And I would add, though perhaps redundant, that when we become more integrated, our spirituality is also our life, our life style, our total beingness. This essence of grace is evident in all our interactions, in all manner of our presence in the world.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432640322896933989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574234.post-1126882830331436922005-09-16T10:00:00.000-05:002005-09-16T10:00:00.000-05:00"For the first time, I'm beginning to feel the fre..."For the first time, I'm beginning to feel the freedom of having an organized and simpler life." <BR/><BR/>"I find that the more I develop and bring consciousness into the other areas of my life, the greater peace and space I find to BE and develop both spiritually and as a WHOLE being."<BR/><BR/>Trevor,<BR/><BR/>Blessings on your insight and freedom... yes, it does happen, even when we are 'thinkin' otherwise.<BR/><BR/>As 'old-soul' friends, I know little about you and yet I know, from looking into your eyes and being in your presence that you have a special role to play in the unfolding of Spirit in this world. Be it through your music, your work, your love for your wife and daughter... you will, you are letting God's light shine through you- as you.<BR/><BR/>This rippling outward of peace and clarity does come as a surprise sometimes...but you have asked and searched, and now you are becoming the answers to your questions and that which you sought. Your writing, your creativity- it has found you and you are blessed to live the words, "seek, and you will find."<BR/><BR/>I, for one, am blessed to know you. Your writing, your presence here, my meeting you and Amy- have enrichened my experience. I know there are many, many others who feel the same as me. Isn't this what it's all about, anyway- finding, sharing, and embracing the best in each other while on our journey? We also need to make room and embrace those things about ourselves and others that are in progress- aren't complete yet.<BR/><BR/>Yes, evolution.... learning to feel comfortable in the process...because it is all in Divine Order.isaiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704507894213178186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574234.post-1126848161913109892005-09-16T00:22:00.000-05:002005-09-16T00:22:00.000-05:00Oh, that's what panentheism is all about. God is i...Oh, that's what panentheism is all about. God is in all of this: Every face you see, every check you write, every tooth you brush, every tire you kick. <BR/><BR/>This is the playing field. As you learn to live through your Buddhamind, you will experience that samsara is Nirvana, and the Kingdom is right here, nowhere else; there is nowhere else to go. <BR/><BR/>Yet to say I identify with the clutter/procrastination catch is an understatement!
