Dear Ones -

First, the Ordinary Life Christmas party is this Friday night. See the Ordinary Life website for details. click here.

Second, Jan Phillips who was with us in January 2023, has a new book out. It would make a wonderful Christmas gift for yourself or someone else. Though it won’t be available until mid-January, you can order it now on Amazon. I’ve been privileged to see the first hundred pages and it is a treasure trove of quotes, musings, and amazing photographs. It is titled “Stop Seeking, Start Finding: A Book of Hours for Spiritual Evolutionaries.” I’ve ordered my copy. click here.

As for this week’s teaching, I called it

Unlearning and Unknowing

There are two ways to deal with any position one takes, including a religious one: the way of explanation or the way of exploration. I am teaching the way of exploration. There is no one true faith or path into the heart of Sacred Mystery. There is only the way of compassion and justice. We will likely have to unlearn things in order to get to the truth that the things we learned were trying to teach when they were first formulated. The teaching ends with a comparison of the birth narratives in Matthew and Like.

That’s a brief summary.

The audio/video versions of the talk has some differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and links to the audio and video version of the talk using the links below.
