WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION

It has been suggested that I consider presenting my spiritual insights in a more public venue. I have been sharing my inner journey with small groups of fellow travellers for many years, including my years of teaching young people through art.

So, the blog medium seems like a good starting point.

It seems obvious that our world has come to a crossroads in it’s evolution. There have always been serious issues but with a focused effort there was time to correct our course. For example, the issue of littering. People were made aware, laws were passed, wildflowers were planted and the practice of throwing trash out the window became fairly rare. Today we have littered the ocean to such and extreme that some of the essential elements of life on Earth are on the brink of collapse. Now, this blog is not intended to be a forum for environmental or other such issues. Such issues are vitally important for sure but my concern is the spiritual awakening of the individual. With this awakening comes a deep appreciation for life and all that it contains and also a sense of unity with nature and all forms of life. We hear it said, ”All is One”. I’ve always mentally asked, ”But how do you know?” I have found no satisfactory answer to that question in the realm of ideas, concepts or beliefs. And yet ,by turning inward, by entering into the deep silence at the core of my being, I have experienced the truth of that. And as time unfolds ,I meet more and more people who are having the same experience. This direct experience of Unity Consciousness connects us to the source of all existence, thus we cultivate a co-creative relationship with the “Mind of God”. Consequently, we are empowered dramatically to take our unique talents, skills and abilities into the world and apply them to the planetary awakening that is quietly unfolding . Such a process requires going beyond dogma and intellectual concepts. It offers us the challenge and opportunity to dive into the unknown, the great mystery, to awaken to our true nature and to cultivate pure consciousness. So, this turning inward, this awakening within the silent stillness for most of us involves some form of meditation, contemplation or prayer. And these are the main focus of this blog. “How do we experience directly, with the fullness of our being the Mind of God”? I want to share some of my continually evolving answers to that question with anyone interested and I want to provide a forum for those discovering their own answers.

So, this is my intention. It is new for me and will unfold as it will. I want to welcome all who visit here and invite your comments, questions and contributions. I do ask that all viewpoints, traditions and understandings be respected. This project is now and always will be an expression of Love!

May we all awaken in this lifetime!
