My most startling revelation was the gender of
my soul (if I may use a vernacular and
not altogether accurate term). I, a male, embrace a feminine soul. Perhaps,
that is what science is alluding to when marking the male as having xy
chromosomes and the female with yy. The soul may be universally feminine.
12.
Hence, the truth of the myth of the mother
goddess—less myth than self-realization at the most basic level.
13.
The suppression of the feminine, whether in
society or in oneself, can only lead to a man’s spiritual demise. The outward
act has an inward consequence.
14.
“Creation” is by definition dependent upon its
“creator.” It cannot exist apart. There is nothing that the creation can draw
upon for knowledge, inspiration, motivation, other than the creator.
15.
One might say that the creation is the
embodiment of the creator.
16.
We as “Creatures” are inseparable from our
creator. We are made of the same stuff.

Wesley’s Theory of Relativity: The universe, as
we generally perceive it, is in constant motion. The chair on which I sit, sits
on a floor that is part of the surface of a globe spinning on its axis. In
addition, that globe revolves around another, spinning on its axis and
revolving around its own orbital anchor. That can only mean that there is never
a “here,” for the “here that I was only a moment ago is now “there.” Attached
to my spinning revolving globe, I am constantly moving away.
18.
I can only say “here” with meaning relative to other things that are moving
at roughly the same speed and in the same direction that I am, i.e. I am
“here,” five feet from that chair “there.”
19.
Not only are our various planets and suns and
stars in motion, but the vary space that surrounds us/them is also in motion.
20. The
true secret of travel is to stay still. If one could remain “here”—even for the
most instantaneous perception of time—time itself would disappear. The motion
of everything else would bring all the cosmos “here” and “now.”
Editor’s Note: I
thought for a while Wesley was contradicting himself when he said that all
things occupy the same space at the same time (8) and then launched into this
“Theory of Relativity.” Then he gets back to all things being “here and now.”
Wesley had a unique way of embracing contradictions and not even acknowledging
they existed.
