The Garden of Eden did not exist. Adam and Eve are not real people. The story is about the danger of wanting the wrong things, of caring about things that do not matter. It is a great story. And terrible theology. All theology is terrible. Theology is a collection of opinions about hearsay. There isContinue reading “October 16, 2025 – B”

How well we live is how well we respond to our environment–how well we do what is called for in each situation as it arises. We live to do well with our life.

Experience is required to know/understand/comprehend. It cannot be said, told, explained, defined… Psyche is leading us to knowing throughout our life.

I’m thinking Psyche is something all life shares/has in common. All living things are one in this way. Consciousness is more or less aware of that connection.

Each situation has its own direction and flow that has to be recognized and taken into account. Forcing action that is not conducive to the situation as a whole creates a disturbance in the flow that has impact and implications for the balance and harmony and wellbeing of the here, now and the not yetContinue reading “August 16, 2025”

The best thing we can do for ourselvesis to be quiet in a routine and regular way.When Jesus said, “Pray always,” he meant, “Live out of the silence.”In the silence, we are in the presence of What Has Always Been Called “God.” The silence is the bridge between worlds–the world of conscious reality and theContinue reading “July, 2025”
