About Me

My photo
I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

The Core of US

Posted by Don Paine

What is the core value we embrace?

At the core of my being there are two driving forces that create polarity but intend to create or propel community, cooperation and collaboration.

There is the human-self with the drive to lust or long for control over others and the fear of the loss of control or domination and oppression of others.

There is the divine or Spirit-Self that has no agenda but to be with all and in all with compassion, courage,  creativity and calmness.

When the needs and desires, the fears and threats dominate we are in chaos confusion and conflict.

When the peace and love of the core dominate there is self-control, self awareness, self-clarity and other respectfulness.  Balance and harmony in any system perpetuates community in the system.

The core value I embrace is balance and harmony inside and living from that balance and harmony a life of love and peace in the world.

Regardless of anything I want and purpose to live not the my purpose driven life but the release driven life.

The Jesus way.  We are more us than me.  Jesus is with us to make us more one than many.  Father may they be one as you and are are one was his prayer.

They will be done. Amen
