Meet Your Guide
Mark Johnson is a writer, retired scientist, and life enthusiast who grew up on a farm near Greeley, Colorado.
While a young teen, he was twice rewarded $5 by his mother for reading the entirety of the Bible. This left him with a deep sense of God's presence but also questioning the nature of God, revelations, and miracles.
While these questions simmered in his mind, Mark earned a Bachelor of Arts in zoology and a Ph.D. in experimental statistics. One night, a few years later while reading George Meade's Mind, Self, and Society, his questions faded in a revelatory moment that totally reoriented his sense of self.
Strangely, he was only given the means to share this new orientation in rather traditional bits and pieces until he began to see the treatment of fact and feeling as fundamental to the distinctions of science, art, religion, and philosophy. When the courtship letters of his religious parents surfaced, he found in their desire to witness to their faith and love the springboard by which to broadly and coherently express the universal understandings flowing out of that revelatory moment. This website is his attempt to share those understandings via a guided series of excursions among the truth galaxies in which you live.
Deciding which excursions to take is somewhat like deciding how best to experience the Grand Canyon. You can fly over the galaxies to get a quick view, observe some notable truth galaxies and constellations, or raft down the personal truth galaxies you and your friends are forming.
Mark and Martha (his soulmate, best friend and wife) have enjoyed rafting down the personal truth galaxies they are forming and the marital galaxy they begin birthing once they met in graduate school. He also enjoys reading and writing, singing and cycling, golfing with friends, and puttering around the yard and shop. Feel free to email him at mark@OurTruthGalaxies.com.
