A Newsletter for Your Spiritual Nature
Communicating people's worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.
Our spiritual nature is to hope and dream and visualize and to connect to our purpose in life. It’s the trigger that motivates us to encounter, discover, create, and synthesize meaning, purpose and values in our lives and to seek a greater good. It enables us to access unconscious aspects of the self and to embed these higher meanings, values, and purposes in living a richer and more creative life. It makes us whole, and gives us our integrity. It helps us ask fundamental questions and reframe our answers. It transforms us.
Let the sound of heart-filled stillness ring throughout the world, cut through the confusion and call us to our highest!
— Joe Weston
Let Go, Let God - SPIRITUAL SURRENDER EMPOWERS ME.
Sometimes I’ve done all I can do and said all I can say. When I have exhausted all options and find myself without remedy, comfort, or resolution, I may feel frustrated, defeated, or even brokenhearted.
At times when all hope feels lost, I find my strength and power in surrender. Letting go and letting God is an act of trust and faith. It’s the belief that even in my bleakest moments, the presence of God is within me and all around me.
I think of the chasm between the pain of Jesus’ crucifixion and the promise of his resurrection, when his followers were left only with their faith to sustain them. During my longest nights, I call upon the faith they demonstrated as I accept the darkness and prepare to welcome the dawn.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.—Matthew 28:20
Quakers. During their worship service they sit silent for long periods of time to make way for direct conversation with the Holy Spirit, and the reception of an inner light.
— Doris Grumbach in Fifty Days of Solitude by Doris Grumbach
To Practice This Thought:
Visit a Quaker service to experience the benefits of group silence.
Jesus says “Yes, you did this to me, as you do it to each other, and here I am undergoing this, occupying the space of it happening, but I’m doing so without being embittered or resentful. In fact, I was keen to occupy this space so as to try to get across to you that I am not only utterly alive, but that I am utterly loving. There is nothing you can do, no amount of evil that you can do to each other, that will be able to stop my loving you, nothing you can do to separate yourselves from me. Jesus dies “for” us not in the sense of “a substitute for us” but “in solidarity with” the suffering of all humanity since the beginning of time! On the cross, the veil between the Holy and the unholy is torn and the “curtain of his body” becomes a “living opening”. We all can enter the Holy of Holies, which is the very heart of God. Nothing changed in heaven on Good Friday, but everything potentially changed on earth!
May peace fill your life so love will overflow,
Rev Robert
There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.
