All Roads Lead to Rome

My spiritual journey has proven to me over and over that when the student is ready the teacher will appear to take them to the next step. We have to study and grow to be ready but we also have to allow it to happen. We have to go through the balancing process of learning and resting and be OK doing both.

What Is Christ Consciousness? Higher Consciousness?

Christ consciousness has been called higher consciousness, yoga calls it super consciousness, the Gurdjieff call it objective consciousness, Buddhic consciousness in Theosophy, cosmic consciousness or god consciousness in Surism and Hinduism and Christ consciousness is primarily used in new thought non religious spiritual terms. Christ consciousness is considered an awareness that comes from within of all knowledge and truth that is known or knowable. This awareness is not dependent on time and space and not of this physical reality.

Knowledge Is No More Slanted by Faith Than Wisdom Is Slanted By Intelligence

Finding Spirituality To Find Balance In Life

Your spiritual side needs as much nurturing as your body or your mind. Generally, we’re more aware that our body is getting out of shape or that our mind needs some stimulation, but it is more difficult to determine when your spirit is lacking and what to do about it.

Road-Tripping With God

Sometimes, the familiar question that our kids ask of us is the same one we ask of God. Like little children, sitting in the back seat of God’s van, we ride along wondering when the journey will be over. I don’t mean death. I mean the lessons we’re learning.

Worlds Apart – The Spirit and the Flesh

It must’ve been heartrending for Jesus that many of his “disciples” turned away from him, choosing the way of the flesh in presentation of the Spirit (John 6:66). He was not torn for personal hurt but for the folly of their attitudes – the easy hard way of their choice, to go down intentionally to Sheol.

What A Difference A Perception Makes

One day without thinking, I bent down as I walked to the car and pulled a weed. On the way back into the house, I pulled a few more. Within a few weeks, my yard was free of weeds.

What good is it when the lights won’t come on since you haven’t had the money to pay the electric bill, or you are afraid that your child won’t recover from an illness, or the loneliness of the day is only exceeded by the loneliness of the night? What good is the spiritual perception statement, “Divine Love is my shepherd I shall not want” when all that appears during your daily life is “want”?

Unsolvable Illusions

Once in a while it hits me. Life is simple, we make it complicated, and then I forget, and make it complicated again. But in those brief shining moments it is brilliantly evident that what we know and experience is all perception and that the answer to everything lies in this premise.
