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 Politics of Polarities

Posted by Don Paine

I listened to the democrats adn the republicans and while I have opinions about the ingenuity and creativity of each the looming question of integrity is unanswered.  Who can I trust?

As the extremest posture and positioning fades in the toxic poison of campaign rhetoric, belief in one or the other is a choice and as such an act of faith.

Polarities exist in our world everywhere and in everything and with everyone.  In the medium of earth between the North and South pole where win those extreme places few live, there is warmth and life of many kinds.  Just north of the equator is the cradle of civilization.  That which holds civilization together is the ideas that as a community we can live and move with greater cooperation and collaboration with beneficence toward and from all.

So the line from former President Bill Clinton, "we can do more working together than on our own" resonates as a global and universal truth.  "Working together we can make a more perfect union"!

What stands in the way of your working together with people around you to make your world a better place?  Ask those parts that are in the way to step aside and make a way!  That is your choice.
