Gene Marshall is about to publish his 'magnum opus' ...
by Ken Fisher 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Soon to be released: The Enigma of Consciousness A philosophy of profound humanness and religion by Gene Marshall Colleagues of Consciousness & Care: In his 81st year, Gene Marshall is about to publish his 'magnum opus' "The Enigma of Consciousness". It is a revolutionary statement. I have just listened to his 25 minute 'tour' - the link is found below, as is the table of contents. In reading chapter drafts, my own attention was especially drawn to this example of Gene's original thought on the three approaches to consciousness: -the 'it' approach; the bottomless mystery encountered in the edges of any and all scientific enquiry -the 'I' approach; grace in the depths in individual artistic, literary and spirit expression -the 'we' approach; the inclusive compassion experienced in collective celebration and care In Gene's words: "Here is an interesting discovery I have seen nowhere else: When the "It" approach to truth is pushed to its fullness we encounter the 'Almighty Mystery'. When the "I" approach to truth is pushed to it fullness we find the 'Holy Spirit'. When the "We" approach to truth is pushed to its fullness we enter the 'Body of Christ'." This book is about what we affectionately entitled 'The New Religious Mode'. It's complement on 'The New Social Vehicle' is available under the title "The Road from Empire to Eco-Democracy". Gene is amongst the very first to use the term 'eco-democracy' substantively. I will follow this up with a notice of availability for purchase at a later date. Ken Dear Colleagues, With Maryellen Greulich's help I have been able to put a 25 minute talk about this book on the Realistic Living web site. This talk is an overview of the whole book that may help you see more clearly why it might be worth your time to slug your way through the 35 chapters of this book. Here is how you can access this talk. Go to RealisticLiving.org and click the link 'Enigma' that you will see there. Your responses to this talk might open some conversation and perhaps help me learn how to involve more people in this important conversation. Gene Gene Marshall <jgmarshall(a)cableone.net>

A response to Bishop Coyner by Bud Tillinghast » UMC Connnections
by George Holcombe 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Our colleague, Bud Tillinghast, a UMC clergy, (he's on this list serve) responds to a Bishop's attack on the Western Jurisdiction of the UMC for contesting the latest General Conference decision to continue their prejudice against Gays and Lesbians. For those not up to speed on this - the United Methodist Church's continued policies against Homosexuality is being challenged. Several churches around the country have for some time declined to follow the denomination's line by being known as Reconciling congregations. Recently a retired Bishop has questioned the church's position. There have been demonstrations at several General Conferences and efforts to turn the position around including letter signings and efforts to get Annual conferences to take a stand, which a few have. This is the first time a whole Jurisdiction has made a statement, and a powerful defense of it by Bud. It was published in an official publication of the church. I hope you take time to read it. George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr. Austin, TX 78728 Mobile 512/252-2756 geowanda(a)earthlink.net Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it. It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is absolutely nothing to justify any hope? ~Joseph W.
