As a Father's Day gift to God, let's read more than one book—or vow to read the one we have more carefully. All the evidence that it’s time to stop blindly accepting other people's answers and start asking our own questions is right there.
What a difference an "R" makes
I received an email the other day with the most intriguing subject line: “Are you revolving or evolving?” It occurred to me that many of us don’t know the huge difference that an “r” can make:The concept of evolving is a bit “woo-woo” to most of us. It’s that spirituality thing. We tend to shy... Continue Reading →
Puttin’ a hurtin’ on ourselves
Our egos can only take us where we agree to go. Our egos don't want us to remember one vitally important fact: At the end of the day, we will not be accountable for what others did to us--only what we did to them. And so we agree to forget.
Evolving, revolving: What a difference an “R” makes
Taking responsibility for your life and your outcomes is as simple as asking: "Why did I create this? Why did I attract this person? What is the lesson my soul wants me to learn from this situation or this person?" Your path is unique and so is your mission and your lessons. Those who claim that they can tell you how to live a better life in five, eight or ten easy steps are not guiding you in an evolutionary way. They don't hold your answers.
Solving problems by killing people: A Divine idea?
Weren’t we just talking about abortion—and judgment and condemnation—last week? How ironic is it that today a judgmental, condemning human pranced himself into a church and executed a physician who performed abortions. Where’d this guy get the idea to solve problems by killing people? And why did he choose the church to stage this drama?What’s... Continue Reading →
Solving problems by killing people: Divine?
Murders shock and revile us. But they never seem to stop. Where did these people get the idea that we should solve problems by killing people? Scripture tells us the appropriate way to respond to behavior that’s disagreeable to us. See if you know the correct answers: 1. How should you respond if your kids... Continue Reading →
In Memoriam: Life as we once knew it
I watched in wonder as the debate over Notre Dame’s invitation for the President of these United States to speak at this year’s commencement hit a fever pitch of judgmental rhetoric—led by those who call themselves Christians. Fascinating stuff.Maybe I’ve been watching the drama on Earth from too far away. I’ve obviously lost the ability... Continue Reading →
In Memoriam: Life as we once knew it
What does Life look like at birth? At death? Can you describe it? Have you ever thought about it? Have you considered the possibility that we have made the words “life” and “body” synonymous?
"We have met the enemy, and he is us"
Many of you think that the Loud Mouth sits in the balcony alone. Actually, I have plenty of company. Your souls are here, watching all your dramas with me. In fact, some of them are putting on quite a show themselves: They are screaming frantically, arms flailing, trying to grab your attention and warn you... Continue Reading →
We have met the enemy, and he is us
Throughout the ages there have been many souls who have maintained Job-like belief and trust in an Almighty God, and they have been willing to teach us so that we can speed along our evolutionary path without succumbing to our egos, which like to detour frequently and wrestle with the Darkness. Thanks to social networking in the Beliefnet community, I was blessed to meet one of these teachers.
