It’s been a number of years since I’ve been engaged with our community on a weekly basis. I didn’t realize how meaningful it would be for me to hear from you and to have an opportunity to explore spirituality with you in this way, once again. In a sense, I feel like a child who […]
As I’ve been sitting with you and rest of the community in mediation and embodied resonance this week, one question keeps coming up to the forefront: What’s important to you in your spiritual journey right now? I would love to hear from you—what’s important to you right now in your spiritual journey? Reply by submitting […]
Is there a pressing question in your life right now? Do you wonder how God will answer your question? Maybe you wonder how you’ll know if it’s a divine answer, or if it’s an answer you’ve manufactured? *** I used to be quite preoccupied with the answers to life’s fundamental questions. I remember receiving my […]
How does God’s call in your life reveal itself to you? Do you receive a vision? Do you feel pulled towards certain actions? Does it come as a movie or an image of what is to come, or what you’re to do next? Do deposits of knowledge come in without any foreknowledge or action on […]
I remember being excited to visit my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins, when I was a kid. Every August, we got into our 1969 Volvo and headed off from Iowa to California. Some years the Cassidys would rent a house on the beach in Santa Cruz, and that was the center of our focus […]
I’ve been thinking about you and the rest of our growing community, and remembering back to one aspect of its origin, which took place 12 years ago today, when Lin David Martin wrote on a piece of paper (at a meditation retreat where we were both participants): ‘You should be working as a healer.’ I […]
What role do your thoughts play in creating your reality? This question fascinates me. I wonder what it means to imagine wholeness. Can we imagine it? Can we think our wholeness into existence? Most people think that thoughts have a primary role in creating reality. I agree to a point. But after an invisible line […]
Do you journal? I do . . . sort of. I’ve noticed I tend to journal when I’m upset, feeling challenged, or unsure. But if everything is in the flow, I generally don’t. This past weekend I had occasion to journal because I got a couple of emails from members of our community. Their emails […]
My oldest daughter, Emma, turned 17 towards the beginning of February. She’s been going through some big inner developmental work, and the awareness and conversations that have come out of this have been challenging, enlightening, and inspiring for me as a parent, and a spiritual messenger. I’ve shared with Emma the four stages of consciousness […]
You may not know it, but I sit with you and every other member of our community each morning spiritually. Most mornings it’s around 7a Mountain. Some days it’s earlier, some days, later. In some ways, the two hours that follow are the most sacred of my day. It’s my writing time. As I have […]
