The time has come now for us to evolve and become the mystics and great countless saints of today. Innumerable because of our ubiquity. Immeasurable because we are not singular, set-apart extraordinary individuals, but rather because we are becoming and WeCreating an empowered and enlivened collective. A vast communal network across the globe, inhabiting and enacting (abiding and attending) as the mystical Body of Christ, transforming the world in ways big and small.
Read MoreRepentance can be a creative act—a movement arising from deep within, inviting us into greater freedom and new discoveries. Rather than giving our energy to what limits, blocks, or keeps us stuck, we can engage in sacred turning as a practice of repair, balance, and healing. In so doing, we restore the flow of life, making space for the creative force of divine love to move through us.
If “Christianity” repents, as we explored last week, what is my response? What is my part in it?
Read More“Repent” is a loaded word in and of itself, but what it means in its roots is to turn around, to stop going in the direction you have been and return back. In the language Jesus spoke, Aramaic, it would have held a connotation of returning back to God.
And where is God?
How have we left God and moved away in the wrong direction?
For we are not simply passengers on the vessel. We are the crew. We are the ship. (And we are the ocean too). As we ride the winds and the currents leading us into the future, we are all vital and necessary—as the nature of God is to incarnate and express among and through us.
We not only worship a God-Beyond-Us or are devoted to a God-Beside-Us. We are called to live into God-Being-Us as an act of worship.
What does it look like to worship the divine in us?
Read MoreWeCreating is about being an active part of bringing forth heaven on earth, in the here and now. We might also call that the work/play of loving evolution—a divine process of ongoing creation and holistic becoming.
In our divine participation, we are called to be co-creators of the new heaven and new earth—which is not a separate realm or distant future, but an integrative becoming and emergence in this world, in this life together. In this way, we become evolutionaries, those actively participating and contributing to loving evolution of the world, WeCreating the future.
Read MoreDo you know you have a Divine Vocation?
Yes, you. Every single one of us has it. It is the deepest calling of our lives.
Our divine vocation is not a call to the priesthood or ministry. It is not about your occupation or profession. It’s not even entirely primarily about what we do.
Our divine vocation is first and foremost about who we truly are.
Read MoreWhen was the last time you felt deeply inspired?
How have you felt the divine sparks of creative inspiration illuminating and animating possibility in your life?
As we evolve in our spiritual journey, many of us undergo significant transformations in the nature of our will and the source of our motivation.
Read MoreAs we go beyond getting caught up in the persons involved with evil and seek to engage on a deeper level of the source and roots, we will find the toxin from which the blight is grown.
Read MoreTo meet and counter evil, more than “resistance” is needed. More than laws and justice are required. More than understanding, inclusivity, and unity will be required. We will need to “disabuse” evil, to dispel its enchanting power through our full inhabiting of our own divine power and vitality.
Read MoreThe hope of the resurrection comes to us now, today, in ways that transform who we are and how we live in this day and age. And this hope truly saves us—not from a future hell but from the dismay and fear of a world seen only through the opaque lens of death and despair.
We can find our living hope, mystical and eternal in the here and now, resurrected for life everlasting, today.
