SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 284

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS

+ This is a post on the style of The Way of Relationships as we continue to explore Heavenliness through the lens of the 12 styles of the Mandala process created by Edward Bastian.  There is 1 more Mandala style to explore after this one: Wisdom. After that, we move on to the 9 Attributes of Heaven.

+ See the light in others and treat them as if that is all you see.

-- Dr. Wayne Dyer

This was the OneSpirit daily inspiration for September 30, 2016.

+ Probably all of us have had encounters with people who treat us as if we are the only person that matters even if they are the kind of people who teach and inspire dozens or hundreds or even thousand s of people.  That is an attainable ideal we can achieve if we work at it. I like to say: “I am the Light of the World” coupled with “You are the Light of the World” and you are. Let us build an increasingly shining community of humanity and all creatures through our compassionate relationships as we practice, practice, practice heavenliness breath after breath, day after day.

+ The 12 styles of Mandala: Creating An Authentic Spiritual Path: An InterSpiritual Process by Edward Bastian are listed in SE206.

+ The 7 steps of InterSpiritual Meditation by Edward Bastian are listed in SE21 and SE213. They are described fully in his book, InterSpiritual Meditation. 

+ To get inspired and illuminated by Ed Bastian, I invite you to set aside some time for these videos:  Seven Steps of InterSpiritual Meditation (11 minutes) | 15 minute introduction to InterSpiritual Meditation and the Mandala Process | 2 hour lecture & conversation

+ Spirituality & Practice offers abundant resources on the practices of Love & Compassion: The Practice of Love | The 12s Gallery on Love | The Practice of Compassion | The 12s Gallery on Compassion

+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this practice or any practice.  And, I have work to do on my Heavenliness page.  Maybe you can help.  Send an email with the subject “Heavenliness” or “Love” or “Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.
