The magic of sound
My dear friends...
In discussing The Holy Experience in this Weekly Bulletin we have explored many approaches, including, most recently, the aspect of life that I have called “non-awareness.” Last week in the Bulletin I offered a vivid “real life” explanation of this phenomenon. If you missed that edition of this publication, I hope you will find a way a to go back and take a look at it.
Today I would like to embark on an expansion of The Five Tools of...
Stepping out of the drama
My dear friends...
I said here last week that attaining a state of Non-Awareness is about the shift from the Mind to the Soul—which knows all about the Tightrope of Life...as well as what is awaiting us on The Other Side. It knows that we can make it across the span without difficulty if we simply don’t look down. It knows that in God’s Kingdom, “everything is looking up.”
It also knows that on this tightrope, as in most circuses, it’s okay if you fall....
Don’t look down
My dear friends...
Becoming Aware of Non-Awareness
My dear friends...
As you know, we have been discussing here the moments in life that I have called The Holy Experience. And in last week’s installment I said that there are ten instruments by which any person may have such an experience. I said that the Ten Instruments are divided into two types: Physical Tools (described fully in the preceding chapter) and Spiritual Tools (which I will describe here). I have alternately called these two types The Five Tools of Awareness, and The Five...
Explaining explaining
My dear friends...
Last week we continued our exploration of The Holy Experience by focusing on the fifth tool with which we can achieve this, the tool of explaining. This is when we explain to others what we have come to understand as a result of using the first four tools.
We continue our look at that tool this week.
It has been said that we teach what we choose to learn. I choose to learn more and more about how the Universe works, about Divinity and the Essence of all of life, about...
Be the Source
My dear friends...
As you know, we have been embarked across this past year on a wonderful journey here in the Weekly Bulletin, exploring what I have called The Holy Experience.
We interrupted that series of articles for some special observations over the holidays—notations from within the Conversations with God experience about Christmas and New Year’s.
This week in this space we return to our look at The Holy Experience. As you know if you have been reading along, we have...
Give up 'future-izing'
My dear friends...
I would like to share with you today a big secret...
Declaring that you are having The Holy Experience right now requires that you refuse to step into Tomorrow before Tomorrow comes. This means that we must give up our habit of "future-izing."
Future-izing is a common human trait. All people look into the future, their own future in particular, and begin to construct realities around that. They imagine what is going to happen and how it is going to happen--and,...
Step out of Yesterday
My dear friends...
I want to say a few more on Awareness, before I move to this week's exploration...
Awareness is a very, very important aspect of Life. I think it's an important quality to nurture and to grow. If we can grow in Awareness, I think that we grow in one of the most vital ways. I think that Awareness is Vitality. I think it is Spiritual Vitality. I think that one is "spiritually vital" when one is Aware---and I think that when one is Aware one becomes "spiritually vital."...
Where to from here?
My dear friends...
Well, I did it. I wrote “2022” for the first time on a check the other day. Somehow, for me, that makes it official. And, unlike some other years, when I’d make a mistake the first few times I had to write the date, this time I had no trouble at all remembering to write two-zero-two-TWO. I was so happy that Old Year was over!
It’s been a tough year for that, hasn’t it? A tough year. A long year. A year of challenge, for sure. Some people...
If every night was New Year’s Eve
My dear friends...
And so we begin another year. Another cycle in the continuous circling of the Earth around the Sun. Another passage of the Body, Mind, and Soul through the Labyrinth of Life.
And as we end the latest of these rotations and begin again yet another, every thinking person must ask, “What is the point of this? Are we truly just going round in circles, pretending that our elliptical course is a straight line actually going somewhere? Is there any kind of purpose or...
