Weekly Pause & Ponder
Cultural nightmares of our time, like global warming and horror scenes of warfare, are certainly shifting our consciousness – toward the awareness that our conventional ways of being and acting are seriously out of kilter with the wider web of life. We are beginning to understand differently from the outside, but at the inner level the conversion has scarcely begun. I use “inner” here as applied to both our collective and individual identities.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Weekly Pause & Ponder
It’s easy to forget what an amazing gift life really is. Our lives are nothing but a cosmic blink. Even our seemingly all-encompassing world is just a tiny blue dot circling an average sized star spiraling around a galaxy of 200-400 billion stars, which itself is one galaxy among billions more. Yet for one brief moment, we get to experience the wonders of existence of consciousness.

Weekly Pause & Ponder
When we say God is eternal, we mean God is eternally young.
“The outward person is the old person, the earthly person, the person of this world, who grows old from ‘from day to day.’ His end is death… The inward person is not at all in time or place but is purely and simply in eternity. It is there that God arises… [and] is heard, there God is; there God, and God alone, speaks.”
– Meister Eckhart quoted in Matthew Fox, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ
