A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:10:20 -0800

At times when we think honestly, if we stop deceivingourselves, we are forced to admit that life per se can become anunmitigated horror. Not only are we threatened by wars,financial shifts and joblessness, the calamities of nature andnarcissistic manipulators, the very earth itself treats us withsupreme indifference. The beautiful and productive world weinhabit slowly but surely converts every plant that sprouts astalk and each creature that draws a breath into fertilizer tofeed yet another doomed generation. A few men and women are universally successful but such superiorseeming geniuses usually lose so much empathy for we lessersouls that their relationships become selfish andself-defeating. Many end up alone and unloved, in a prison oftheir own making, as Michael Corleone did in The Godfather. Asan ancient African-American gospel song laments, life is plaguedwith sorrows, complications, and defeats for every person. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen -- Nobody knows...

The Language and Meaning of Flowers

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:23:02 -0800

Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing ThomasHood poem, The Language of FlowersFlowers and bouquets of flowers have a meaning of their own.Most of us know that a dozen red roses means, 'Be mine.' But didyou know, for example, that a primrose means, 'I can't livewithout you,' or that a purple hyacinth means, 'Please forgiveme,' or that a pink carnation means, 'I'll never forget you,' orthat a gladiolus means, 'Give me a break?'Flower meanings have been used to convey ideas, feelings andmessages for centuries. The word, floriography, has been coinedfor the assignment of meaning to flowers. There is a meaning tocolors of flowers, to numbers of flowers, and to groups offlowers. It is a silent language that has been largely lost tous through lack of use.In addition to the obvious choices of color and variety, thelanguage of flowers also includes the way flowers are worn orpresented. Presenting flowers upright conveys a positivemeaning, but if they are pres...

Should You Have A Spiritual Director?

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:10:30 -0800

I have been meeting with a spiritual director for nearly twoyears. Inevitably, when I return home from my monthly meeting,my husband asks me if I have found my spirit yet. He says thatsince I am going for "spiritual direction," obviously my spiritmust be lost. It is a poor joke on his part, but it serves toillustrate some of the misunderstanding that surrounds spiritualdirection. I admit, even I wasn't quite sure what I was walkinginto when I attended my first session, and that was after doingextensive research and attending an open house at the Center forSpiritual Direction in Holyoke, MA!What exactly is spiritual direction? Spiritual direction hasexisted as long as there have been people who have wanted toexplore and deepen their relationship with God and have soughtthe help of others more experienced in the spiritual journey toguide them. In the earliest days, such a guide might have been ashaman or medicine man or woman. The tradition was continuedin both the Jew...

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 02:08:00 -0800

The youth of India today is scaling new heights, aspiring higher, and demanding more. It is a country that wakes up every morning a little younger and infinitely more ambitious in spirit, hustling its way to growth. The one sector that personifies the changing aspirations and growing needs of this new India is the residential sector. What was unthinkable of, a couple of decades ago has changed drastically. Owning homes that reflect our philosophy and tradition meant an investment of lifetime's savings. Strong economic growth, availability of home loans, low interest rates, plunging returns on mutual funds are a few of the prime reasons that has brought the mind shift and made home buying an attractive proposition.

Lectio Divina -- Spiritual Bible Reading

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:10:31 -0800

Lectio divina is a very useful and practical discipline forspiritual growth. Rooted in ancient monasticism, the practice isa fourfold cycle: Reading, Meditation, Prayer, andContemplation. In fact, the term itself means 'sacred reading.'Reading. Lectio divina begins with a 'text,' whether that is theBible, a spiritual classic, something in nature, or even anotherperson. You must 'take up and read.' But the reading is not doneto acquire knowledge or information, to master the text. Readingis done slowly, focusing on words and connections. In lectiodivina, we are seeking to let the text master us.I read through the Bible, a practice known as lectio continua,during my devotional times. I used to read for information, andto get through a certain amount say, four chapters every day,but now I read slowly, taking at most a chapter each day. As Iread, I listen for how the Word of God is addressing me.Meditation. Meditation is focused thought. In lectio divina, weare neither le...

The Worship Leader is a Spiritual Leader

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:57:41 -0800

This article is for worship leaders. And as such, I believe itneeds to focus on leadership skills. It is my intent to do thisfrom a Biblical perspective. The only prerequisite forleadership is you must have somebody follow you. I can be justone person or thousands. The definition is still the same - Aleader must have someone following them.Understand That You are a Spiritual LeaderBut there is more to leadership than having people follow you.In the Body of Christ you are a not just a leader. You are aSpiritual Leader. Your leadership skills must be in alignmentwith spiritual ideals.Spiritual Leader Defined'A Leader is someone who is called by God with God givencapacities and God given responsibility to serve a specificgroup of God's people directing them in God's purpose for thatgroup to bring glory to God. Now that is a powerful! Go back and read that again. As a matterof fact go ahead and memorize that statement. It is the basisfor the rest of this article. It is an...

A Doubtful Fate of Laotian and Cambodian Buddhism

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:33:41 -0800

LAOTIAN BUDDHISM TAKES A NEW TURNThough a small country with a small population, Laos was strong religiously. Before the Communist takeover in , Buddhism was the state religion under royal patronage and the Sangha was unified, with no division into sects or denominations, under the leadership of the Supreme Patriarch. In spite of the absence of current statistics, it can be said that in nearly percent of the million Laotians were Buddhists. Not only were they unified in their faith, they were also strong in their faith.Laotians were devoted Buddhists of the Theravada School. They adhered to the traditional Buddhist culture that they had shared with the traditional Thais. Laos stood at an earlier stage of modernization than Thailand and the monkhood had not been isolated from, or lost its place in, any sector of Laotian society. The monks had their rightful share in the process of development. Leadership of the monkhood was still maintained and the monks still p...

Spiritual Belief

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:46:49 -0800

Spiritual BeliefThe atmosphere surrounding the earth is still a matter ofspecial interest for scientific research. Some physicists havediscovered and suggest that we are living within a field ofenergy that surrounds and envelops the earth, like an invisiblehalo. Through this are shot electrical charges. It appears thatnot only does this energy charge the batteries of our mind, bodyand soul it also helps us to be successful. Einstein stated thatto the physicist this field is as real as the chair you aresitting on.Man has suddenly re-awakened to the fact that he is part of avast cosmos, and that we are not just a speck of dust on a chunkof matter, revolving around the sun. With this new dawn and withcosmic realization our questioning mind will find answers tosome of mans most demanding questions. One of the mostpersistent conceptions in the history of human thinking has beenthe idea that there is a definable relationship between theindividual and there destiny. This is a...
