SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: What does bringing together spiritual heritage with the passion of the social activist mean to you? What is a practical test to check that we are actually seeing an integrated view, as opposed to just thinking about it? Can you share a personal story of a time when the two blended for you?
During the session last night, a 7 year old girl made some aat there was room on the ther comments that I think were extraordinary for her age.My hats off to her parents for starting her on this path at such a tender age. Secondly, I was sitting on the floor in the hallway instead of.on sofa as usual, because I had to leave early. . Many people came over to me and told me that there was room on the sofa. They were obviously concerned about my comfort. Caring about each other is the hallmark of the Wed Circle sessions.
Working on writing and networking with regard to both of these and the reality that we sometimes get "stuck" with tradition beliefs, core beliefs that are taught generation after generation. Bridging the gap between what we may have been taught, or are teaching our children and the opportunities we possess as human beings to explore our very personal Spiritual evolutions. It's a very exciting and as you've expressed, a critically important responsibility for all of us to insure the Love and Awareness are not exploitive or some sort of elitist idea. This misses the mark entirely, in my opinion. And those who are currently "in the business" of such exploitive realms continue to await the truths they claim to posses. Love is inclusive by nature and does not survive unexpressed. Stacy A. Rich
Thanks for this very timely article which is thoughtful, and thought provoking; it is right on target..
The three levels of integrated way of thinking and living presented in this inspiring writing is very close to me, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. I am practicing this way of living, growing and developing as a member of my extended family and the community I serve. My experience is creating and sustaining light of hope in the midst of growing darkness. We need to join hands lovingly and empathetically with others at all levels and in different contexts of our lives. I feel passionately about living and working this way and I feel and see the beginning of the coming together of the three interconnected levels stated in this thought provoking writing. It is good to have such wise people in our lives.
With gratitude,
