I am a little lost when I think about what new career path I should take. I must trust that I will no doubt end up on the right path without even knowing I had changed direction. 2 Reply Malag10 months agoMalagA question I have asked in the recent past is whether I could live by the questions or the answers. Often I would tousle with life looking for answers to the big questions. And generally not finding them. I am finding it interesting to ask good questions and live with those questions deep inside with no requirement for an answer. There is more peace and acceptance for me in that. 2 Reply Linda10 months agoLindaMy white privilege. How am I unconsciously exercising it? 4 Reply Mica10 months agoMicaWill Black lives start mattering more now, when people of all colors are joining in protest? How much police reform will happen? What can I do, on a continuing basis, to make at least a tiny difference? 2 Reply Shellan10 months agoShellanHow can I take my health & well being to the next level? I gave up meat in February and am on a journey to heal and nourish my body with life giving foods. I also added juicing into my diet. One of the reasons I have given up meat is to lower my cholesterol that has been high for last few years. I don’t want to go on medicine for that. I want food to be my medicine. 3 Reply pkr10 months agopkrWhat’s next? How can I keep my vibration high? How can I be and stay in the “Light”? When can I get my hair cut?!!! 5 Reply Ed Schulte10 months agoEd SchulteThis year is 2020 I don't ask for "question or answers" but I do hope mankind will pay more attention to what their "fates" are signalling to them!

One aspect of mankind’s consciousness IS the fact that it is accumulative. (aka “collective consciousness”) life time after life time after life time. And that “collective” has a wisdom of its own. This is sometimes termed “20-20 vision”, a sort of mysterious intuitive insight never clearly understood ( but often marketed for profit in spiritual market places ). The fates are particularly playful this year, with all the turmoil humans are imposing on themselves, …they are saying “remember to use your 20-20 vision humans….after all this is the YEAR 2020 isn’t it”?

Still, even now, after everything, I find myself like a shaggy dog cocking my head at the world regularly in that spontaneous "huh?" kind of way. And a while back someone challenged me why I was so incurious....which took me by surprise...as indeed, I care a lot, but not necessarily enough to dig deeper.

Still, even now, after everything, I find myself like a shaggy dog cocking my head at the world regularly in that spontaneous “huh?” kind of way. And a while back someone challenged me why I was so incurious….which took me by surprise…as indeed, I care a lot, but not necessarily enough to dig deeper. For example during these recent days my relationship to racism, my own privilege, and my complicit state (in the sense that merely being a member of the most destructive human culture ever) is as exhausting as it is essential. So I am beholden to pay attention on that level…which is I suppose a way of saying that I see what I am about…what I am doing (or not, as the case may be). I appreciate your sharing so much.

As Rudolf Stein speculated in his “Global Pentecost” humans will ( their earthly survival depends on ) their adopting that “incurious nature of a shaggy dog” of yours to come forward…… laying aside ALL ill conditioned judgemental-ism, need for material-ism, power over others …and “breath” our humans-ness just as the Holy Spirit “breathed” all Human into form existence. This is ( for me ) the “Go” aspect of Br David’s” wise advice. Be Well Be Present EdS Read More4 Reply Colleen10 months agoColleenI ask myself what personal growth looks like in the next year. I ask myself what I can do differently to achieve improved results. I ask myself if I am stepping out of my comfort zone enough during these very challenging times in the U.S. I ask myself. 4 Reply Paula10 months agoPaulaWe dont know what future is bringing us, I would never imagine this situstion 8 months ago, and I lived in the certenty of my job and my normality. I now live praying all day long, I now also figured out that I should have lived all my live praying all day long as we never know what future will bring us. Only certaintly is God. Keep still and know I am God 4 Reply Present Moment10 months agoPresent MomentCurrent changes are creating new suffering. How may I work towards the reduction of suffering for all beings? 3 Reply sunnypatti10 months agosunnypattiI have had answers arise for me this year. I have found clarity with regards to my personal life and realizing I want to spend the rest of my life with my boyfriend, with regards to my job in choosing to go for a higher position that I failed at getting last year but got last month! And also with regards to myself, in knowing that the work never ends. With all that has been happening in the world the past few months, I am constantly reminded to practice what I preach. And that is not a bad thing...I have had answers arise for me this year. I have found clarity with regards to my personal life and realizing I want to spend the rest of my life with my boyfriend, with regards to my job in choosing to go for a higher position that I failed at getting last year but got last month! And also with regards to myself, in knowing that the work never ends. With all that has been happening in the world the past few months, I am constantly reminded to practice what I preach. And that is not a bad thing! Peace, love, compassion. I feel like my purpose is to share the light, and despite differences in opinions and beliefs, I am working hard to continue doing so.

In this sense: as a person whose presence is connected to a situation. SO: How is my presence today pertinent to the people I am with? 2 Reply Carol10 months agoCarolEarlier this week, I was at a senior feeding site where, before the Pandemic, seniors could gather together to socialize and enjoy a hot-lunch provided by the local Council on Aging. Now carry-out lunches are available each week day. Seniors gather in the parking lot and practice social distancing as they stand in line to pick up their lunch. Some wear masks. Some do not. Yesterday, one woman said, “Do you think we will ever get to sit down and eat together again?” A man replied, “...Earlier this week, I was at a senior feeding site where, before the Pandemic, seniors could gather together to socialize and enjoy a hot-lunch provided by the local Council on Aging.

Yesterday, one woman said, “Do you think we will ever get to sit down and eat together again?” A man replied, “Not ‘til next year.” A second woman chimed in with an authoritative tone, “All those people taking to the streets don’t seem worried about a virus. They’re not social distancing. I know the virus is over,” she added. “They just don’t want to tell us.” I felt judgment rising in me. I wanted to say, “Don’t you see their pain and frustration? Don’t you understand that it is deeper than their fear of the virus?” I also wanted to challenge her statement that the “virus was over.” I wanted to tell her, “That is the stupidest statement I have ever heard.” Lots of questions and answers were on the tip of my tongue but they were reactive and I wanted to respond instead of react. I did not want to let her statement go but I had to ask myself, “How do I share my thought in a non challenging way?” Finally, I said, “I’m not sure the virus is over. The protests have brought massive amounts of people together. I’m going to wait and see what happens with the virus stats in the next couple of weeks.” I did my best to own my thoughts and my feelings and still allow her to have hers. I learned long ago that two people can agree to disagree. It’s possible that both can feel like they have been heard. One does not have to lose so another can win.

It is an art to be able to shift a conversation that is in one place into another, ideally a better, place. The zero-sum rules are not LAWS…it is not like gravity. And yes to you also bringing me into the importance of finding some ground to meet others even if it is only one-sided. Like a Handi-Wipe I can help soak up some of the anger and fear spilling off of others. 2 Reply Ed Schulte10 months agoEd SchulteHowie . I appreciate your eloquence and introspection here.

I love the terminology of “shifting a conversation from one place into another.” 2 Reply Trish10 months agoTrishThe question is Where am I most needed? Part of the answer is to listen deeply to what God wants me to do. 2 Reply 10 months agonot be become irritated with unanswered questions, they will be answered eventually. one has to go her / his path step by step, trusting yet alert. kindness in its many forms is the best answer to all questions ? 6 Reply Michele10 months agoMicheleyour response really resonated with me Verena.
