Silly question

Silly question time: If G*d is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, when did G*d stop creating?

Not to be solved

We still have an attitude in our business culture of Me boss, you employee, ugh! rather than What good can we do, together? This has spilled over to our general culture, and so we expect the expert from afar to come in and solve us. We are people: not to be solved but to get to work, together.

Imagination asking

Who are you? is the question for our imagination to ask when we meet some one.

good out from the inside

Opening space is not about a facilitator but about you. It is not about bringing something in from the outside, but good out from the inside.

How do you participate in evolution? How shall we?

Imagining the real

Imagining the real
an we bring something to being
with our minds alone?
as if imagining were done with minds alone!
as if imagining and the real were different things!
but can we see it larger than we have seen it before?
larger than it has ever been?
we see the real, hear its rhythms
—can we, imagining the real—
touch, taste, smell any essences?
so imagining together, we give birth

Give us permission

What if we do need permission to act as children of G*d? What if you’re the one who can give us that permission today? What do you say?

What if we could come up with a new image for our relationship with terrorism? Is not war the image the terrorist thrusts upon us? Do we have to accept that image? Are there perhaps images of turning, working with, teaching, or some other that might be better?

When is a verb a noun?

When is a verb a noun?
When you are calling it that
When is G*d a verb?
Not when you are calling him that

The unfolding

Our work is inviting persons to the unfolding.

The peripatetic teacher

G*d is the peripatetic teacher, facing us, demanding of us a decision to throw our lives into the ring, then turning and walking away, beckoning us to come to a new place. A respiration: in to intimacy with Being, out to transcendence of Becoming.

What did Jesus do?

What did Jesus do? He healed and he ate with everyone. We may not be able to restore a cut off ear, but we can help get out hearing aids to people, and we might help people hear the voice of the upward call in their lives. We might even listen for it ourselves. We can eat with others, befriend the hungry, homeless and those in prison.

What is the between?

What is the between? It arises, and before that it is potential. Can we recognize it both times? Is it in fact more potential when arising?

What is the unfolding we seek?

What is the unfolding we seek? What does evolution look like, on the ground, in feet and hands and noses? First: to encourage the inborn Thou to meet others often, regularly, and as the normal stuff of life. Second: poor and hungry persons meeting together to improve life in this place for other people.

Getting conscious about doing evolution

It is necessary for us to get conscious about doing evolution.

There is a Thou inborn

There is a Thou inborn in each of us who wants—desperately—to be met. From here comes our primal need to be heard. We must connect with others. Mizpah coins, epic lovers, and yin and yang have nothing on us, because for us to be wholly who we are requires us to fit with beyond finite numbers of others in uncountable dimensions. We must become more conscious about it.

Two people must turn

One reason conversation is difficult is that two people must turn: remove shields and masks, and open. One alone can encourage the other, but meeting eventually requires at least two.

Transcendence and immanence can be in one person

Transcendence and immanence can be in one person
because meeting and intimacy can be in one person

Immanence and transcendence are both presence

Transcendence speaks to our hearts
serving the purpose of calling us higher
reminding us there is more and we can be more
Immanence—intimacy—reminds us we are here
meeting us at home with our clutter and comfort
Immanence and transcendence are both presence

:- Doug.
