Sharing this blog-sibling’s wonderful article, linking back to a 2015 article here at Sophia’s Children when I mentioned an InterSpiritual gathering just after last year’s Aries New Moon (late April 2015).
I’m loving the first image here … an image speaks a thousand words, and then some.
Spiritual warriors in each generation … or each ‘volunteer-soul wave’, as Dolores Cannon called it … have helped to contribute to, seed, explore these possibilities, helping to create a layer of foundation (both material and energetic, seen and unseen).
They, and perhaps we, explore into different possibilities, inquire into various questions and possibilities, looking for common threads to weave a bridge over the chasm of what divides us.
This particular InterSpiritual perspective offers just one thread or possibility in an ongoing, emerging conversation.
See what it stirs for you.
Big Love,
Jamie

Thank you for this share Jamie… Many are now re-awakening and re-evaluating.. 🙂

That’d be in sync with the Aquarian Age virtues and values, wouldn’t it. 🙂 That the conversations, experiments, and explorations are happening is hopeful and encouraging (whether I agree with every last bit of each of those conversations or not!). xoxo Love, Jamie

I have been thinking about interspirituality a lot lately. Hard to believe it has been less than a year since the conference.

It’s pretty wild, isn’t it Joanne? For me, on one hand it feels like just a few months ago, and on the other, it feels like quite awhile ago. And/both. 🙂 It’d be wonderful to explore the possibilities and conversation, not necessarily *only* via the model that Kurt was presenting (drawing deeply from the Advaita-Vedanta tradition) but also other possibilities, too (like drawing from early/mystic Christianity, or Jesianity!). xoxo Jamie

It’s too bad that there wasn’t more follow-up after the conference. Maybe something will spring forth, as you suggest?

Could be, Joanne. I’ve been ‘nudging’ here and there, but even calling together a ‘conversation salon’ for ongoing dialogue and exploration (not a committee or planning group, though I think you’ll know what I mean!). Stay tuned … 🙂 xoxo Jamie

A salon would be great! Each person could share insights and experiences without having to stay within a certain framework or approach.

Sounds like there’s an inspiration stirring, then. I like the ‘salon’ approach, too … and very Feminine (I think of the conversation salons of old, like those of Margaret Fuller, etc.! 🙂

One of my poet-friends is thinking of convening salons at some point. Perhaps it is an old tradition ripe for resurgence.

That’d be lovely to have a resurgence of the conversation salon tradition!
