Who’s on First? “Who” is on First!

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Becoming a Spiritual Seeker can originate from one of two ways – either from outside circumstances, such as pain, failure, humiliation, or profound powerlessness or hopelessness, a brokenness that leads to surrender.  Or from within – a call, deep sense of dissatisfaction, feeling of emptiness, or desire for ‘something more’ that can’t be named or described.  Both paths spring from a sense of lack, and recognition that we don’t know the solution. Some Souls are more stubborn then others, demanding … Continue reading →

Language of the Heart

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Last week I rediscovered the magic of speaking the Language of the Heart.  Coupled with Keeping it Green, I sought to be present to myself, to tell on myself, to describe my inward condition.  Yesterday’s spiritual insight was sufficient for that day, but not for the moment I was in – I sought to connect with my innermost self, to express myself, and felt in that moment the link-up with others in the room. In Quaker practice during Meeting for … Continue reading →

Joy as our New GPS!

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Every time one of us pays attention to the Spirit of Love & Joy, we enter a new destination into our internal GPS.  Once entered, we open ourselves to a continuous flow of course corrections from Spirit. Similar to when we key in an unknown destination into our phone, we trust that Siri won’t let us down.  We willingly follow the glowing blue dot, never questioning the accuracy of Google Maps — we are assured that we are being led … Continue reading →

Enjoy the Process as a Conduit of Joy

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Changing the footing of our life work, our daily activities is a challenging process under any circumstances.  But initiating such a change away from the premise that our life must be productive in order to be of value, is almost impossible.  We are indoctrinated with the belief that a life worth living must have meaning, and we cling to the expectation that what we offer the world must be worthwhile, else why go on? Everyone is familiar with the old … Continue reading →

Our Sense of Dis-Ease

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Throughout all of human history we find the universal theme of “dis-ease” and throughout the same history, we are offered countless ways that humanity has strived to explain the source of this ‘dis-ease’ as a means of coping, if not eradicating the cause. What if our sensing isn’t a problem to be solved, but instead is the leading edge of the solution?  Not because it points us to whatever cure we have struck upon, but because it taps us into … Continue reading →

Accessing Creative Source

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

As a child I would often escape to Nature, find a field to lie in, and stare up at the Clouds — watching the Cloud-People dance across the blue field, morphing, changing, bumping into one another, I would propel myself upward hoping to be enveloped into the cottony-softness and comfort. Little did I realize these were my early explorations into meditation and vision-seeking. It was years before I consciously connected the practice of Prayer and Meditation as a means to tap … Continue reading →

Awareness as Water

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

It is said that fish don’t know that they swim, that they don’t know that they move and have their being in a liquid.  They simply glide and flow within the environment that is their Universe.  Awareness as Water is very much the same thing.  We don’t know that we move and have our being within the awareness that is all around and us, and through us, and is the Consciousness that holds our Consciousness within it. Embarking upon a … Continue reading →

Conviction of Spirit (Post-Script)

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Activists take up a cause, perhaps become part of a group; some may create a mission and vision statement, or organize their efforts toward a worthy goal.  These aren’t necessarily bad things, in fact many good works and positive changes come out of such activities!   I may see and even acknowledge the value of what an activist or what a movement has to bring, and yet know that it isn’t mine to do.  It is theirs to do.  The Conviction … Continue reading →

And Grace Will Lead You Home

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

This is a line from a hymn, sung during my childhood.  I always envisioned Grace as something that was bestowed, or a quality that someone has in the world (very rarely would I attribute being graceful to myself).  But the notion that Grace Will Lead You Home — Grace as Spirit, the feminine face of God, the feminine expression/aspect of Source/Life.  Although it sounds etheric, it is very powerful.  The Hebrew word Ruach is translated as “wind”, “breath”, or “spirit”, the … Continue reading →

We are One Body

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

A number of years ago I went to a gallery opening of a friend’s exhibition.  As I walked through the gallery I alternated between the desire to share with a close friend my experience or to stand in silence to feel — such amazing work.  Everything was so rich and full of life and love. Most of the artist’s work was of nudes in a variety of media — her embrace of the human body and all of the nuances … Continue reading →
