Reflections around Ceremony

Reflections around CeremonyWe each have our little ceremonies. Some are for luck, others for protection (touch wood!). We can have a ceremony before we enter a place, we have ceremonies for births, deaths and weddings. Some have rituals for when they wake up, others have rituals before bedtime.

Letting things flow

Letting things flowThe news bulletins are full of Covid-19 and little else – except, perhaps, the sport results. When many are unable to get tested, feel insecure, and feel the energy of inevitable succumbing to this virus all around them – the Hierarchy comes with a message. Ask for help. Access your higher consciousness and raise your energy-frequency-vibration. Let things flow. Descent into negativity does not help you nor anyone else. Help everyone by accessing your higher consciousness. Let things flow: be in your personal flow of higher energy-frequency-vibration, and so be an aide to all that is.

Some thoughts on Halloween

trick or treatHalloween is a unofficial holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2021 occurs on Sunday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

Your Relationship to the News

Your Relationship to the NewsThere are many situations where we are confronted with the news. In a waiting room, in a shopping mall, the giant screens on some buildings, and the large screens in the airport halls, the railway station halls. Then there is the news we access – our phone, our tablet, our computer, the home television. We have been in situations when we become bored with the news endlessly recycling. Tedium, bored, or shocked. The news impacts us all.

Christian Buddhist Explorations: The Rainbow Body

Tibetan OM

When David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, proposed investigating the “rainbow body,” a phenomenon in which the corpses of highly developed spiritual individuals reputedly vanish within days of death, he received an enthusiastic response from Marilyn Schlitz, IONS’ director of research.

In a new joint initiative with the Esalen Institute, IONS is expanding its research on “metanormal capacities”—behaviors, experiences, and bodily changes that challenge our understanding of ordinary human functioning—because they raise crucial questions about the developmental potential of human beings.

Creating Time, Creating Boundaries, Creating Balance

In this article, we learn that Source (God) Energy is non-polarised. And we also, as humans, can aspire to the state of perfect balance; we can use our discrimination to achieve that balance. Discrimination is a function of the intellect, which is nearest to the Soul.
