The Path to Peace

By Debra Basham, on May 17, 2021

If it happens, it needs to occur. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

Jerry Ashmore, senior dharma teacher at Empty Circle Zen center in Hobart, Indiana, said simply, “If we don’t clear our stuff how can we help others?”

But how do we know what our stuff is? We can pay attention to the tendency we […]

What Else Is

By Debra Basham, on May 13, 2021

The definition of complaining is the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.

A popular phrase is to speak of an undesired state (for example, complaining) as your eating rat poison expecting the rat to die. It is not always obvious, but our emotional state has myriad influences on US.

Often, John and I […]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

By Debra Basham, on January 25, 2021

This post might be considered “The High Road Part 2.”

I learned to think of re-spect as the willing to look again and again.

I am not attending an eight-day workshop Healing and the Everhealed with Barbara Brodsky (January 23-30). It was very odd to not be guided to attend, especially given that my […]

It’s Perfect!

By Debra Basham, on January 11, 2021

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

~Antoine de St. Exupéry

Yesterday afternoon I attended Remembering Wholeness with The Mother, a divine feminine being channeled by Barbara Brodsky. The opening comments tied right in with a previous evening’s conversation about some ongoing pain. […]

2021 – A True Spiritual Path

By Debra Basham, on December 31, 2020

Deep Spring Center Thought for Today December 31, 2020

So often beings have a limited view of spiritual life that creates a duality in themselves, so that they only see themselves as ‘being spiritual’ when they’re being kind and loving.

When painful emotions arise, then they think, ‘I am no longer being spiritual. I […]

What Remains is Enough

By Debra Basham, on December 3, 2020

There’s going to be pain that feels overwhelming. There are going to be situations that come up where we just suddenly freeze up and say, “I don’t know how to do this.”

~ Barbara Brodsky

This is certainly a time of accepting what is and knowing that what is, is enough. The current version […]

Awaken the New Species

By Debra Basham, on November 1, 2020

We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles but for the grace to transform them.

~ Simone Weil

Yesterday John did not mention my blog post, so I did not share it with him. I watched the choice points for stories to arise: he doesn’t really care; he still does not value what […]

Mercury Retrograde! October 14 – November 3

By Debra Basham, on October 14, 2020

Belief can be overrated. If one did not believe in gravity, would gravity still have an effect? Of course, it would. It is likely that astrological influences are having an effect on us in much the same way.

Mercury went retrograde on October 14, where it will stay through November 3.

Tuesday, November […]

Let it Shine!

By Debra Basham, on October 10, 2020

We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of […]

Big Fires

By Debra Basham, on September 23, 2020

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

~ John Burroughs

Several individuals expressed feeling depressed with all that is going on right now. I mentioned how the uncertainty shifts us into the sympathetic nervous system – fight, flight, or freeze.

Some people are said […]
