spiritual doe alive
What is common to all paths that are spiritual is, of course, the Spirit-breath, life energy, that is why all true paths are essentially one path, because there is only one Spirit, one breath, one life, one energy in the universe. It belongs to none of us and all of us. We all share it. Spiritually does not make up otherworldly; it renders us more fully alive.
awe
Awe is the beginning of wisdom. Awe is the beginning of education.
patterns cracks awareness
There is no end to the beauty for the person who is aware. Even the cracks between the sidewalk contain geometric patterns of amazing beauty.
letting-go fighting space
Healthy mysticism praises acts of letting go, of being emptied, of getting in touch with the space inside and expanding this until it merges with the space outside. Space meeting space; empty pouring into empty. Births happen from that encounter with emptiness, nothingness. . . . Let us not fight emptiness and nothingness, but allow it to penetrate us even as we penetrate it.
thinking careers television
I'm not saying I want a film career because I think I'm too good for television. I'm simply saying I want more control over my life.
islands space four
I enjoy a four-seasonal climate and wide-open spaces, so being on an island 2,500 miles into the South Pacific made me feel a little claustrophobic.
grace sorrow way
Humor and paradox are often the only ways to respond to life's sorrow with grace.
spiritual journey essentials
Big-heartednes s is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey.
inspirational courage despair
It is precisely the despair of our times that convinces me that a renaissance is right around the corner.
inspirational people coercion
The prophets preach . . . that pleasure, not will-power and coercion, is how you most deeply transform people.
spiritual positive-thinking self-confidence
Faith takes us to deep places, to the ruptures in our self-confidence and our lives. Do not settle for spiritual comfort all the time...Darkness is divine also. Faith is not about positive thinking so much as about what kicks in when we are weak, sick, and short of self-confidence. The via positiva never stands alone. The via negativa is always with us on our faith journey as well.
spiritual pain journey
Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. This is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. But if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. We will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
order awareness should
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
past space creation
Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.
