Creating Stability

The Taurus “I HAVE” influence, during this month, urges us to take another look at what we HAVE. • I lived in a bus, camper or RV for many years and sometimes daily saw a new view outside my living quarters. I learned that “where” I am made no difference in who I am or what my routine was. • I’ve made some life-changing decisions where everything I HAD in my life, disappeared and was replaced with other things. I learned that the material possessions I HAVE...

Finding Stability

When we use the word stability we often know it to mean inflexible and unmovable. The language gives us intractable for this. Stability does not really mean immovable. The mighty oak is immovable but not necessarily stable for in too great a wind it may, for all its mightiness, blow down. The reed standing in the marsh is, in a way, more stable than the oak, for when the gale blows it bends and when the evening calm falls again, it stands up once more, where it stood before. Stability, then,...

TAURUS' 3rd Influence: STABILITY

The influence of STABILITY always seems to start off with a bang. Do you feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under you? Has something happened in your life recently that’s knocked you off your feet? • Were your expectations for acknowledgement un-met? • Were you passed over when you expected to be picked? • Did something happen to stop what you thought would be coming?...

Blissing Out

Watch out for blissing out. It’s often a red herring, often spiritualized ego. Right-minded bliss is quiet. It’s not a big deal; it’s recognized as our natural state, so there’s no need for hoopla. There’s nothing to compare it to, to be especially excited about. Wrong-minded bliss says, “Oh thank God I have overcome that dirty ego, gotten [...]

Email: A Normal Life

Today, in my ongoing efforts to lead a normal life, I have removed my email address from the website. It was simply generating an unmanageable amount of email. What I am asking is for people to post in the Whispers section what they would normally email to me personally (comments, observations, suggestions, kudos, jeers, jokes, thank-yous, [...]

Monastery Rebuild Complete!

After six months of being hacked and rebuilding, hacked and rebuilding, and a little over a month since the monastery’s doors were re-opened on June 1st, I am please to announce the Monastery Rebuild Project is complete! Much behind-the-scenes work has been going on. Monks have been running around the monastery grounds wielding hammers and [...]

Gary Renard Podcast - ep030

Episode 30: Gary starts off by recapping his recent travels, beginning with his extensive appearance tour in Europe. He began in Amsterdam (and tells some VERY interesting stories about that), then moved on to Paris (we can all see it's a tough life for certain spiritual teachers..;-) Next stop, Barcelona, where Gary encountered tremendous enthusiasm for his personal appearances as well as for his books and the Course in general. There is also some discussion regarding the recent ULC (Universal Lightworkers Conference) event in Fort Lauderdale, where Gary was a keynote speaker, and where Gene and Helen performed as part of the ULC musical presentation! Gary then discusses his next upcoming trip, this one to Japan for the first time. And after that, Gary will be off to Hawaii -- not for a speaking engagement -- but for his wedding to Cindy! Gary talks a bit about their plans, and about the nature of their their multi-incarnational relationship; Gary and Gene then extend the discussio
