About Yourself

have a very unquiet mind,was crowded as a child as subject of physical abuse form both parents(the only of my siblings) reason not known.Father was a lay pastor I questioned all as always all and every thing each time so the spirit within grew with a "knowing" same as self. Paul Tillich would urge this method of examination as an effort to define a self with an "ontic" self affirmation as a being of GOD as I self affirmed the "me" of my "I'.I have no recall of not seeing "as spirits" all manner of actors around me. I do not crown some spiritual some non. Is like referring to that--or this as dryer or wet when the question is always an ongoing relationship of the alike and non-like kind. Back to not being rule bound.Was labeled brain damaged and not college material--was stressful. Allowed to take no math, science, physics etc.yet always knew was to become a physician. Which I did without have the foundations as grounding. While I did not know that I was so doing --while doing so could if the problem needed the answer could do square roots/quibe roots (sic) in my head. And for reasons knew how to do that which I was never taught. In fact could teach a subject when very new-have a B.S. M.S. M.D., J.D. and a certification in Psychiatry. To speak of spiritual "interests--as though of some "units" of measure--do not or can not so do. Units unknown-same source-Yes a creator-a visionary Pan-wisdom is all ambient and plural as multi-valance. Said exchanges and interchanges to create and re-create. May I assert that for me-am ill-focused or subject to broad.

Your Teachers and/or Spiritual Sources of Inspiration

I can not name a teacher-when byway of fear one rejects one's father/mother--to require self learning is same as survival. I have read in a wide range--Buber, Tillich, Cammos (sic)Boenhoffer,(spelling not a strong suit)Abe Lincoln,Whitman, Robert Frost, Christ --and on and on-a sister--she three months when she died-I was age nine "Cynthia"is in all ways-and always with me--within me--I think if I label one/some as teachers-inspired as focused ---seems a feeling of the "rule minded" I am not-and never from a place of disregard--seems to define a "locus" shows a limit before, ahead and surrounding all--all ranges and inter relationships foster/demand a new synthesis--a renewal of a recreation
