Carver’s Gap 11-B — Roan Mountain Highlands, Carver’s Gap, Tennessee

Scientists have observed particles emerging from empty space (Googleit). Particles attract particles, circumstances beget circumstances, give it enough time, and here we are. No creation, no “plan of salvation,” no fall, no redemption, no being lost, no being saved… It’s all projection, imagination, made up, fabricated, like ghosts and goblins, heaven and hell. “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted or transformed.” And one way energy can be transformed is into matter. The material universe comes from the immaterial universe. Over long stretches of time.

It has always been known by indigenous peoples everywhere that the visible, physical, world is grounded upon the foundation of the invisible, spiritual world. Spiritual is not found in the doctrines and dogmas, the Dharma and sutra’s, but in the realization of what we know without being told anything. Enlightenment and realization are the same thing. Just as intuition and Psyche are the same experience. When we are experiencing intuition, we are experiencing Psyche. Living in light of, out of, at one with our intuition is as spiritual as it gets. Ask Jesus, or the Buddha.

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.
