Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Nov 27, 2022 https://www.assistthespirit.com/a-doorway-within-wide-open/ I stood at the end of a pier, drinking it in… The snow-capped Olympics glistened over Puget Sound from end to end on this particularly warm evening in April. Rigging on hundreds of boats tinkled casually amid an occasional seagull’s cry, and in the distance … as is common if you […]
The field of study that I come alive in is the field of awareness. It’s been called Zen, open mind, stillpoint, etc. Whatever the name, it involves stilling the mind, observing, and noticing, without judgment. (1) The basic agreement of the field is to remain aware of oneself. In the process, I noticed recently that […]
If it’s all about how we feel, as I believe it is for us humans, then what am I doing, in a take-charge manner, to see that I feel my best (as defined by me)? No, I don’t mean anything external. I’d like to keep our attention on the internal. It doesn’t cost anything and […]
I can often wait a lot more if I’m given a foretaste of what we’re talking about. Having had a foretaste of stillpoint, normalcy, and ecstasy recently, I’m now ready to … errrr … wait patiently for the main events if I have to (I hope I don’t have to). I see where we’re going […]
I am in so much ecstasy at the moment, I feel as if I could burst my skin. My job is not to get deeply into experiencing ecstasy per se. It’s to forego that depth of experience to remain aware so that I can write this down and others may find these states or spaces […]
What happens when this same mind, that tells us when to cross the street and what to eat, falls silent? Do we cease to function? Well, first of all “we” can never, ever cease to function. If we still have a shred of that thought around, we should drop back and let go of that […]
Sometimes I find myself making a thing of the “mind.” And I think of this thing as something I must have to survive. Control my mind, lose my mind … without the mind, I’m not me. … I guess it all depends on what you mean by “mind.” And, really, it’s super-difficult discussing the matter […]
Sorry, nothing more to report on Stillpoint. Except a peaceful day spent in self-awareness. Which I really needed. The event of Stillpoint now exists only in a rather unreliable memory – and whatever made it to paper. (1) Thank heavens I obeyed the Arcturians’ advice from long ago to write down one’s experiences immediately. Another […]
When one feels desireless, it’s like an empty theater when the curtain rises and the audience falls silent. There’s space in the hall. You can hear someone cough, a handbag snap shut. Then whatever arises arises. The really subtle feelings now can be felt. Peace is like a big barge that pushes everything else out […]
There exists a spectrum to how spiritual evolution is accomplished. At one end is what can be purely called “spirituality”; at the other, what can be purely called “growth.” What’s the difference between the two as terrestrials practiced them? Well, of course, everyone will have their own opinion and that’s as it should be. In […]
Because I regard all of life as a learning experience – the primary lesson to be learned being who we are -I create hypotheses for me to test out, which then become theorems. Often I resolve to test a thought out because it persistently repeats itself in my consciousness. Approaching life in this manner keeps […]
Francesca offers more details of one lightworker’s journey to live in more harmony and awareness with the vast Community of souls, seen and unseen, surrounding us The post below continues on from Francesca: Struggle and Redemption, the Light Revealed Fortunately, those bitter cold spells of -30 F only lasted a few days, several times/winter. A […]
April 14, 2021 God of our ordinary days and nights, God of extraordinary times, together we pray— guide our discerning and our deciding. ~Mary Wickham, Discernment Prayer There’s a balance between trusting the integrity of information from outer sources, and relying on ourselves as the valid fount of our individual truths. I’m seeking that […]
As a lightworker and a spiritual seeker, I see the benefits of cleansing, purifying, removing obstacles, processing vasanas, deconstructing the constructed self, reparenting myself, etc. I know what’s “down there.” (1) And it’s innocent and pure, loving and blissful. I am in a sense uncovering it. Or one could look at the matter in an […]
I want to continue with a contemplation I began earlier. (1) You know, I really think that we have … well, what am I saying? Our sources have been telling us this … a mixed-up view of things. Like about what’s important in life? I found myself looking outward for validation when suddenly I felt […]
