All religion worldwide (Cosmos-wide) throughout the ages is nothing more than collections of collections of projections of projections. Religion is projection. Religion is based on theology and theology is a collection of projections. “Revealed truth” is imagined truth, is Projected “truth.” Which has to be “taken on faith” because it has no actual, tangible, real,Continue reading “April 17- B, 2026”

Religions everywhere throughout time have all been grounded upon and expressive of the projections of those who created the religions. Religion is projection. As is practically everything else. We experience something internally and explain it by using a vocabulary based on external experiences. A volcano explodes and we explain it as the anger of theContinue reading “April 16, 2026”

The God Beams are the aspects of ordinary, everyday, reality that announce the presence of–the absolute truth of God in ways incapable of being experienced, understood, known in any other way. We know there is a God because we know of God through all these ways. These are the moments that are transparent to transcendenceContinue reading “April 07, 2026”

Yesterday, here, I put to rest the doctrine of Original Sin and the need for the Substitutionary Theory of the Atonement, or any need for atonement as a way of helping God get over the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, which never existed at any time anywhere in the historyContinue reading “January 22, 2026”

I’m Jim Dollar and I’m here to help people find their life and live it in a “Who am I and what am I about?” kind of way. I spent 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., serving congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina, and picking up pointers along the way.Continue reading “January 14, 2025”

This is #40 of “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #1” blog on WordPress: In the New Testament, we get to pick our God, and there is a wide variety from which to choose. I’m going with the God who is like the prodigal son’s father: “You were lost and now you are found!Continue reading “December 26, 2025”

The Woman on a Black Horse is my metaphor for my Intuition, the Psyche-Psychic source and center of my being. What’s yours? With this statement and this question, I am reforming religion as we know it and making it more personal and more reflective, meditative, mindful, vibrant and alive than the religion I am replacingContinue reading “November 25, 2025”

You know Jesus’ instructions to “Pray always”? He was talking about creating a regular, on-going, uninterrupted conscious presence with our Psyche. Psyche is that which has always been called “God,”–especially before theology, doctrine, heaven and hell, etc. Which is to say, before the Church of Rome invented theology, doctrine, heaven and hell, etc. in theContinue reading “November 24, 2025”

When I threw out theology all those years ago, I had to replace it with something that could serve as the core ground of existence, the “rock solid foundation” of who we are and what we are about, the Source of Life and Being. Initially, I referred to the bedrock of all that is “ThatContinue reading “November 18, 2025”

There is the God of theology, and there is “That Which Has Always Been Called God” beyond theology.Theology was invented by the Church of Rome over the 400 years between Jesus’ execution and the closing of the Canon which ended the amount of material that could be included in the Bible. The Church of RomeContinue reading “October 29, 2025”

The line between “Reformer” and “Heretic” is too fine to be seen. It doesn’t exist. It all depends on how we see what we look at. Jesus was a reformer who was executed as a heretic by the Romans at the request of Caiphas, the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. And the doctrinesContinue reading “October 24, 2025”
