Awakening

Soul Work: Awakening to My Slippery

June 20, 2018 by Linda A Marshall 5 Comments

Spiritual realization is simply awakening to a direct stable perception that all beings are already and only the one Beingness of all things. … Full enlightenment isn’t required, but an intuition of this orientation is a necessary foundation for a healthy relationship to soul work.   ~Terry Patten Our Integral Spirituality Book Study Group chose Terry […]

On NOT Being “Humor Challenged” … Seriously

May 31, 2017 by Linda A Marshall 8 Comments

“…the Spirit prays for us with groans too deep for words.” ~Romans 8:26b If the Spirit prays with groans too deep for words, then I’m okay with my moans and groans about writing on the topic of “happiness.” Writing is for me a spiritual practice … writing letters to the Divine in my journal is […]
