I love waking up laughing & “spiritual Roomba” almost rolled me out of bed. I never had one but a friend did & it just cracked me up, zooming around bouncing into & off of everything.
Then I realized it was a mechanical version of me when I was drinking & laughed even harder. Then I got sober & finally realized i was still doing it. Didn’t laugh at that.
Started exploring how to stop it & what the hell to substitute for it.
The rest of this beauty piece of writing gives me the map. There’s way too much in it for me to even try to have for breakfast today. I need many dips in this jacuzzi (aka bath tub in my house) to absorb & digest. Hope is fluttering at the window like a crazed bluejay & for that i toss a huge ball of gratitude your way instead of slamming into you like a Roomba. 👏🙂↕️😶🌫️🫶
You just exposed 50 years of one of my very favorite self-delusions. Thank you 🙏
“When you’re in sensitive energy, your attention is glued to the object of your fascination. You’ve merged, but you’ve also vanished. You’re not awake; you’re just beautifully possessed.
Most spiritual junkies stop here. They confuse the rush for the revelation”
This also points to the fascination I had with other people I was “learning & growing” with during my long life … people I thought I was journeying with to a Higher Place. But it was just plain and simply … unconscious, mutual self-delusion. We were playing pretend.
I just wrote very long response seems to have disappeared before I hit send. Will try to find. Don’t know if my unsent replies exist anywhere. Can only assume I wasn’t meant to pour out my heart right now. Probably connected to me trying to remain humble. I struggle because I have so much joy I want to share all the synchronicities and mini- miracles happening every day. I struggle to know with whom I can speak my experiences. I’ll go mediate after I eat. Love to all sharing our journeys.
I hate it when that happens (have no idea how to find a disappearing response, still learning technology lol. Just assume it wasn’t suppose to be shared but not saying that’s truth.). Hate it for you tho. 🙏
Thank you. I saw your reply quickly fly by the other day then suddenly couldn’t find it! Imagine my delight just now at seeing it again and being able to acknowledge your compassion! Especially when I spent 30 + minutes on line with AT&T today trying to change my email. I kept getting caught up in 2nd and 3rd verifications to prove I’m me. A new game called match the two images, except they don’t tell you the images aren’t exactly the same…just similar shapes. I finally gave-up, took a break, muttering to myself, stay calm, shake it off. I’ll try again tomorrow. I think what’s most infuriating is that I could never get a live person to ask for help. Our lives are being managed now by incompetent, uncaring, unfeeling, bots.
Science of Mind teaches that aligning our minds with the Divine Presence (God) is when “miracles” happen.
Jesus aligned his own mind with the Divine Presence. It’s what his teachings were about. As he was, so can we be. We are limitless when we learn to align our minds with Spirit.
This is the most straightforward description I’ve ever read of the layers of being. Me? Often stuck in #2. It’s my natural craving for stimulation. “Feeling Spiritual “
I've always thought the job of a writer is to pay attention, but now I believe paying attention is everyone's calling.
Excellent. I particularly love tis line: "Blessed be the ones who can hold still while God changes the light bulb."
Ditto.
I've experienced it, but I don't know how to explain it. This is the best I've seen yet. Thank you 💕
Same.
I had a mentor who advised me to, “Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to”. As you said, it comes & goes many times a day.
“Don’t make it holy. Just make it visible.” Such simple, yet powerful words. I am. I exist because I know I exist. I see that I exist.
🌅Many thanks for your steady guidance, sweet Brother Virge.🍂

Bless you! Do you know “Anam Cara?” I think we are ones!!!
I now know what the name for it is….& I would definitely agree 💞

Truer words have never been spoken & if they have, the bots have stolen them & hidden them somewhere inaccessible

Your words light up the paradox beautifully, sacred and sly all at once.
Awareness over intensity… that’s a teaching I’ll be re-reading more than once.
“Stop chasing the zone, start living awake” ... that one lands deep.
Science of Mind teaches that aligning our minds with the Divine Presence (God) is when “miracles” happen.
Jesus aligned his own mind with the Divine Presence. It’s what his teachings were about. As he was, so can we be. We are limitless when we learn to align our minds with Spirit.
Seeing the afterglow 🕯️
This is GREAT

This may be my fav VMB article yet.
And this is it. Living holy. Understanding this is transformative. Thank you.
