INTERSPIRITUAL MEDITATION -- 14

 + This is the twelfth post on Step One of InterSpiritual Meditation: MAY WE BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY

+ Howard Thurman was a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr and many others who found his guidance immensely gratifying.  Here are four of my favorite Howard Thurman quotes and several links including a link to a page with ideas of his and wonderful videos including a 2 hour interview with him (first link):

• Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
• It is a central stillness of spirit that is so vital it can tame the wildness out of almost any tempest.
• In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.
• There are those who have in themselves the gift of joy. Wherever they go, they give birth to joy in others. To be touched by them is to be blessed by God.

+ This is one of a series of posts on InterSpiritualMeditation: A Seven Step Process created by Dr. Edward Bastian. In these posts I and others offer reflections on each of the steps which are:

1. Motivation: “May we be Happy and Healthy.”
2. Gratitude: “May we be Grateful for Life’s Many Gifts.”
3. Transformation: “May we be Transformed into Our Highest Being.”
4. Compassion: “May we be Loving and Compassionate.”
5. Mindfulness: “May we be Mindful through Our Breathing.”
6. Wisdom: “May we Become Wise through our Meditation.”
7. Service: “May we be in Service to All.”

+ I invite you to purchase and read Ed's wonderful books including InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process and Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path -- An InterSpiritual Process.

+ I invite you to join The New Faith for the New Earth Facebook Group where I and group members post and comment on InterSpiritual Wisdom & Practices as well as other topics.
