Essays on Spiritual Perception: Shifting Perceived Realities
Plug Into Power
Where we live, we have many little spurts of power outage. That means while working at my desk computer I used to experience multiple cases of “you’ve got to be kidding” as the computer shut off in the middle of writing something. Finally, after the outage where I reacted with an almost equal reaction, we [...]
Is Spirit Calling Your Name?
We were at the local corn fest, and had arrived just in time to hear the raffle announcer say, “Coleen Springer you have won the bike”. It was a cute little bike; I am sure Coleen would have loved it. They kept calling her name, and when she didn’t answer, they said they would draw [...]
God’s Economy Is Thriving
The question is – are we participating. First, let’s discuss what we mean by God. On the other hand, perhaps we first should start with the opposite economy from God’s, the worldview economy, and then come back to what we mean by God. The worldview economy doesn’t just refer to how many people are out [...]
False Evidence Appearing Real
A little green tomato fell off one of my plants and I put in on my window ledge to ripen. Days later, I noticed it wasn’t there. I didn’t move it, Del didn’t move it, where was it? I took my rings off and put them on the sink. When I went to look for [...]
Acting On Expectations
We have two bird feeders that we bring in at night because although they are technically critter proof, there is nothing that can stop a raccoon that has all night to skillfully pick out the seeds one at a time. In the morning, if I forget to put them out as soon as dawn breaks, [...]
Don’t Say “That’s Enough”
We have trained ourselves to live at a certain level of abundance and not to rise too much higher, or at least do it really, really, slowly, and in the timing and manner of our choice. This means that although infinite Love is providing ever-expanding abundance for every one of us in every moment, because [...]
Don’t Go To The Worldview Store
The worldview survives by selling us the story that things go wrong, that there isn’t enough, that people are to blame, that we need and need and need some more. It is just like a store, plying us with messages that make us want to come in and buy. It only exists because we keep accepting it and agreeing with it, and stopping in all the time to pick up the latest version of lack, fear, blame, and guilt.
The Garden Of Life
Since my dad passed away, I have had the privilege of going through all his papers. He saved them all. In fact, if there hadn’t been a mudslide into our parent’s basement one year, ruining multiple boxes, I imagine it would be many years before I would be done. I am sure he saved most [...]
What The Mind Knows
Sitting on the back porch, I kept glancing over to my right where I could see a brownish “haze” under the weeping spruce tree. It kept distracting me because I couldn’t figure out what it was. Thinking that the rain or the early morning light was doing something funny to my vision, I looked, and [...]
“All That I Have Is Thine”
The story goes that the young man who had left home and wasted his inheritance returned home humbled and grateful. His father celebrated his return without a trace of punishment or rebuke. His brother was dismayed. He had not left home, but had stayed and served his father well. Why was there no celebration for [...]
