Psyche, Tao, Intuition have always been and always will be. Settling in with them for the long haul is all it takes to have what it takes to do what needs to be done. That’s what emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) is for. We meet up with Psyche, Tao, Intuition in emptiness, stillness, silence when we open ourselves to its presence and relax into its wisdom and grace. We feel Psyche, Tao, Intuition–we do not think them. We are one with them, like we are one with ourselves. They are who we are. The same goes with God and Jesus. When we ask theology to leave the room, there are us, God, Jesus, Psyche, Tao, Intuition–all are one. The visible and the invisible. No thinking, only knowing. No logic and reason. Just realizing, sensing, experiencing the is and the now. We are not alone and there is no one here but us, now. Knowing that is being that, is the essence of life and being. We are consciousness being aware of itself.

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.
