We all have these experiences of self-consciousness when doing something new. Bike riding. Dancing. Praying. Blogging. Marisa sends me an email giving me instructions on how to start bloggin here. I am glad that I have initial company in this with Rev Bev. I don’t know this Sam Folin guy, but if he’s hanging with the likes of Bev and Marisa, he can’t be half bad.
Lots of spiritual things begin with self consciousness, which is funny, since the goal is a sort of other consciousness. So that’s where I start here, not knowing where it will go–both literally and figuratively. Who will join us? –JD

Consciousness…hmm-m-m. Today’s speaker in the “Christians in Dialogue” series at the CA House was Muslim. She said that when Muslims practice justice it is equated with a God-consciousness. And, she said the prayer (5X daily) is to heighten God-consciousness. I love that idea. The more we envision justice, and act on it, the more our minds are opened to a new consciousness, a new way of being and seeing. Yes!

Fear not! the Holy spirit is here, and the sword (justice) is swift. We (Americans) will feel it.. Greed is not acceptable at any level. Today, Turkey pays $9.50 a gallon for gas..Britain $7.88 a gallon. This is not about oil, this is about inequality.. Let’s be pluralistic to new ways of beliefs and be mindful as well of our existance in the world and where we take. Be diligent, Be discerning…Trust in the Holy Spirit, God is Love.
