God as verb

If ants thought about God they would surely think of God as an ant – admittedly in a much grander form. And if elephants thought about God, surely they would think of God as some kind of super-pachyderm. While fully realizing this dynamic, human beings, for all our much vaunted intelligence, never seem to have quite got the point. We still persist in thinking of God as a person, purged of at least the more obvious vices and limitations, but still fundamentally just a human being enlarged.

It’s equally true that many of the more fanatical religious believers desperately want to hold on to that small kind of God as described in their scriptures.

The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude

Take this moment to be present with how you are feeling. Notice your breath, your posture, and the subtle or extreme feelings of comfort or discomfort in your body. Did you know your body is speaking to you? Have you ever considered that symptoms are actually a language? If so, have you ever considered why your body is talking to you? What is it saying that is so urgent for you to know in this moment?

Every mechanism of the body, ranging from respiration, immunity, hormone regulation, digestion, m uscle tone, and the rate at which your heart beats, are part of this running dialogue. But if you don’t speak the language, creating dialogue is next to impossible. So, here we are, people suffering with symptoms like raging headaches. Instead of taking time to actually listen to the underlying meaning of the headache, many people’s first response is to dull the pain with an aspirin. And you can’t blame them. I remember seeing a commercial that stated, “For the normal morning headache, take two Bayer aspirin.” It’s almost as if we’re not normal when we don’t awaken with a headache.

 

Interview with Barbara Marx Hubbard

by Cate Montana

TGI - You are in a unique position after dedicating 40 years of intense work and focus to understanding and assisting human evolution. From your perspective, how are we doing?

Barbara - My basic metaphor of our crisis is birth. I saw that 40 years ago. What's happened in this metaphor is that the crisis has matured; the crisis has advanced in the sense that now it's more obvious what isn't working. With global warming, with the failure of war to win anything, with the failure of many forms of our civilization, it's more obvious what’s breaking down.

From the point of view of the crisis as a birth, we’re getting closer and closer to what that birth might be. The crisis is accelerating. The breakdowns are accelerating, and the emergent capacities and the emergent consciousness is accelerating very fast as well. Will there be sufficient global awakening before the collapse becomes totally chaotic? I believe that it is out of this chaos that something new can emerge. The new is emerging, and I think it needs only one more degree of connectivity and self-awareness as a whole for us to be able to experience a jump in consciousness collectively. So I actually think things are going very well and the timing is very close and very precise for the collective awakening.



The Secret Spiritual World of Children

by Etan Boritzer

Most of us understand that we cannot physically see beyond the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, for instance, to the edge of the infrared or the ultra violet. Accepting this, it might not be too much of a leap to realize that we may also be missing something – like being able to see or hear other beings that might actually be around us.

This is the basic premise that – if you accept it - will enable you to give Dr. Tobin Hart’s remarkable book, The Secret Spiritual World of Children, a credible read.

A Psychologist and Associate Professor of psychology at the State University of West Georgia, in Carrolton, GA, Hart started on the trail of collecting startling otherworldly anecdotes from children ten years ago when his then seven year-old daughter Haley, in a matter-of-fact bedtime conversation, revealed to him how she saw her “angel” and described their interactions. During his research he also collected accounts from adults who, for the first time, revealed their own similar but hidden childhood experiences.
