It will be a joy to hold Iris' new teaching effort in the Light. MAYBE RantWoman will get around to reading more of what is here. And we won't even talk about which parts of this are available in accessible formats or which parts RantWoman should just enjoy aloud because she will not have time to read the whole thing anyway.


How do you define your calling?

Viv Hawkins in the Facebook-based Friends' Spiritual Accountability Group
Today's daily meditation from Inward/ Outward of the Church of the Saviour in DC seems to me to apply to spiritual accountability and the plausibility structures an ongoing group can create to support faithfulness. Some might call it "taking up one's cross."

Going Up the Stream
"Because those who enter the kingdom must enter as individuals, the way to the kingdom is never the path of least resistance but a narrow, difficult and winding way. As long as a person is identical with a group consciousness, he or she follows the easiest road, inclining to those instincts, attitudes and mass movements that are the easiest to follow at the time. An individual set against the group consciousness, however, begins to swim up the stream instead of down and suffers the pain and difficulty of becoming conscious, no longer able to hide from anxiety in a mass identity. Anxiety is inevitable for those who enter into the kingdom."

RantWoman is unclear how well these items intertwine and is led to save them just in the folder of the day, along with reflections about time, different media streams and how we weave things among media streams through face-to-face sharing. But RantWoman has to hold this while trying to go back to work!
