dcorbin@clearwire.net BioI am a 76 year old American born male of Dutch ancestry, adopted in infancy. I am probably autistic (asperger's). I am Married, divorced, and remarried for 48 years. I have three chidren. I have worked as preacher, social worker, then 36 years as a sociology instructor, now retired. In later years I have developed an interest in meditation. I am finding the inability to believe in a personal God a challenge for my spiritual process. I need to discover if and how I can be contemplative in the absence of belief in a mysterium tremendum that I can conceptualize. My journal here is my first systematic and public attempt to search out some answers (or not search out some non-answers).
