Spiritual Congruence

Leave a comment

Caroline Myss is a pioneer in healing, truth finding, spirituality and individual power that I have learned from through the years and her post today really resonated with me.  Thoughts, power and where it originates, the word, and the fruitlessness of judgement… Her explanations provide simple yet powerful paths to truths of our existence here on the planet!  Myss calls maintaining spiritual congruence the fifth mystical law.  Here they are:

“Practice spiritual congruence by living these truths:

  • You should say only what you believe and believe what you say.

  • Power originates behind your eyes, not in front of your eyes. Once power becomes visible, it evaporates. True power is invisible.

  • Thought precedes the creation of matter. Therefore, your thoughts are instruments of creation as much as your words, deeds, and finances. Become conscious about the quality of your thoughts, because each one sets patterns of cause and effect into motion. Every thought is a tool. Every thought is a prayer.

  • Judgement anchors you to the person or thing you judge, making you its servant. Judge others too harshly and you become their prisoner.”

Many Paths to the Ultimate Mystery

Leave a comment

Connection and intimacy with the all pervasive creative force that we are immersed in is called by many names across the world’s cultures.  We all crave it, this connection to some thing greater than ourselves, that eternal, encompassing,  all knowing force.

No intermediary needed.  No religion.  Rather an authentic, individual, unique, real and raw communion.

These words from Brother Teasdale, and Rory McEntee and Adam Bucko about interspirituality spoke to me of these cravings.  Of the mystic and mysterious unknowable knowing I seek daily.  We need not be separated by how we get there and we can certainly help each other in the understanding of the journey.  We can even help each other get there.  Sharing our authentic, individual, unique experience and deeply listening to others, we find, feel and know the Ultimate Mystery.  Imagine.

“The religion of humankind can be said to be spirituality itself, because mystical spirituality is the origin of all the religions. If this is so, and I believe it is, we might say that interspirituality — the sharing of ultimate experiences across traditions — is the religion of the third millennium. Interspirituality is the foundation that can prepare the way for a planet-wide enlightened culture…”

-Brother Wayne Teasdale (Catholic Monk)

“Each religion, we believe, offers a unique way into the Ultimate Mystery and unique fruits, as does each individual journey. We are ready to move into a unity that is full, that welcomes all textures, where the Buddha’s equanimity complements Christ’s radical love in action, and where the Hebrew prophetic outrage can be merged with the incarnate spirituality of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and the timeless revelations of the Hindu sages.”

-Rory McEntee and Adam Bucko
