The Golden Rule — Expanded

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Everyone knows what the “Golden Rule” is – “treat others the way you want to be treated.”  However, this short-hand definition is a bit short-sighted, only focusing on behavior (including words), it lacks the experience of heart behind the sentiment. In the past I would frequently fall prey to an occupational hazard of going into ‘teaching-mode’ or ‘counselor-mode’ with the intention to convey something IMPORTANT to my listeners.  A grave error – based on an assumption that I know what … Continue reading →

Expanding the Community of Faith

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Finding the balance between holding my own counsel vs. with-holding my truth, I seek to use words that create opening and understanding.  This wasn’t always the case, I was consumed with the need to express myself, at times risking alienation and misunderstanding, until I discovered the language of the heart. In the same way, I struggle with bodies of faith that focus on the intellect as a means to understand and seek/find their way to God through their brain.  Nor do I … Continue reading →

Spreading Love Through Joy

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

When you perform work from the center of JOY (which has a high resonance), the effort that you put out will lift people up.  If you do meaningful work, but it isn’t from a place of JOY it isn’t as transformative.  So by doing JOY, by being in JOY, you are not only raising the quality of your own life, you are also raising the quality of life of the people you serve. One person resonating at a higher frequency … 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 →

LOVE is neither a Verb nor a Noun!

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

What if Love became something more than a Noun, something more than a Verb?  Many people like to expand the power of Love by saying that Love is a verb, that it is more than an emotion, that it is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling, and that you have to put Love into Action:  thus declaring “Love is a Verb”.  By insisting on this perspective, by somehow putting it into action the intention is to make it more … Continue reading →

In the Beginning was the Word — was this Love?

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

Love is a puzzling word – we have so many associations in our culture with Love, and by virtue of those associations, many limitations that are placed on that word.  If we lived in another country (say Italy, France, Spain, or Latin America) we would discover that within those other romance languages so many other experiences and expressions of Love are embedded within the language that go beyond ‘amore’. It is often stated that Love is All There Is – … 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 →

The Multi-verse of People

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

I no longer need (nor want) to ‘figure’ people out, or help them to ‘figure’ themselves out.  It’s not about what we know; it’s about what we feel, and where this leads us in the world (inner and outer).  Every person is a whole Universe unto themselves – I find mult-verses sitting across the table from me, walking down the street, sitting at a traffic light, ringing up my groceries in the store.  Whole Universes – separate from mine, curious … Continue reading →

Communion of Spirit

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

A friend of mine once told me she believes that whenever we think of someone, they are thinking of us at the same time — like a prayer between Souls. I wonder if it is similar to the principle of superposition — where the quantum wavefunction of a single electron can “split” into two or more spatially separated parts, so whatever stimulus one receives the other responds.  Since we are all ‘One” — “existing in two different regions that are arbitrarily far apart from … Continue reading →

Unified Field of Consciousness:  Blessing & Curse

Soul Leadings & Life Readings Posted on by

There is one thing that all of humanity has in common, one fact that transcends all cultures, races, religions, and socio-economic status:  a Fear of the Unknown.  And we collectively cope with this fear by creating a unified field of consciousness, something that we can rely upon to provide familiarity and security.   Some of these unified fields are contained in religious beliefs, described in myths, or created through traditions rooted in our culture. Study of all of humanity’s collective creation … Continue reading →
