Touching, participating: these are the same. We partake of each other and the in between, which is the eternal, the life. I am the way the truth and the life is not what it seems, a statement of the I am, but instead a definition: the way is not just a way but is the essence of G*d. Life is G*d. What you call truth is a piece of G*d. Touching, participating in G*d are we, when we are subjective: open, part of the whole, integral, essential.

Make time to meet. This is where life is—authenticity, meaning, love.

Goals are a way of calling your whole world, and every one in it, an It.

:- Doug.

Just because you cannot think of G*d as bigger than that, please don’t hold back others who do

If you see God as a man on a throne, fine
If she sees G-d as a principle, fine
If he sees G-d as a field, fine
If another sees G*d as unseeable, fine
If another sees G*d as all we see and cannot see, fine
If one sees G*d as steam, coming up from the ground, fine
If one sees G*d as nothing, fine
And true

:- Doug.

Goal setting is fine for empty things, but authenticity, meaning and love require a You. You fills.

:- Doug.

We go out to meeting, never knowing if anyone will meet us. Yet in the possibility of meeting is hope. Only here do we find love, authenticity, meaning.

:- Doug.

Goal setting is of the It world and seeks to convert You to It. It is something to be numbered, things to be done, Its to organize, Its to be carved as notches in the handle of our revolver.
