Phew. Big month for change and new beginnings. Stay steady and grounded by stepping barefoot on the earth this weekš§
What Iām Reading
A Course In Miracles A channeled spiritual classic. Itās not for everyone, as it uses words heavy with religious history, but the essence is profound if you can see the truth it points to. When I first came to this book years ago, I felt resistance and aversion because of my experience with religion. That shifted when I saw past my own hang-ups and read the words for what theyāre meant to be, as all religious texts are meant to beāsimply pointers. āAll terms are potentially controversial, and those who seek controversy will find it. Yet those who seek clarification will find it as well. They must, however, be willing to overlook controversy, recognizing that it is a defense against truth in the form of a delaying maneuver.ā
I Am That By Maharaj This sits next to my altar and I open it randomly to read a passage every morning.
What Iām Watching
Astrologer Pam Gregoryās videos, very clarifying in this month of generational cosmic shifts, and I love the heart and passion she brings with her wisdom.
Radical Optimism by Patricia Albere Recommended by a friend of mine on this path (thank you, Robert!), a summary of Patriciaās decades-long work and unique take on the awakening path that hit somewhere new within me.
The Big Short My first time seeing this! Great movie, insane story. It felt timely as the cycle that came with this financial crisis is shifting this week.
What Iām Contemplating
āI am a teacher and spiritual practitioner, but above all, I consider myself an artist. My medium is consciousness and the life force, as it manifests through me and through the people with whom I have the privilege of working.ā Patricia Albere
āIf the path before you is clear, youāre probably on someone elseās.ā Carl Jung
āA man willing to die for the truth will get itā Maharaj
āThe purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning.ā A Course In Miracles
āIf you feel like everythingās about to change, thatās because it is.ā Virginia Rosenberg, astrologer
What Iām Listening To
Silence, the birds, the rain
What Iām Using
Rose essential oil - The energy/source behind the things I use is getting increasingly important. I got mine from a sweet woman at a little farmerās market in Costa Rica. Iām sure Etsy has some lovely homemade, natural options.
