Self-doubt ...

SELF-DOUBT is of human construct.

If allowed to take root in the seedbed of the mind it erodes our sense of self-worth.  It is a dissonant sound that lays waste to harmony of mind, body and soul; a noxious weed that beguiles the mind. And it is a force ever at odds with our overall well-being; one that demands to be uprooted.  Only then may the blooms of our own God-given goodness flourish in the light of our true inner self: a perfect child of God.

“… the blooms of our own God-given goodness flourish … a perfect child of God.”   

This past Thursday evening I participated in another soul-stirring graduation of twenty *Pastoral Care Program students.  A one hundred and fifty year old *Chapel was the awe inspiring setting filled with families and friends.  The student’s had self-doubt at the beginning of the six week Program only to blossom in their own God-given goodness at their graduation. blw

At peace within ...

Wouldst that we were forever in that wondrously idyllic state midst heavenly Elysian Fields, mind at rest and at peace within. Fallible though we may be, even so, this is a state of being accessible to all.

In repose, we begin our journey by going within to reveal God’s presence. Knowing that He lives in us and we in Him, we concentrate the mind on the light of the soul suffused throughout our entire Being; an all-enveloping white light assuring us of God’s presence, while at once giving longed-for peace and comfort to the soul: our true self.

“… an all-enveloping white light assuring us of God’s presence, … giving longed-for peace and comfort to the soul: our true self.”   

This Saturday I was present at a small gathering where a friend shared a spiritually uplifting experience.  Linda, beaming brightly as she always does, explained that she and a friend were meditating-while-walking-along-a-pathway in Kensington, NW Calgary.  Another walker approaching them stopped and spoke: “I must tell you I saw a white light all around the two of you and felt a sense of inner peace.” blw

God's healing power ...

Who am I?  Why am I here? are questions we sometime ask ourself. Questions that all too often go unanswered, ofttimes at our own peril. Reason alone throws little light on the matter. If we are to rid ourself of that lingering sense of unease and despair; feelings that bedevil us and can but lead to ill health, we must probe deeper than mere thoughts of the mind. Salvation lies in the healing power of God, He who is ever present within us.

We have but to acknowledge God’s presence and, in stillness of mind and body, ask that His will be done. In thus surrendering to God we are as well unburdened of the many-layered veils that darken the soul, allowing us to love ourself and our fellow-man. Our spirituality is reawakened: We know with certainty who we are and why we are here. And we know true and abiding happiness.

“Our spirituality is reawakened … we know true and abiding happiness.”   

Springing into Newness was the name and spirit of today’s *workshop exploring the power of a new attitude into transforming the quality of life.  Is happiness a function of choice or chance?  Linda lead our class of twenty-one questioning souls in two meditation commentaries taking us into the power of silence enabling us to enter into the non-physical and create a new vision for ourselves. blw
