+ The contemporary
mystic more often than not does not reside in a monastery. The new mystic's
community is that of humanity itself ... /
As a contemporary mystic, you are measured by the quality of attitude
you bring to all your tasks, by your capacity to be a model of generosity, and
by challenging the fear that there is not enough to go around in this world ...
Mystical service means modeling calm in chaos, kindness amid anger, forgiveness
at all times, personal integrity - to live, in other words, mindful that every
second offers a choice either to channel grace or to withhold it.

Inspiration on December 19, 2015.
+ The principle of
compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual
traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated
ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering
of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and
put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human
being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and
respect.
-- First paragraph of
The Charter for Compassion
+ “May we be Loving & Compassionate. “May we be in Service to All.” We depend on
how much we serve each other. The
emphasis on self-fulfillment in recent years has sometimes meant that the
importance of service has been neglected.
It can’t be. We must step up our
efforts to be compassionate. There is no
such thing as Heavenliness
without compassion and service.
As we continue to explore the practice of Heavenliness,
we will explore Love, Compassion & Service for several posts.
+ To get inspired and illuminated by Ed Bastian, I invite
you to set aside some time for these videos:

+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this
practice or any practice. And, I have
