Yesterday this time I was on my way to have breakfast with retired colleagues. We had a good group of close to ten people and a lively conversation. Early in the aft John and I had a coffee. He was quite enthused about his trip to Orlando, where he took in several days of presentations on computer security.

'I am on a mission and live in The Mission District’ so I can’t get away from it:-)!

During the day and evening I was preoccupied with what I call my study of a religious view for our time. In it, I aim at incorporating handed down traditions and science based information. Sometimes such sessions of contemplation are fruitful, while at other time they can be unsatisfactory.
However, as I said this morning to myself: ‘I am on a mission and live in The Mission District’ so I can’t get away from it:-)!

Last Sunday’s attendance for Herman’s talk at the Palliser was two (2) hearers, to wit Leila and myself. So, I increased my contribution on an impulse which I know will help. Jack let me know that Vangie is recovering in from an operation and I gave Larry a call to see how he is doing.

Our group has varied health concerns as we age and I find in this, that old age has its own learning process reminding me of the time I grew up! Now I am learning to leave life, while back then I learned entering it! This confirms my view that all human experience is valid experience and though not all of it is welcome or pleasant, it can be quite revealing.

This completes my life philosophy lesson for the day. The sun is shining and inviting me for a walk and stroll. Walking also helps me in clearing up my thinking and I have made good use of that for decades. So, I may just head out right now and leave the writing for later.

9:59am resuming after my walk and coffee at Savour, where I made the following notes in my ‘Silk Road‘ slender Coptic bound notebook:

P.135B at 9:20am after my walk at savour:
From last night:
The (my) personal journey on gaining knowledge about reincarnation:
1.Eigen weg [own way]; 2. Emotional Independence; 3. Peeling the Onion (of emotions); 4. Integration.
This gives access to recalling past life experience. This prevents old life’s emotions interrupting this life. To page 130.

P.130, Next: A social/collective aspect.
. Continuity of Existenc.
. Continuity of Conscious Awareness.
Recall of personal lives fits in with continuity of Existence & Consciousness.
. Awareness of the interconnectedness requires the ability to distinguish between my own conscious experience and the affect of that [which] is not my own. This // [parallels] the recall of past lives.

Here follows the future drawn square with annotation, which will be inserted from file to be made titled: ‘The Square of Interconnectedness‘.

Here follows a drawn square with annotation, which will be inserted from file to be made titled: ‘The Square of interconnectedness‘. It juxtaposes the personal with past lives up and down, with Collective and Other existence side ways.

This state of interconnectedness is a state for humanity to acquire through the practice of life in the body and the knowing of life in the spirit. “Two states, one existence”. [p.131] This has a parallel in the nature state of Jesus Christ theology: ‘Wholly Divine, wholly human, two natures united in one person‘.

This is symbolic of what the human objective is. TheChristian manner in which the ‘Two states, one Existence’ of the square [of interconnectedness] can be achieved.<9:40am.
End of the Savour notes, now at 10:28am.

So, from the above notes it is evident that my extended walk along the Elbow River ordered the associations in my brain in a productive and concise manner, which will still need some elaboration. However, I now have a well focussed statement with which I can work.
