Twelve Points of Entry
to a constellation of ideas and practices
related to process philosophy and theology
An essay for the day:
Interested in a more open way of thinking and living in the world? A way that partakes of creativity, kindness, and beauty? A way that is good for people, animals, and the Earth; and that can be integrated into your own already-existing or developing philosophy of life? You might be interested in the Open Horizons (Process) approach to life and thought.
The Process approach is more than philosophy; it is a way of thinking, feeling, and living, with a theoretical side, a practical side, and a spiritual side. It is not jealous of other perspectives; it can be combined with them and enriched by them. People who belong to different religions are process thinkers, as are people without any religious affiliation. Asians, Africans, and Latin Americans are process thinkers; as are poets, painters, and pediatricians. The process approach is available to people of all ages. As they incorporate elements of the Open Horizons (Process) way into their lives, they give it life.
This website offers twelve points of entry to the Open Horizon (Process) Way. Click on a theme in the menu that interests you, and you'll find an assortment of short articles related to the theme. Each article has a specific focus. Be exploratory. If one article doesn’t interest you, try another. For an overview, see Process Theology: A Constellation of Ideas or Twenty Key ideas in Process Thinking or A Whole Universe of Stories.
plus Miscellany for the Curious Mind (odd subjects hard to pigeonhole)
