Scott Robinson - MANDALA Hide and Seek

“You say you seek God, but a ray of light doesn’t seek the sun; it’s coming from the sun...Because you don’t know that who you are is one with God, you believe all these labels about yourself: I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I’m a wretch, I’m a worm and no man, I’m a monk, I’m a nurse. These are all labels, clothing. They serve a purpose, but they are not who you are. To the extent that you believe these labels, you believe a lie, and you add anguish upon anguish. It’s what most of us do for most… Continue

Rev. Rhetta Morgan The Power of Forgiveness

On this wintry morning, snow invites us inward. Reflection is
supported by the stillness of grey sky and covered earth.

Today, I contemplate forgiveness. This month’s Common Ground theme is love. Forgiveness makes love

Scott Robinson - MANDALA The Noonday Demon

Cognitive psychology has become aware that much depression is maintained, even generated, by getting caught up in negative patterns of thinking. –Martin Laird, Into the Silent Land I struggled with depression for several years. I cannot say for certain how long, because it took me a long time to realize that I was depressed. Like Hamlet, I found weary, stale, flat and unprofitable all the uses of this world, and it took a long time to figure out that the problem wasn’t with the world, bu… Continue

Joachim Francis Vision of strength

Traveling I felt the pull. My soul ached for greater meaning. My eyes wondered searcing for the reason to be here. My soul cried out: "God why do I suffer so?" Then as always, a simple answer..."look to the heavens and you will find Me. Here with you, giving you trials to strengthen you. If everything was easy you would not grow."

I creid as I understood. Everday is not an amazing revalation until we invite it be so. The jobs, the people, the stuff will continue to bombard our

Rev. Rhetta Morgan Love, love, love

The Beatles said, “all you need is love”. An old hymn rings, “For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies, God of love, to you we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. A modern day poet, Judy Lemezis writes, “love runs through it’, in her extraordinary little book including the range of human experience from joyous to tragic. Love runs through our happiness and sadness. Love is the theme for this month’s Sacred Space. Al… Continue

Scott Robinson - MANDALA The Nursery Magic

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you…” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or but by bit?” “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have t… Continue

Rev. Rhetta Morgan Wake Up!

Wake up! What does that mean to you? I don’t think about washing my face in the morning, I just do. I have all kinds of things on my mind so that washing is the backdrop for whatever I'm thinking, or planning. How much of my day has become automatic? Wake Up! In a lucid dream I had many years ago, I realized that I was awake in the sleep realm. Seated on the side of a hill looking out at trees, I began to sing, “I’m awake in a dream”, like a young child would while gloating. Slowly my consci… Continue

Rev. Rhetta Morgan Black Elk Speaks Words of Wisdom

We shared several readings from Earth Prayers by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon. Included in this sharing, are words from the Sioux leader and visionary, Black Elk. Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice. At the center of the sacred hoop You have said that I should make the tree to bloom. With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather, With running eyes I must say The tree has never bloomed. Here I stand, and the tree is withered, Again, I recall the great vision you gave me. It may be that… Continue

Scott Robinson - MANDALA Inukshuks

A friend of mine had a very negative view of marriage. The way she saw it, people treated it too much like a finish line--the ceremony completed, they were “done.” Of course, anyone who has been married for any length of time knows this to be far from true, but the divorce rate being what it is, my friend may have been on to something. People know how to get married, but often don’t give the same attention to making a life together. If people put as much thought into being married as they did in… Continue

Rev. Rhetta Morgan A Vision of Wholeness

The following story is an excerpt from the introduction of, 'What We May Be, Techniques for Psychological and Spiritual Growth Through Psychosynthesis' by Piero Ferrucci. After years of searching, the seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. "Ask the well what is Truth," he was advised, "and the well will reveal it to you." Having found the well, the seeker asked that most fundamental question. And from the depths came the answer, Go to the village crossroad: there you s… Continue

Scott Robinson - MANDALA Another Growth Opportunity

At the end of the 2008-2009 academic year, I left my job at Eastern University, a small Christian liberal arts institution on Philadelphia's Main Line. Having been adjunct faculty for ten years with no visible prospect of advancement, I decided that my time and energy would be better spent elsewhere. That much was relatively easy. The difficult part is that I have no idea yet where "elsewhere" is, or what I'm meant to be doing there. So what I'm doing here is journaling my midlife crisis--worki… Continue

The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked.

Rev. Rhetta Morgan Prayers for the people of Haiti

This morning we joined our hearts and minds to be a place of compassion for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We prayed that their needs are met by a caring world and that even some of the long term concerns of the region get addressed because of the attention received. We prayed that they will have a quiet night’s rest. We prayed that many answer the call to offer solace to the grieving, on a short and long term basis. We envisioned the slow and steady rebuilding process; that there are many i… Continue

Rev. Rhetta Morgan A Marianne Williamson quote

As we continue to focus on the Common Ground monthly theme of vision and possibilities, this morning we shared the Marianne Williamson quote- “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing… Continue
