    Episode 22: Matthew 5: 27-28
    Jul 8 2019
    Matthew 5:27-28 (KJV): Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Each deed performed, however secretly, leaves its impression somewhere. Our lives unfold, and in-fold, at a number of different levels: We have our public personas, our private lives, and our secret selves. Those with whom we are most intimate dwell with us in our private worlds. They see our faults and shortcomings. They know that we often fail to live up to the images that we project - the people we hope to be seen as in the world. Those who are privy to our private selves may witness some of our struggles, but they also see our complexities, our depths, our efforts; those with whom we are most intimate may also be more aware of the hidden goodness, the kindnesses, the little unselfish gestures that weave through our days. I had a friend that c

    Episode 21: 1 Corinthians 12: 12-14
    Jul 1 2019
    1 Corinthians 12:12-14: For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. The Diamond Sutra states that there is no self, no human being, no living being, and no lifespan. Its longer name is The Diamond that Cuts Through Illusion because it cuts through these four illusory concepts of self, human being, living being, and lifespan. For example, we don’t think of magnesium as a living being, but listen to what the National Institute of Health says, “Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps regulate blood glucose levels

    Episode 20: Numbers 3: 23-26
    Jun 24 2019
    Numbers 3:23-26:  The clans of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle on the west, with Eliasaph son of Lael as head of the ancestral house of the Gershonites. The responsibility of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting was to be the tabernacle, the tent with its covering, the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the hangings of the court, the screen for the entrance of the court that is around the tabernacle and the altar, and its cords—all the service pertaining to these. Nobody reads Numbers. Why would they? In the deep mythology of the Judeo-Christian tradition, we have the tabernacle or arc of the covenant wherein unfathomably dwells the Source/Creator/Great Sacredness in all its majesty and terribleness (see also Exodus 25). Imagine having the Mysterium Tremendum in the box; the seed of the Big Bang in a jar. In Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, it says that there is this Tremendous Power belonging to no one, but available to everyon
