WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ Continuing with the 12 styles of the Mandalaprocess, we are exploring the style of Imagination.
+ In strikingly
configured yet universal patterns, dreams, symbols, and mandalas speak to us
from deep within our subconscious of the new and yet timeless becomings.
+ My friend Naomi Kelly offered this quote recently when
taking the Mandala
Spiritual Paths course online. She is a strong advocate of the style of
Imagination. During the course she wrote:
Star Trek, Aslan
the Lion in the Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars, imaginative TV stories,
movies, books - fantasy and
science fiction, all have teachings to offer, or help me make connections with
the spiritual.
Cynthia Bourgeault
talks about the Kingdom of Heaven as the imaginal realm - (something from
Sufism I think she said)
So the trinity is an image of three that dance together to self empty and self
fill - an out flowing of love
into an acceptance of love. I am a part of that great dance, (when I’m paying attention of
course.)
The Celtic Cross is
a great image, of the cross encircled by the world - nature encircling this
instrument of death that
becomes life giving.
Naomi is a Spiritual Director offering inspiration
imaginatively at the Weaving Home website & on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Weaving-Home-1475482059416104
