Changes

I entered college where I focused upon the study of [[Existential Philosophy]], and during the course of my visits to experimental learning laboratories, discovered the healing power of [[music]] in a child who when exposed to certain tones, spoke for the first time after being born mute. During this first college year, amidst what little leisure time I found for browsing the [[Vanderbilt Divinity School]] Library, I discovered the [[Urantia Papers]], and there began their study while simultaneously beginning the practice of a Hindu form of [[meditation]].

It was little surprise that I considered a monastic vocation and oriented myself accordingly, but I found unsatisfying the atheistic theology of the ‘[[death of God’ movement]], then dominant in many of the more influential universities, and it was only after being exposed to the reality of mindal connections indigenous to the presence of what I now recognize as our [[Universe Mother Spirit]] during a conversation with friends, that I undertook a devotion to [[attunement]] which required my departure from formal studies.

For several years afterwards, I satisfied myself living in a rural environment, focused upon attunement and study while supporting myself laboring in a horticultural nursery. I thought then that it was best to avoid marriage even while I prayed for the healing of the many homes in this world, torn much as my native family had been. As God and my dear grandparents through whom he worked to heal my shattered heart would have it though, I came to understand that if my prayer for the families of this world were to be answered, I would have to join him accepting the challenge of [[human]] love introduced to me in the form of my beloved wife of 29 years now with whom I have given two children into the adventure of navigating the sea of love, [[human]] and [[divine]].
