Living with Love: A Sunday Afternoon with Isaiah–September 28, 2014

Hi,

I hope you can join us for what promises to be a fascinating afternoon with Isaiah. You may already know Isaiah, but just in case you don’t, He is an invisible teacher who seems to bring a “somewhat different point of view”. I think, actually, he touches some deeper part of the heart of us, inspiring, energizing and awakening us to an unknown realm of possibility in some cases In other places I think he reassures us of what we already know but are afraid to trust. You know the part that longs for more. In some ways he seems remarkably accessible, and yet after more than 30 year he continues to be part of The Mystery beyond my comprehension. I am grateful to get to share him and this sacred invisible place, an imaginal space, we enter together with you.

If you are interested in joining us the details are below. If you want the conference call information please let me know.

Jo: Isaiah could you tell us what you would like to talk about it, what is timely in our world?

Isaiah: Of course my dear, as you wish. There is no question the greatest challenge facing you all today is what we need to ponder together.

This Sunday’s Topic: Living with Love

Hello my dear ones,

Your dharma, your birthright is to live with Love

Oh,  I am not talking about that candy cotton sweet, sticky-stuff, although that is also fine as a special treat for children, beautiful, tasty, exciting — temporary

It melts in the heat you know. And life, by its very nature, creates that heat

I am speaking of something larger, more profound, and much more precious

It is the gold of life, your true wealth

Sometimes it is mistaken for false gold, the tawdry glitter of material things taking its place

It cannot you know, nothing can replace the numinosity of Love

The generative experience of being Love, giving Love, connecting with Love

Love is fierce, committed, and enormously huge.

Beyond simple description, it must be seen, felt, thought, and held in awareness

J: How do I know Love?

I: Why, you are it

First, look to yourself, for the best parts and the worst, all of you, embrace the enormity of the energy extending all around you

Consider ways to give away the wealth that is your birthright. 

Love is magnetic, drawing to it all that it needs, in order to give more freely.

Trust in Love, practice trusting, falling short, and trusting again.

Listen for it, look for it, expect to see it.

Watch carefully, and find others who want to practice with you.

God bless you and good day

Isaiah and Friends

J: Thank you

The Healing Alliance

What do you do
When you see a roadrunner
Walking
or 4 hawks flying?
Protecting a sacred mission

Or clouds showing
Pictures that are
Answered prayers?

Serendipitous happenings
Bring a smile to my face
As I am shown
There is always
So much more

Brene Brown: Listening to Shame

I hope you will join me as we launch a conversation tentatively titled Uniquely You. I have been working with an image for the last year. It is a partially finished jigsaw puzzle. It points to the importance of stepping into our unique, but related place, rewoven into the Web of Life.

I was thinking about all of this, again, on the way to work.  Once there, I continued review some wonderful writing one of my clients sent.  At the very end of the work she sited Brene Brown’s Listening to Shame. I clicked the link, listened and thought, “Yes! This is a way to begin.” 

I hope you have time to see appreciate Brene’s courage and commitment. She, it seems to me, speaks thoughtfully with feeling as she follows her heart’s journey, stepping into a place that is uniquely hers. What I would call her soul pursuit. 

Notice she also speaks of risking failure.  An emerging theme?

I would love to hear from you.

Walking Soul’s Spiral Retreat Series: What inspires you?

Stepping into Sacred Space: Welcoming Inspiration

A weekend retreat inviting you to pause and listen deeply.

What inspires you, gives you the fire to take action?
What stops you?
What is required so your dreams and longing
find form and are fulfilled?
What happens if you set aside time excavate buried dreams and dream new ones?
Can you see what keeps getting in the way?

Do you dare take the next steps
to live into the unique space belonging only to you,
listen for whispered secrets, and unlock forbidden passages?

Come, lets ask these and other questions together.
We can meet in sacred space, honor wisdom by listening, as you
respond to imagination’s call.
