I read the book, Tomorrow’s God, by Neale Donald Walsch, a few years ago, and I picked it up again recently to confirm something that I was writing about. As I started flipping through the pages, I began reading the book once more, from cover to cover. This book contains some dire warnings from God: “Life is functional, adaptable, and sustainable. When it moves toward the edge of functionality –
In many shamanic societies, if you came to a shaman or medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions. When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence? Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort
I saw a post on facebook comparing what happened recently on a beach in Nice, France, with what happens on beaches in Iran. In Nice, men were forcing women to wear less clothing, whereas in Iran, men were forcing women to wear more clothing. The facebook post alluded that it is time that men stopped telling women what they can and can’t wear. I hadn’t previously heard about the burkini,
I had seen this video on facebook yesterday showing a mountain lion outside someone’s sliding glass door, looking in and playing with the cat inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2evD8Jn30pQ I had a dream last night with a similar scene, but the tiger, which had escaped from somewhere, was inside my home looking out the glass door. I went and hid in a bedroom with the sliding wooden door firmly closed behind me. I
We were watching a program last night about the Klu Klux Klan in North Carolina in the 1960s. It amazed me how easily it seemed that so many ‘good’ ‘God-fearing’ people were persuaded to join. But then the program went into a bit more detail about how recruitment was undertaken, and it all seemed to make a lot more sense. First of all, the KKK provided entertainment at huge rallies,
Jon and I went to see Fleetwood Mac in concert during the week. As I waited for the band to come on stage, I was feeling a bit sleepy, and I was wondering whether maybe I was getting a bit old for going to concerts. This feeling lingered at the beginning of the concert, but I also got the feeling that the band was a bit slow to get started,
(Lukas Haas, playing Samuel in Witness) I have been reading a book called Jesus: My Autobiography, by Tina Louise Spalding, which is a channelled book in which Jesus corrects all the misperceptions and false accounts of his life and his teachings that have been perpetuated by the Christian Church. In this book, Jesus advises us to stop watching movies and television programs that involve murder, because that perpetuates our belief
Love your enemies - Kris10 Cartoons “Those who are good the sage treats with goodness. Those who are bad he also treats with goodness because the nature of his being is good.” (Tao Te Ching) “…Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Christian Bible - Matthew 5:44) “Revere your enemies as you revere your parents.” (Buddhism – The Perfect Enlightenment Sutra” “A superior being does not render
I was moved to choose a card from Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards (Doreen Virtue PhD) today for inspiration for my blog. If you have been reading my previous blogs, you will know that I have been studying the book, Nature’s Way – Native Wisdom for Living in Balance with the Earth, by Ed McGaa, Eagle Man, as part of my course in Native American Spirituality at AIHT.
I was thinking this morning that, as I near the age of 60, I am finally just about feeling happy in my own skin. By that, I mean it has taken me nearly 60 years to value myself as an individual and to feel content with who I am, most of the time. I began to wonder if it takes everyone this long, and if our culture fails to instil
