We Often Judge...

 

Michelangelo

We often judge types similar to ourselves, 

as their weaknesses reflect back on us.

You Will Never...

You will never do anything in this world 

without courage. 

It is the greatest quality of the mind 

next to honor.

When Mervyn Wrote...

 

Allison Spencer

When Merrvyn wrote to us or spoke, 

especially in his later years, 

he spoke from his own experience and being. 

These words of his above he lived them, 

he understood. 

It’s really beautiful, 

it was "Living Words". 

When 'the nameless' draws near - 

that is when we 'abandon the system' 

to enjoy the fruitful joys of Mystic life, 

when we return to a lower level 

then we re-engage with the system - 

the foundation that supports our inner spiritual embodiment 

of that which is nameless.

I Was Listening...

 

I was listening to Eckart Tolle today 

and he was doing the sensing the body exercise. 

And he said God is as close to you 

as inside your body. 

And this presence is who we truly are. 

We don’t have to do anything (in a way), 

it is our very essence. 

I loved that reminder from him today. 

It’s already Here. 

It always has been. 

I love to be reminded of this.

Years Ago...

 

Years ago at a retreat in Mexico

 we had an exercise of playing soul songs. 

We were asked to choose a song 

with or without lyrics in advance of the workshop 

and bring a recording. 

At the event many cds were in a box 

and they chosen at random. 

The person whose soul song was chosen 

sat in the middle of the circle 

while their song was played 

and we sat around in a circle with them in presence.

It was a very powerful exercise of presence together. 

Years later I still remember several student choices. 

I wonder if now they would be the same or different? 

Has evolution changed the choice of song? 

It would be something 

we could do at zoom meetings sometimes. 

People could bring along their soul song 

and we could put them in speaker view 

and share in presence with them 

their current soul song. 

If it has changed from years ago, 

they could tell us if they wanted, 

what it was 

and the difference between now and then. 

For those with a new song, 

we could revisit this exercise every couple of years.
