Ageless Wisdom is a non-religious approach to spirituality, the nature
of the Soul, and the development of consciousness. Also known as the

human Souls incarnate."

find effective ways to make a difference in the world. Thus the mission
of Connections is to tell these stories."

Nerd Gerl's Angel Art
"I
will either re-discover what I and a few others have witnessed to be
true, or, I will create a bizarre memoir of an adventure into my own
mind. ...Throughout history, artists have portrayed angels... My first
experience with angels was in 1990-1991 and I'll never forget it.."

long, and almost nobody gets to see them."

Losing
Yourself in the Divine: Creativity as a Spiritual Practice by Lucia
Capacchione, Ph.D., A.T.R.
"When you create you lose
yourself
in your creation. Time seems to stand still and all else is forgotten.
You participate in the divine
play
that is creativity. These moments offer a glimpse of who you really are:
a being fashioned in the
image
and
likeness of God. Like the source of all creation, you are a creator,
too."
On Spiritual
Maturity
by Mary Rocamora
"As we go deeper
into
the
field of awareness, we encounter the mutable, seemingly paradoxical
nature
of the structure of the inner world and our movement through it, going
from trapped states to free states. What used to feel true now feels
like
it's just an old story, repetitious and confining. Awareness, we begin
to see, is less and less interested in the known than it is in
exploring
how life could be experienced in the vast unknown of now."
On
the Borderland by Jerome Bernstein "Everything animate
& inanimate has within it a spirit dimension and communicates in
that
dimension to those who can listen." // "I felt the mystery that was
unfolding
my life to me. I mused: 'What is a fat little Jewish boy from southwest
Washington, DC, doing at this ancient holy place at the edge of the
world,
immersed in Hopi and Navajo religion and healing?'"
Spirituality
and the Highly Gifted Adolescent by Stephanie S. Tolan
"Writing about
spirituality
and highly gifted adolescents is a daunting task. It has often been
said
that individuals at the high end of the intellectual continuum vary
from
each other more than any other group, regardless of age. Extreme
variation
is true for abilities, passions, personality, temperament,
social/emotional
issues and life experience. It may be especially true about
spirituality,
which partakes of all those other differences and is so fundamentally
personal."
Starting
On My Spiritual Path by Naomi Wolf
Why do we participate in
Spiritual
Journeys and Retreats? - by Dr. Sheri A. Rosenthal
We lead very busy lives these days, and our attention is pulled in so
many directions. It is so easy to walk through our lives absolutely
asleep. This lack of awareness and the tendency to put the computer of
our minds on auto-drive, helps create life situations that are not
pleasant, not beautiful... That is where the retreats and journeys
enter into the picture! You get to experience life in a totally
different way to see with different eyes.
