God has no hands but ours

PALM BAY, FL Angela was a 28 year old that was recently diagnosed with leukemia and passed on very quickly. She left a husband and children behind who are struggling with their loss. Single parenthood, medical bills, and Walmart wages add up to make it a tough road for this family. Walmart stores in the area are all pitching in this Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 for a fundraising event in front of the store at 845 Palm Bay Road, just east of I-95 exit 176. There will be a ton of food, so come grab some lunch and help this family out with donations of cash or canned goods.  The event will be from 10AM to 5PM.  Live Music: Musicians Mark Mahoney and Ken Sharp will stop by to do a special ‘unplugged’ set for a couple hours leading up to lunch. Bring some friends.  Every dollar helps.  It will return to you a thousandfold.

I just had a big evidential that doing intensive forgiveness work can turn around even the most hardened heart. A friend’s wife had been hateful and mean as they split, then today she visited him and apologized, realizes how hard he worked at it when she didn’t and offered him money.

Jeremy has an interesting story.

His story to me was that the Christian community he was involved with ignored him during his troubled times and he came to me for meditation. We began metaphysical discussion and reading Rumi, Hafez nightly and his mind blew open. While he was incarcerated in SC for 6 months,I introduced him to Bo Lzoff’s book We’re All Doing Time, which instructs inmates to use their prison time s self imposed monks doing sadhana, spiritual practice.  He began meditating and having revelations and writing them to me.  He was gaining insight from time spent contemplating and I witnessed the evolution of thought via his daily writings.  I could see his beliefs evolving and morphing.  I watched the light bulbs as they went off. Below I share from what I sent him. It’s way long. Continue reading →

I have met many people who have been treated for depression and other conditions when they were, in fact, in the deep stages of spiritual crisis. ~ Caroline Myss

A spiritual crisis may cause disruption in psychological, social and occupational functioning. This crisis is a sign that deep work and purification are unfolding.
