Channeling the Miraculous

By Debra Basham, on December 27, 2021

The wisdom of all ages and cultures emphasizes the tremendous power our thoughts have over our character and circumstances. ~Liane Cordes

On Christmas Eve I joined a Zoom Interfaith gathering. Jeshua’s message,”You Are the Light That Comes to Transform the Earth,” channeled by Barbara Brodsky, was powerful. Here are a few excerpts:

The One Heart We All Share

By Debra Basham, on November 15, 2021

I just attended a 3-day Vipassana retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr, “The One Heart We All Share.” This was the online description:

What is this one heart we all share? It is our true nature, the essence of our being, which is love and light. Meditation is one effective way of coming […]

Nothing Left to Forgive – COVID

By Debra Basham, on August 30, 2021

Jesus came to teach many things, but forgiveness is chief among them.

And yet with compassion there is nothing left to forgive.

Forgiveness is only needed when there is something held against another, some kind of blame.

When you see deeply into another, that judgment falls away and there is nothing left […]

Warp and Weft

By Debra Basham, on December 18, 2020

This post begins with a reprint of a Sacred Story published December 23, 2017: “Husband’s Clothes:”

“Keeping Quiet”

By Debra Basham, on November 17, 2020

Deep Spring Center Thought for Today

When you stay in the relative reality box, you create the kind of fights with each other, ‘I’m right.’ ‘No, I’m right.’ ‘No, I’m right.’ You can’t hear each other. You become more and more polarized. And this of course is consonant with the lower stages of consciousness, […]

Common Sense: Common Good

By Debra Basham, on November 5, 2020

Just when all the chips are down, the chins should be up.

~ Neale Donald Walsch

This morning I could feel a subtle pull to look at media, but everybody knows as soon as a winner of the Presidential election is resolved, that news will be widely known. So, why participate in any of […]

Someday When

By Debra Basham, on October 27, 2020

There are seasons in a marriage. I’ve heard a therapist say, “Every marriage has cause for divorce.” Not every day. But there are those days. ~ Deborah Berecz, Conflict as Catalyst™ Newsletter October 2020

In an email exchange last evening my dear friend who had asked me about any preference for a Presidential candidate wrote, […]

New Frontiers

By Debra Basham, on September 16, 2020

Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence.

But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that pervades all realms of our being.

~Br. David Steindl-Rast

Today, it is this beautiful planet we call home that calls us home to our hearts. We […]
