Spiritual Reflections

Below are some of my favorite spiritual reflections from one of our sessions on prayer and communication with God. Enjoy!


BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM.
BE STILL AND KNOW.
BE STILL.
BE.
(Psalm 46:10)


Exodus 3:14 reveals the name God gives to Moses: I am who am. If you look at the verb tense, it is in the present. I am. God is, here and now. We know God when we live in the present moment, when we are in touch with the fullness of Now.


"Prayer, then, is not primarily saying words or thinking thoughts. It is rather a stance. It is a way of living in the Presence! It is a way of living in awareness of the Presence, of enjoying the Presence."
- this reminds me of 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing"


An excerpt from Earthspirit by Michael Dowd:
"Humanity itself can be understood as the capacity of the planet for conscious awareness or reflexive thought. That is, the human enables Earth to reflect on itself and on the divine Mystery out of which it has come and in which it exists. ... We allow nature, for the first time, to begin to appreciate its own staggering beauty and feel its own magnificent splendor. We humans are the means by which Earth has freedom, choice, and spiritual awareness."


"To see the world in a grain of sand,
and heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of our hand,
And eternity in an hour."
- William Blake
(a great example of interbeing!)
