Response to Kohl's solicitation letter. Lear's letter talks about things he would pack for his "spiritual journey": words of Jesus, memories of individuals he's loved in a Christian way, religious writings of George Bernard Shaw and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He believes nothing in the world is an accident and sees God's will in scientific theories of the beginnings of the universe, and evolutionary improvements allowing Man to help God's plan along. He sees ultimate perfection coming in the future. Lear also comments on his notion of "spiritual currents."
