Dear Ones,
Over the past two days Alan Rayner (British scientist-artist) and I (UU
minister) have co-authored a poem and narrative exposition of that poem.
Both of these articulate an understanding of the partnership of Soul and
Spirit in concrete and cosmic dimensions. These are exploratory writings,
not final products, but they represent our current understanding and
vision. We offer this to you for reflection, use, and dialogue (including
critical and constructive feedback). This framing of Soul and Spirit as
partnering poles in an ongoing dance articulates a new vision of nature
which is jointly (and separately) being expressed by mathematician Lere
Shakunle and mycologist Alan Rayner. The specific Soul-Spirit framing
draws directly on the work of James Hillman, Robert Sardello, and Thomas
Moore and, as well, on the field of Process Theology (or panentheism).
This is a first public attempt to merge these various understandings in a
creative writing venture. We offer them to you as a work-in-progress, but
would ask that you cite us as the source if you choose to use the poem or
narrative exposition. Please be sure to include Lere Shakunle as one of
the three visionaries whose work undergirds this endeavor.
We offer this in hope that it will help deepen understanding of an emerging
philosophical-theological-Sophianic vision.
Sincerely,
Roy
Rev. Roy Reynolds, Interim Minister (Unitarian Universalist)
UU Congregation of Gwinnett, Lawrenceville, GA
