicker than being one with the Psyche who is one with us.

Psyche is life, and is one with all of life.
Psyche is the Life Force, the power that leads and guides us all the way along the way. The Tao. That Which Knows and directs our life throughout our life--when we listen and are moved to do what we know is called for, but which we ignore because it does not jive with our ideas and desires for the life we want to live.

Look around. This is what ignoring Psyche looks like. And it gets worse the longer we play the game of Dissing Psyche all day every day.

Patching things up with Psyche is no more difficult than dropping into the emptiness, stillness and silence, saying, "Here I am. Now what?" And meaning every word--and listening for what is called for here, now, and doing what we know needs to be done, starting here, now.

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.
