If we are going to see the FRUIT of living a ‘Christos life” as Jesus did, then we’re going to have to come out from the shadows and darkness of our human thinking and step into the light of the Spirit or Consciousness. We will have to shed the weights that keep us LAW-bound. Jesus was and IS the Light and though we see through a glass dimly, we can brighten and lighten our life by moving deeper into the things of the Spirit- of which we ARE.

There’s nothing new in what I’m about to write but it is nonetheless earth shaking; transformational in the highest degree! We are ONE! The earth, the solar system, the universe and beyond. It all has but ONE DESIGNER (God, Father, Consciousness, Spirit, etc.). The problems that we face here on earth are because of our lack of respect for people who have ideas different than ours. And that runs the gamut from political and theological ideas to the value of life itself. Continue reading ‘Community Caring & Living’
I’m venturing into waters that will cause a lot of anger, just the opposite of what God and Jesus ae all about. How is it that we can say that GOD IS LOVE and then be so un-loving, mean-spirited, and downright hateful people? Tell me, how does that work, how does that line up with the teaching of Jesus? It lines up in part because many have been taught that God KILLED JESUS! Continue reading ‘God Didn’t Kill Jesus!’
Ron Corzine shares his sense that the universal and local church must get back to the foundational teaching of Christ which is to spend ourselves for others. Peter didn’t want Jesus to wash his feet for it would mean he needed to do the same. Are you SERVING?
I’ve escaped for the moment and that’s enough for now. The temperature is 48 degress, the humidity is less than 50%, the moon is full, and the fire box that I sit beside is just enough to keep my warm. And then there’s the song on my iPhone, Spirit Lake. Whatever this afternoon no longer is because I have left my mind and journeyed within to the I AM that is- always. Continue reading ‘Prison Of The Mind’
That lead caption probably sounds about as crazy as Jesus asking a sick person if they’d like to get well. Duh! I know of many people, myself included who have prayed prayers that we really didn’t want to: prayers that we cringed as we said them. They were immediately followed by a prayer for mercy, love, grace, etc. I’m still working on enhancing my success in prayer, but here are some helpful hints. Continue reading ‘Do You Want Your Prayers Answered?’
We spirit beings who have been taught we’re more humanoids than spirit have unconsciously applied the same mistake to God. Instead of seeing God as “the Spirit”, we envison HIM (of course He is a MALE) as sort of a super male, Superman, applying all the anthropomorphic traits that we can muster. Is there any wonder our PRAYERS find “little” (and for many it would be NONE) success? Continue reading ‘God Isn’t A Man!’
Metaphors “R” Us! If you’re a Christian or spiritualist of any sort (and we are know it or not), the BEST we can do in talking about Father-Consciousness is with metaphors. There’s as many dangers in the metaphorical approach as therer is in the literalist conclusions ( I think). One area where we’ve gone astray is in the potter and the clay. Daniel’s feet of iron and clay, etc. Continue reading ‘Feet Of Clay?’
We do that you know. We live in denial a lot too. We are all inculturated in some fashion or another. Our parents brought us into the world under a set of conditions that started us on our journey somewhere. The geographical location of our childhood, the kids we knew, the school we went to, and then the church experiences we encountered set up belief systems that sent us into the world we mentally live in today. Continue reading ‘Believe What You Want!’
Pre-Birth Wisdom!
We are Spirit-Consciousness! My definition of Spirit or Consciousness (I use them interchangably depending upon the nature of the progresiveness of the audience I am addressing) is the “eternal, timeless, and immaterial essence of all humanity that originated in God, preceding birth and surviving death“. Think about it. But, I want to address the preceding birth paradigm for now. Continue reading ‘Pre-Birth Wisdom!’
