The Soul, The Natural World, and What Is

Fr. Richard 's recent contact with the teaching of Bill Plotkin has re-convinced him of his own Franciscan and creation based spirituality. Could it be true that the deepest patterns of truth "Are there for the mind to see in the things that God has made"? (Romans 1:20). The Cosmic Christ and creation itself are giving us very similar messages, if only we can be taught how to see!

Richard shows the crucial importance for each person to encounter their deepest self, their soul: that which was there before anything else and is one's "blueprint in God, what you were born for." You don't have to figure it out, to do it right, you just have to wake up each day and listen. Our primary tasks is to encounter our soul, awaken it, and trust it. He encourages you to see the importance of recovering your deep, soul- connection with created nature, to which we all radically belong.
