I just finished watching an hour-long presentation by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. In it, she previewed the contents of her new book, Whole Brain Living. Not only did she expose the myth that we only use 10% of our brains, but she added that we have four distinct parts of…

Fly Free It was the buzzing that woke me. Wanting to sleep in, I felt the sharp constriction of irritation in my stomach that precedes anger. Breathing deeply, I squelched that impulse. I’d never get back to sleep if I gave in to anger. I lay there, watching my…

We Have a Choice!
Today, we come to celebrate Easter Sunday – the commemoration of the day that Jesus demonstrated how we must die to the old life in order to be born into the new one. This is the culmination of the Hero’s Journey that we have been on since the beginning of February. Joseph Campbell spoke of this idea as “resurrection” in the Hero’s Journey: “The hero’s death and resurrection is a model for the casting off of the old life and moving into the new.” In following Jesus on the penultimate path of transformation, we take along the final four of the Twelve Powers: Order, Zeal, Renunciation and Life. As always, we have a choice: To live as we are or to die in order to be re-born as something greater!

This powerful and moving service uses prayer, meditation, and music to illuminate our own levels of willingness to let go and to dedicate ourselves to our spiritual unfoldment.
