"In this unity of heaven and earth—the action of being incorporated—is the essence and origin of true agreement."

Sanford Baran: Do you ever hear the voice of spirit? I do.
Indeed, spirit does speak to us—a lot! It’s heard as there is sufficient attentiveness and substance to be aware of it, and intentionality is critical. The voice of spirit can be easily drowned out by mental chatter, stuff rattling around in consciousness, which can muffle and obscure our connection to this profound reality that speaks to us all the time.

Happy equinox, everybody! In Planet Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, it is early spring; in the Southern, early autumn. There are lights in the firmament of heaven, according to the Book of Genesis, which are “for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” We live and move and have our being in a vast orderly context. People recognize this to some extent and are awed by the heavens. Those with more heavenly awareness know they are part of it all and are not small.

Christina Pivarnik: It is always a joy to gather together in our true purpose, to bring forth radiance and love as a collective. Over the past few years, we’ve been participating in dialogues every other time we gather. During these times we’ve shared our hearts and the experiences of our daily lives to honor our deepest love for our Creator. There’s a fresh spirit of family that’s arisen among us—a new depth of love, laughter and lightness, welcoming all who gather to participate in this precious work we’ve come on earth to do. As a result, we’ve gotten to know one another better in our spiritual journeys together and the work we’re each doing to fulfill our spiritual mission. Such a gift!

Bill Isaacs: In 1922 T.S. Eliot wrote the epic poem The Waste Land, arguably one of the most influential pieces of writing of the 20th century. The 1920’s reputedly were a period of roaring accomplishments but were in actuality a mix of swirling heights and looming shadows of what was to come. A young Eliot (he was 33 at the time) wrote a remarkable poem that described the mood of decay and the spiritual ills of modern Europe. It narrates the difficulties even as it seeks to find a way out of them. I think it’s useful to think of this now because the age in which Eliot wrote has its echoes in our time. People today are feeling a similar kind of angst, of coming challenge, replete with modern words to describe it, like “climate anxiety” and the “polycrisis,” a condition of systemic disease where everything collapses together in a tangled mess of troubles.
