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?
The psychological mechanism of Projection turns a psychic reality into a spiritual being--projecting "out there, up there" what is "in here." I cannot be the first/only person to figure that out. So, why are we still awash in the hocus-pocus, "Bubba! Help me!" stuff?
Bubba is "in here"! WE are BUBBA! Psychic reality is all we have! It is all we need! It has gotten us where we are! It will get us the rest of the way!
Truth impacts us in one of two ways. In the presence of Truth we either laugh or cry. I'm rolling on the floor, laughing. The joke is on us. We are what we worship and adore. Pander and serve. "We are all we have. We are all we need."
We meet who we are in the emptiness, stillness, silence. We wake up, see, hear, know, understand, who we are, what we are about and what is called for in each situation as it arises, do that, and that is all there is to it.
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.
