Spirituality Is Minding Your Own Business

       Coming down out of the clouds to look for a more practical definition of "spirituality," you might say that spirituality is minding your own business.  Sounds ironic, but the world doesn't need more busy-bodies and crusaders, who often create more restlessness and confusion than healing. If you think your business is correcting and saving the world, just make sure you don't interfere with another soul's most sacred freedom, the freedom to learn and grow by experiencing the consequences of their own choices.  Rather than minding other people's business in service to humanity, it's often wiser to mind your own, very lovingly, very carefully, without haste or fear or comparison. Be like a flower, enhancing the whole garden by unfolding your own unique peculiar beauty, rough edges, blemishes and all. Here's a subtle secret: learn to be authentically yourself, and your wholeness radiates wholeness to others.  When you embody th...

How she became my guide in uniting the wisdom of the East with the Christian mystical tradition. Mary is very personal, and very real, yet she is an energy within our subtle body, not just a historical figure from the past.

   Playfulness without a player. The frolic of God. An abandoned lute fingered by the midnight wind. Countlessness of pollen grains in a single flower. The fragrance of myrrh wafted over the ocean where moons dance in dolphin crescent stillness. A fallen tower spilling jasmine  and oil of spikenard on the sand as rudderless boats of plenty drift unhelmed wherever anointing is needed. Her body laden with jars of chrism and wine, how could she whirl up your backbone from blossom to blossom, escaping your gravity? A woman of the night or the temple virgin of Ningal? Yes. And the grail holder of Jesus. Scholars will never understand how her polished emptiness overflows. How her darkness engenders stars. They would rather correct mistakes in God's translation of her marvelous silence. If you want to taste her fecund blackness, cleanse the secret window of your heart. Behind clouds of grief and time the space of her...

What Is Your Name?

   What is your name? Is it, by any chance, the name of God? Whenever you say I Am, you name you name yourself with God's name. Moses asked God, "What is your name?" God used the same name you use for yourself, answering, "I Am that I Am." Your most intimate name must speak from the same Being who spoke to Moses.  Christ used this very name when he breathed these words from his heart, "I Am the light of the world." Later he said, "You are the light of the world," indicating the identity of his I Am and yours. When you truly utter I Am, you shine with the glory of Christ.  One Being whispers, I Am the Creator, I am the Child of God, I Am the mothering Spirit who enters your body as this breath. I Am singing a three-part harmony, to irradiate heaven and earth through the crystal prism of the Holy Trinity. Therefore when you say I Am, say it with ecstasy and reverence, caught up in the love of the Father for Christ, and...
