I’ve started reading a new book today—“Wake Up Call: Daily insights for the spiritually curious” by Tom Rapsas. Many thanks to the people at Wildhouse Publications for sending me a review copy of the book. I’ll post here as I read, then let you know when the full review is up on my website and podcast. #AmReading#Spirituality#BookReview#SpiritualBNR
@Shyji Thank you, Heather! I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the offer of an interview, but I don't have guests on my podcast—it's a very personal solo endeavor. I'm just sharing as I go to help others know that they are not alone. I encourage you to keep spreading light and love wherever you go.
This quote from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" sums up much of what I have learned so far in my spiritual journey. Realizing that our thoughts and perceptions are a consequence of all that we have experienced in life, that they are malleable and do not define us, is key to letting go of judgment and accepting others as they are. It's also key to accepting the world as it is and ceding the fallacy of control.
@BrooklynZoo Hello and welcome to Mastodon! I'm glad you find my posts interesting. Your angels photo is beautiful and does evoke the words of Ezekiel.
@BrooklynZoo I understand your idea of elders judging right and wrong, but the way I understand things differs a bit. Society deems certain behaviors right and others wrong because certain behaviors are a danger to the people and the ways of their society. The elders I think of—the prophets like Buddha and Jesus—were not there to judge, but to lead. They were teachers, leading people towards inner peace, love, acceptance, and understanding.
