Blogs are personal. This is what makes them different from an online soapbox. People read blogs to learn more about the author and, in the process, more about themselves. The more candid a blog is, the more compelling, and therefor more valuable.
We have all experienced spiritual initiation. This is our forum. Our conversation here is unique, because it's not just how we are using the Teachings, but how we are incorporating the experience of initiation in our lives. By sharing, we can energize these experiences both in ourselves and in others.
One can find all manner of instruction and advice elsewhere on the Web, but this blog is not about that. Here we want to share with each other what's going on in our inner life, how we are coping, and what we are experiencing. Rather than discuss our opinions about the Teachings (which is fine in other venues) we want to tell our story - our insights, our challenges, our victories, our defeats. I believe that such sharing could be enormously valuable for each one of us. I know it will be for me.
Here are some prompts. You will probably have some of your own, but these are merely suggestions to help get the ball rolling:
- What is my experience of Self?
- How am I using the Law?
- Am I being compassionate?
- What's going on for me on the Other Side?
- What sustains me now?
- Where am I heading?
I hope this blog develops into something potent, something we can all contribute to. If you don't want to post a separate topic, please do comment on what someone else has posted by clicking on the comment button at the bottom of the post.
