The contents of the Bible were not closed until late in the fourth century.

According to Martin Palmer’s translation of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, “The path that can be discerned as a path is not a reliable path.” We can find the path that is a reliable path only in hindsight.

I have nursed a recent realization into being: God is a psychic reality, not a spiritual being. Which means, of course, that we are God. We bring God to life, or not, in the way we live. We don’t “believe,” we DO! Or, do-not. And it is not great and grand things that we needContinue reading “July 07, 2025”

God is a psychic reality, not a spiritual being.God is a psychic presence,not “God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.”God is present on earth in and through us.What God does,God does through us.We are the arms and legs,hands and feet of God.Prayer aligns us with God,and should be thought of as silent communionandContinue reading “July 06, 2025”
