I am indebted to Cynthia Bourgeault for her books, Wisdom Jesus, and The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity. In those two books, she offers provocative imagery of Jesus descending into "hell" and witnessing the brokenness there. The witnessing heals. Why? Wounds belong to the separated realms, both in us … Continue reading Holy Saturday: The Archetypal Jouney Into Brokenness

The Eucharist: When the Absolute Overshadows the Relative
Since so much has been written before on the Eucharist, I endeavor to go into different directions than the orthodox, or mainline, understanding. My hope is that my reflection will enhance the mainline meanings as I view them from a "Law of One" lens. If we start from the premise that all is One and that Love expresses … Continue reading The Eucharist: When the Absolute Overshadows the Relative
Towards a Theology of Oneness
Summary of Reflection: The early Christian insistence that Jesus and God's substance was different than that of creation was a three step forwards movement at that time. It was good. Yet now the insistence may be moving towards the two-step back movement with our current scientific understanding of quantum physics and the unity of all things. … Continue reading Towards a Theology of Oneness
Christianity in the Law of One: The Jesus Event

I don't deny that some aspects of the institution that is the Catholic Church, for example, has been complicit in oppression, … Continue reading The Heart of God… Love
One Life, Many Cycles: Reflections on Reincarnation
As a Catholic, we are taught the doctrine of Purgatory. It is a "place" where the soul is "purged" of it sinfulness (refined in the fires of love) so that it can withstand the pure light and love of God. There are some references to it in the Bible and when I saw myself as … Continue reading One Life, Many Cycles: Reflections on Reincarnation
Substituted Love and Atonement
Is there a way to understand Jesus' Passion on the cross as indeed a sacrifice but not as an atonement? Atonement Theology, which necessitates and angry, wrathful God who demands payment for sins, has been a central interpretation of mainstream Christianity for most of its 2000 year history. Is it wrong? In more modern, progressive … Continue reading Substituted Love and Atonement
Christ’s Passion: What RA couldn’t see
Any student of the Law of One who is also a follower of Jesus might find some of the things said about him hard to understand. I'm not an expert on the Law of One nor in Christianity, but I do have an opinion about an important topic regarding the mission of Jesus and his … Continue reading Christ’s Passion: What RA couldn’t see
Everything is distilled to their essence in 3rd Density Earth
What is found on Earth, the good, the horrible, and all levels of consciousness in between are found in all of the universe. For the Creator is all beings and all beings are the Creator, in smaller and smaller holographic manifestations. The Uni-Logos, which is the Logos as the Universe, is alive and Its body … Continue reading Everything is distilled to their essence in 3rd Density Earth
