Sanctuary Newsletter – May 16, 2013
So here is what I am wondering. Why do people seek out spiritual community? I think I believe in intentional community. I KNOW I love G-d, and I think there are many ways for people to find their way to the Source of all creation.
I actually went into ministry to be an informed and dedicated guide for people who were searching for that Source and thought they might find it through the bible, the teachings and life of Jesus and the great masters, avatars and wisdom texts.
I also believe in the power of community to point people inward, and I have a gift for helping the process of "not getting stuck at the places where new and possibly painful inner information comes up." I am all about getting real, telling the truth about ourselves, making amends when we have done something to hurt ourselves or others. I think this is a kind of an inner ecology process, and it is what I think Jesus is getting at when he asks the man at the Bethesda Fountain if he wants to be made whole.
And I trust the process of ART. I know that when we surrender ourselves to the process of Flow, which comes through us as the Holy Spirit, or The Muse, or a Higher Power, answers come forth, our direction is altered, and TRANSFORMATION is possible. It is even likely.
So basically I love to create environments for learning and sharing and deepening and creating. I trust God to know how that might make a difference in people's lives. The bible tells us this: "Be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye TRANSFORMED by the renewal of your mind."
Roman 12:2
I believe in ART, and in the inner wisdom of human beings.
And I KNOW about practices ranging from yoga sutras, Chinese meridians, color therapy and Native American spirituality to Jungian depth psychology, addiction's recovery, Cognitive behavioral therapy and, and... But I BELIEVE in the power of the Source energy to transform you in the blink of an eye. I believe in and practice art and authenticity to serve as a conduit for that.
It really is all about the renewal of your mind.
And it is your choice how, or if you let that power in.
This week's colors are Indigo and Violet
See you Sunday at 2.
I love to see your face;)
Peace/out,
Rev. Jane
Rev Jane's quote above from Roman 12:2 brings to mind the book "This is Your Mind on Music", a thought provoking treatise on some of the mysteries of music's trans-formative effects. When we come together with a willingness to be transformed in mind, by the message, by our gathering, by music, and especially, by congruence with the Flow of Holy Spirit, we are bringing multiple tools to the service of our highest calling. There's no place we'd rather be! See you Sunday!
