The Re-Patterning of Life

Here we ripen and come to a new level of maturity in our development as Universal Humans. Our life reflects the deeper guidance of the Essential Self. We become conscious co-creators, using our intentions and our word to manifest a world that works for everyone.

Inviting the Beloved to take Dominion: Transferring Authority

Our local selves become willing servants of our Essential Self within. Our True Nature becomes proactive and is willing to be the genuine authority in our life. What was once a reactive self has become a responsive presence.

Incarnating: Shifting Our Identity

As emerging Universal Humans we leave behind our former self-consciousness and feel at home in our Essential Self. We gain a feeling of peace and joy as the local selves relax their fears and let go of their efforts to control.

Contemplating the Glory of the Beloved

Here we are ready to fully contemplate the Essential Self in its more personal form, the Inner Beloved. As we bring our focus to the specific qualities and wisdom of this all-knowing inner presence, we merge in the heart of the One.

Entering the Inner Sanctuary

Create an Inner Sanctuary, a safe inner space where we receive guidance from our Higher Self. Patterned within all of us is a new humanity. Our Essential Self is waiting for our attention.

The Reach of Kindness

The Dalai Llama has said that “My religion is kindness.” Kindness is the antidote to everything. It’s the kindness and wisdom we encounter beyond our fears that brings us together, that brings us alive.

Trusting Life to Give Us What We Need

I never stop trusting that life will give me exactly what I need. It is then my privilege to work what I have been given. Reaping the blessings is the art of gratitude and trust.

Only the Heart Can Enter

The mind can lead us to the threshold of Wisdom, but only the heart can Enter. The mind weaves meaning like a Spider, but only the heart can leap into the Stream. We are given a mind to navigate Life, and we are given a heart to be Alive. (Zen saying)

Listening to the River

Jodi Rutenberg shares the gospel (good news) of the river on this magical Sunday. Returning from her kayaking adventure she has listened deeply to aliveness shared from the waters of life. 

Reliable Truths

What is the bedrock of truth that we each find reliable? What won’t let you down? Let’s remember those unnameable truths that can help us restore what matters when we lose our way.
