In-tension or Intention

By Debra Basham, on June 16, 2020

As you speak, so you see As you see, so you share As you share, so you become

I am on retreat, and am living the spirit of the law (rather than the letter of the law) by writing a blog post. This intensive / retreat is the culmination of a two-year “Path of […]

A Time for Cherishing

By Debra Basham, on May 18, 2020

When you are in complete alignment with your authentic self, you will attract everything you desire in life. ~Brahma Kumaris

Last week I heard again the message from Aaron, “If you were not ready, you would not have taken birth at this time…. You did not come to fail…. Are ready to trust your heritage […]

It Hurts

By Debra Basham, on May 3, 2020

Old doors close so new ones can open. Don’t get stuck on what fell apart just because it hurts. Transformation requires growth and letting go.

~Brahma Kumaris Thought for Today

My friend, Kathy, lost her husband on January 18, 2020. She had been his care-giver. Their home was visited almost daily by friends and […]

Liberation

By Debra Basham, on July 9, 2019

Deep Spring Center Thought for Today

“I would ask you not to settle for anything less than liberation, and yet not to hurry toward it, but to know that if you practice with sincerity, love, and courage, it will come. May the way be very beautiful for you. May you find freedom and peace.” […]

Learn the Tables

By Debra Basham, on April 22, 2019

Recently I wrote a poem titled ‘Longing’ that was inspired by an exchange with a dear friend that left me feeling less than valued, wondering if I should have, or could have, done something differently in our past to allow for a more pleasant current exchange.

Sitting heart-to-heart with another precious friend a week […]

Acceptance

By Debra Basham, on February 17, 2019

I am still doing morning ‘writing down your soul’ pages. This morning’s entry dealt with my sleeping with a bed hog. From my journal:

This morning as I got up, I again showed John how he pushes me over to a 12-inch slot of bed. I find that very unrestful.

I asked what […]

Happy New You!

By Debra Basham, on January 1, 2019

Most people will be wishing you a happy new year today, but I am wishing all beings a happy new YOU.

Attributing the saying that “Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be” did not happen until 50 years after Abraham Lincoln’s death. Dr. Frank Crane included the […]

Filter Bubbles

By Debra Basham, on August 19, 2018

The one you seek, is the one who seeks. Therefore, It’s not “I” who reads spiritual books; it is not “I” who sits ZAZEN, paying attention to body, BREATH, and mind. IT is not “I” who let’s go of everything, but THIS, only THIS! ~ Jerry Ashmore, posted in Empty Circle Zen Group

Daily Inspiration

WORD FOR THE DAY

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world that is the myth of the “atomic age” as in being able to remake ourselves.

My Side

By Debra Basham, on February 12, 2017

Where has the month of February gone? I know one week of it was spent with a friend who was going through a painful time. Without sharing personal details, suffice it to say, it is easy for some people to pretend they are something they are not.

What did “he” think? For sure, he […]
