A Media Community Integrating Spirituality, Democracy, Ethics
Peace from the Watcher
I am a newbie on the Eckart Tolle path, but have already found moments of indescribable joy and peace in the practice. As I become the "watcher" of my thoughts (too frequently persevering, planning, and avoiding pitfalls) I find I can achieve a little distance, if for only a moment, and my internal planets begin the journey of realigning with a different spiritual universe.
In this day of hope rising from the new leadership in Washington and from the other Cheney-led side with all of its verbal waterboarding, and amidst the struggle for the decency of the American spirit, it is priceless to find a moment of peace within. We are on the razor's edge of change and being awake, if only briefly, causes my spirit to soar.

Beautifully written Vicki! By the way the term ecstasy means "to stand outside oneself."
Soulfully,
Chuck
About
The Free Souls Connection
The Free Souls Connection is an initiative of the Free Souls Project with the intention of cultivating a community of Progressive media producers and users in the areas of Spirituality, Democracy and Ethics.
We invite original written, audio, and video creations in the lineage of Spiritual Humanism, the wellspring of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, forming the basis for a healthy integration of Spirituality, Democracy, and Ethics.
Rev. Theodore Parker expresses this trinity of American values marvelously. “There is what I call the American idea…a democracy, that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; for shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.”
Come Ministers, Radio Hosts, Musicians, Poets, Bloggers, Cartoonists, Commentators and all artists for the common good!
Let us support, nurture, encourage, and commune with one other and our sacred world.
