Dear Holy Spirit,
I am awake and in the TV room listening to Karen Drucker’s “I Surrender.”
I will surrender to my greatest highest good.
I will release every fear that’s in my way…
and I am grateful every moment of […]

If you live in the moment with fear, ‘What if this doesn’t work? What if that happens?’, your fear contracts your energy field.
When thusly contracted, the light can’t pour out of you.
Equally important, you are armored and the radiance of the outside world cannot pour in. ~ Aaron

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:

By Debra Basham, on December 22, 2021 When my eyes fill with wonder and my heart with love or joy, I do not betray my concerns for the world — I nourish my capacity to attend to them.

I confess to recently having looked into the mirror and noticing a drooping of my jowls, deep crevasses of […]
By Debra Basham, on December 10, 2021 We are enjoying wonderful weather here on Pine Island. Whether the weather is pleasant or unpleasant, John and I continue to navigate some challenging physical stuff.
John started with planting a mum early November in Michigan’s hard autumn ground. Stepping on the shovel with his right leg, he felt a pop in his low […]
By Debra Basham, on December 3, 2021 Tuesday evening while still in the post-overnight-drive malaise, I tried to log on as Zoom host for our Dharma Path class.

~Susan Griffin

While darkness drapes the sky, I am listening to an amazing Lion’s Roar interview with […]
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 […]
By Debra Basham, on November 4, 2021 “Just because we are afraid doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Doesn’t mean a mistake is being made. Doesn’t even mean, necessarily, we’re in danger.”
