I want to live in a world happy and free, full of optimism, sunflowers, cherry red cheeks after bouts of laughter, madly deeply love, popsicles in the summer and hot chocolate in the winter. Wouldn't it be great if we all got along, laughed at our mistakes, learned from one another, found the mystery of life inviting, and feared nothing. Imagine yourself surrounded by tall green grass, wildflowers the colors of life, and all the people you love. Be in that moment every day and find something to
be grateful for.

shamir

Shamir is a term the ancients used to describe the precious gems that comprised the Philosopher’s Stone, a "white powder gold" substance primarily used in religious ceremonies to achieve higher states of consciousness. Shamir is a blend of Etherium Gold and trace minerals from volcanic ash that has exceptionally high paramagnetic values. Shamir also has the same double vortex pattern of Etherium Gold, and therefore possess many of its metaphysical properties.

Shamir tends to work with the primal energies of the body, which deal with survival, sexuality and reproduction, and how we socially interact with others. How we interact and perceive ourselves in a social world is largely the result of perceptions of experiences during childhood. Many of these childhood perceptions are in reality misperceptions, yet they stay with us through adulthood, often times without us even realizing it. So, we become programmed to respond to situations in certain ways and with certain emotions that may not be in our best interest. read more about shamir

through the eyes of tony

He was gripping the string of the kite with both hands, feeling the movement guide his hands up and down, to the left, to the right – all depending on the direction of the wind.

I described the kite to Tony, "It’s a rectangular shaped, with a long tail on it. It's flying really high up!"

"What does it look like Dakota?" He asked. I stopped for a moment and looked at Tony. He is much shorter than I am, his Asian skin blending with his dark buzzed hair. His shirt neatly tucked into his crisp blue shorts, not looking like he’s on day four of our river trip. He fingers the kite string tirelessly and rocks his body back and forth with his head in a perpetual bow towards the ground. Tony has been blind since birth. He has never seen a kite, or the river we are rafting down. He has never seen color, or trees, or faces, or any of the many sights we take for granted every day. read full article

 

book review

Hearing a call is a very difficult discernment process. Sometimes the call is clear, but the path is not. Sometimes the path is clear, but the desire is not. Gregg Levoy has done an exceptional job at being an in-print spiritual director for those seeking an entrance into the process of finding a true calling and a more authentic life.

What is right for me? and Where am I willing to be led? are the two essential questions -- Discernment requires that we ask these two questions continually and devotedly.

As Levoy says, 'people won't pursue their callings until the fear of doing so is finally exceeded by the pain of not doing so.' I have found this to be very true. It took a very long time to discern my call to the priesthood, and yet more time to decide that it is something I must do at all costs (and the costs have been heavy). Yet, I cannot imagine myself doing anything differently and being in any way fulfilled.

'The truest calls seem not only to keep coming back but also to make their way to us through many channels.'

Levoy integrates so much material here, from spiritual masters and the scriptural traditions of many religious faiths to modern psychology and artistic/cultural experts.

Perhaps the greatest chapter for me was that on 'Finding Clarity', in which Levoy says that 'there is such a thing as thinking too much about a calling.' As Emerson said, sometimes it is best to let the bird sing without trying to decipher the song. 'A calling is ultimately mysterious, and the process of discernment is always a bit of a guessing game.'

Levoy's guidance, in cooperation with others in my community, helped me to see a change of mindset, a change of events, a change of personalities were all converging to tell me something that I had closed my mind to, or, more accurately, had closed my heart to. So, I began to pray, even if only subconsciously, and the path began to materialise before my eyes.

'When I pray, coincidences start to happen. When I don't pray, they don't happen.' - William Temple

It also taught me that I couldn't wait for 'someday' -- how we spend our days is how we spend our lives, according to the apt observation of Annie Dillard.

And finally, it made me face what it was to keep saying no. There is a cost, and eventually God will get you anyway -- Jonah (remember Jonah and the great fish?) said no, but eventually had follow his call anyway. I learned that one source of my fear: 'One of the frightening prospects of saying yes to a calling is that you may find out who really supports you and who doesn't.'

Figuring out how to bring my call into being was the final task, and Levoy provided wisdom here as well. 'You cannot cross a chasm in two small jumps', he quoted Lloyd-George as saying; I was forced to create a response to my call, one that did not exist before.

Thus, not too long after discovering this book, I became Father Kurt, and I owe much to this book for that. But please, don't assume that it will tempt or trap you into a ministerial role--it is an excellent guide for discernment, and discernment is one of the most personal tasks for any human being.
