This is a good thread, well addressed. Let there be applause all around. Here I consider only one small piece of it. Jesus said He would be present when two or three were gathered in his name. As I read them, those words are among the more important Teaching lessons in the Gospels. And again as I re...

I have just posted this item at The Gazebo on The Zoo Fence. I am putting it here, too, in the hope that others may want to join in the consideration of this idea. I have recently finished re-reading ACIM 's Text. This is the fifth time I have read the book since we first purchased the set thirty ye...

Very nice stuff. It brings to mind a quotation at TZF’s Eco-Consciousness page: “What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree? The purpose of the giant sequoia tree is to provide shade for the tiny titmouse”. Being naturally egoic, when we think of dance we naturally think of ourselves as being the...

how great it would be to read an original book from the zoofence on the story of Judas Here, in no particular order, are my thoughts about Judas – 1) As I wrote in the book In The Beginning , it has long been my belief that we have thoroughly misunderstood what was going on at the so-called Last Su...

I can feel when the 'me/busybody' is still and a deeper life source is flowing into the world around me, from me and through me. These times lately at work are magical and I feel as though I'm swirling in life, connected in every way to each person and event happening. Is this seeing the oneness? I...

It is enough to be human. In fact, it is Divine.

This evening, Nancy and I watched the 1986 documentary “Mother Teresa” narrated by Richard Attenborough. Watching the film, which closely follows her work in India and in other countries, including the United States, there is no question in my mind that the woman was genuine, that she genuinely beli...

Earlier in this thread, I asked ... What’s the name of the Unity teacher who coined a saying about this? He was minister at a church in New York City, I think. I don’t recall exactly how it goes, but it starts something like, “First, there is a man, then a monument, then a movement, then … “. The na...

Anna is absolutely right in what she has written, and I agree with all of it. However, we need to emphasize that when she writes that our leaving the city life and moving to the woods “was what facilitated the transformation of our closed hearts into open and wiser hearts” (nice image, that), an ope...

jenjulian, I appreciate your sensitivity to The Sand Box ! Although the way you wrote it (“This will probably land this in the Sandbox now”) makes The Sand Box sound a little like a penalty box, which of course it isn’t. And I know that you know that. Anyway, I think we can leave this thread here fo...

An afterthought: For me, the key with building, and learning to rely on, faith has been to live my life as if the Truth were True, and then observe. At first, one should probably do it slowly, say for a short time, even just a month. It’s like the scientific method, start with the hypothesis that th...

Wonderful story! I like every part of it. I particularly like the lesson that the Process is not about becoming a bigger, better, faster, wiser, or even more evolved seed. Rather, you write, “to be that, you must no longer be this”. In my experience, this essential lesson is often missed or misunder...

You wrote, and nicely, “I think we will find that the Spirit which/who manifested as Jesus manifested variously as many, many beings in many times and places. “ And, “But then, I am extremely uncomfortable in any religious service.” Okay, let’s try to merge those two thoughts into one. Speaking as J...

Here's an excerpt from a NY Times article on the subject of the reinstated Latin Mass: "Pope Benedict insists he is not taking the church on a nostalgia trip. He wants to re-energize it, and hopes that the Latin Mass, like an immense celestial object, will exert gravitational pull on the faithf...

For the information of TZFers who may not recognize the names, Carlos Anderson and Johnny Earl had a wonderful singing group (I say “had” because I seem to recall having read that one of them has died). I think their focus, if that's the word, was religious music; at least, that is the way I heard t...
