Please don’t wear your politics on our bumper: a teenager’s plea

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:16 pm By Molly Wingate

When I was driving my sons to soccer practice and to their games, they preferred to keep my politics under wraps. Read more

Being Awake When a “Moment of Truth” Arrives

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:13 pm By Robert Atkinson

There are moments that come into our lives that are meant to turn us in the direction our life is meant to go in. We all have our own “moment of truth” experiences that define or change the course of our lives forever. This is when, as Jung might say, a timeless, universal archetype buried within our unconscious bubbles up to our consciousness, giving us the opportunity to see something vitally important to us in a completely different and deeper...

What Does the Concept of Resurrection Really Mean?

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:12 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

Now that I’m done with my rant on Good Friday that ruffled a trillion feathers, here’s my gentler take on the liturgical season of Easter and Resurrection. The paradoxical nature of it all is this: vibrant new life and possibilities are born of death, dissolution, and dust. Just think of the one supernova explosion that occurred billions of years ago, spewing out dust, gases, and elements that would one day become our solar system and eventually the precise conditions for the...

“Don’t Be Sad. We Are Connected, Always Connected.”

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:07 pm By Nancy Raines

Floating lightly to my left, Cathy’s spirit was like a golden orb imprinted with her beaming face. Light as breath she hovered, waiting for me to notice her. It had been a month since my beloved sister’s death from leukemia at age 59, and I had sensed her presence on several occasions, and had even been able to communicate with her. Each day I sat down to meditate hoping to be with her and, almost always, I was rewarded by... Read more

Of Roses and Reiki

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:09 pm By Sarah Lawrence Hinson

Planting roses I realize that the very act is part of my spiritual awakening on the journey of Reiki, a type of energy work I have never been attracted to before. I also use the vision of a crystal rose bowl in my aura when working with spirit. The wisdom is within! Read more

Simple Living Is The Perfect Antidote To Mindless Consumerism.

Last updated on: March 20, 2016 at 5:40 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

In the aftermath of 9/11, President George W. Bush urged Americans not to be intimidated by the “war on terror,” but to get back to our lives of shopping, flying and “business as usual.” The dubious wisdom of this directive aside, it seems to me that the average American consumer doesn’t need much encouragement. Take our annual “Black Friday” extravaganza. Who is fueling whose agenda? In 2014, store profits peaked around $50.9 billion –an 11 percent dip from the previous year. Last year’s profits dipped...

It All Begins With The Call To Adventure

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 8:54 pm By Robert Atkinson

None of the great stories, myths, fairy tales, or sacred stories would get anywhere without the timeless and universal archetype that moves the lead character beyond whatever the status quo is, or whatever the new crisis happens to be. Our own stories carry the same archetype, as well. We have our unique stories (like no one else’s), our group stories (like some others), and then we have our universal story (like all others) in which we share the same elements... Read more

Good Friday and Why I’m Over It

Last updated on: March 22, 2016 at 11:07 am By Gerard A. Murphy

Here’s the thing: we’re all familiar with the brutality and violence of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of The Christ from 2004. Some are still reeling and traumatized by the bloody flick. Thank God there’s been nothing quite like it since. My take: It’s Good Friday; bring out the hot cross buns and let’s party! Not to celebrate death but a life authentically lived out of Love. The Christ Consciousness Spiritual Master I believe in, who spent a stint in Palestine to wake us... Read more

Considering our Soul Purpose, or Soul Purposes

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 8:45 pm By Sarah Lawrence Hinson

Discussion of the Power Question 'What is my Soul Purpose?' Many of us on the spiritual journey find ourselves on the path precisely because there is some kind of hole in our soul. We sense that there is something missing, something greater, something more and we know it is 'there'...if we can just reach out and find a way to touch it, connect with it. Read more
