I was raised, however, in a very conservative Dutch Reformed Church until the age of 12 when the family made this transition. It was quite a shift for my parents, but good for me and my siblings. The commonality of "basic truths" definitely permeates all religions though it takes a while to perceive the simple in the complicated. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm curious what led you to Soltura, but perhaps as I catch up gradually with earlier posts on your site ... I'll find that out. All in good time.<BR/><BR/>On a different subject, McAfee is running a scan of my laptop today causing everything to run S L O W L Y ... so the "pointer" is hard to control currently. When the email notification of your latest comment disappeared unexpectedly as I tried to read it, I worried it had been mistakenly reported as "spam" because I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm relieved it showed up eventually in my "archived" folder. Gmail takes some getting used to after using MSN all these years, but all's well that ends well. I'm learning all the time. ;)<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-30472437256448670312007-11-15T12:27:00.000-08:002007-11-15T12:27:00.000-08:00not surprised you see the connection with "the cou...not surprised you see the connection with "the course of miracles" although technically they are not "related." i have not done "the course" myself, but find that "basic truths" are the same in most spiritual traditions and while soltura is not connected to any one particular tradition, it is without a doubt one of the holiest experiences i have ever been a part of.<BR/><BR/>so simple. so complicated :-)Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-26761243540737535372007-11-14T16:13:00.000-08:002007-11-14T16:13:00.000-08:00LucyGlad you enjoyed the quotes and thanks for the...Lucy<BR/>Glad you enjoyed the quotes and thanks for the encouragement. I'm learning to trust again ... gradually. Reading what you write here about Soltura, I'm reminded of A COURSE IN MIRACLES which defines love as "letting go of fear" ... and it makes me wonder if the two are related in some way or if, like most spiritual traditions, they simple share understanding of basic truths. <BR/><BR/>Chani<BR/>As usual, you're right on target with these observations. Thanks for adding your two cents ... and rest assured, I'm definitely walking through my fears and trusting the process.storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-61490457186900962802007-11-14T12:43:00.000-08:002007-11-14T12:43:00.000-08:00Fear can certainly be immobilizing .. and like eve...Fear can certainly be immobilizing .. and like everything else.. it has something to teach us. The only way to get to the lesson is to walk through it. It takes a lot of faith in the process to motivate us. :)thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-88125244286660588582007-11-14T07:59:00.000-08:002007-11-14T07:59:00.000-08:00i love these quotes. i am not surprised that you ...i love these quotes. i am not surprised that you were drawn to the video and message at the soltura site. life really is about facing fear and taking those steps that we think we could never take. one of the main themes of soltura is that we really only have two choices...we can come from a place of love or we can come from a place of fear. we need both, but the beauty is when we get to make the decision consciously.<BR/><BR/>you have heroicly stepped into your dream of writing right here in your blog. "baby steps", yes. thank you for this reminder and inspiration.Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.com
