Doing the Will of God


How do we 'do' the will of God?

Simply by sharing the
inner life with him;
allowing the fruit of this union to blossom as it will.

Illusions of Certainty


The need for sure words from God stem from spiritual lethargy seeking certainty in apparently chaotic options. Here revelatory texts are most effective in maintaining reliance upon external authorities as the dependence upon “a sure word from God” shows little if any tolerance for ambiguity, and manifests a rigidity that is a most salient feature of mechanized cognition.

Revelation: Seen & Unseen


The purpose of any revelation of God is to increase the capacity to experience love, receiving and giving such as readily as we inhale and exhale. Alas, the inclination to embrace any single 'revelation' while rejecting truths revealed in others is a habit worn throughout milennia of isolation, just such practice that is gradually yielding to the increased spiritual pressure to come forth from this bondage. Otherwise, the sure test of authenticity of any purported spiritual gift is not made in the machinations of mind but in the soulful demonstration of a life dominated by love.

Science: Fiction & Fact


We see the 'fiction' science inspires in one day,
morphs readily into scientific 'fact' the next day,
by the labor of sincere and sustained inquiry.

Sovereignty


Sovereignty is evolving as it is older than any 'Days' and younger than the next child uttering '"we".


It grows in a field of open inquiry where philosophy is seen to thrive and theology so often withers.
