+ In the Gratefulness Word for the Day today we are reminded that silence is often the best policy:
“Instead
of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace. Keep silent, refrain from
judgement. This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult and
outrage and will shield your glowing heart against all evil.” -- St. Seraphim
of Sarov

COFFEE BREAK 414
+ Four pages of The Amazing Journey are now posted on The Abundancetrek Blog.
There will be 46 or 47 more pages. I wrote these pages last year with pen and paper and I am slowly putting them into the computer with my keyboard word for word.
Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4
It's the first draft of a book I hope to publish but it would be so much better if YOU contributed. It is the result of years of prayer, contemplation, meditation and study. I got a lot of help from the Heavenly Council so it is already a joint project. I would like it to be the joint project of many fellow adventurers journeying in the Inner Frontier.

COFFEE BREAK 412
+ Peter Russell is amazing. He has a great series posts on Letting Go and how difficult it is. His The Church of I AM has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
+ I am slowly but surely posting the first draft of The Amazing Journey on The Abundancetrek Blog. Today I posted page 4. I have 50 hand written pages of the 12 heavenly practices and the 9 attributes of heaven. I have put the first 11 in to the computer.
Here is what I posted on my Facebook page: WE are on an Amazing Journey. We are intimately, intricately, infinitely connected by a matrix of unconditional, unlimited, uniting LOVE which is miraculous, mysterious and marvelous. #Stillness is the key. Getting in touch with your inner Burning Bush is the gift. Join me. I have written a first draft of about 50 hand written pages. With YOUR help I can make big improvements and make our journey together even more amazing. Comments welcome here or on Facebook where you will find me as Abundancetrek.

+ On FB, Robert Reich posted the following:
"I'm freezing in Chicago. Meanwhile, in Washington, Republicans say they won't extend emergency unemployment benefits unless their cost is offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget. But they won't even consider offsetting the cost by closing tax loopholes for the rich -- such as the "carried interest" loophole that gives hedge-fund and private-equity partners an annual $11 billion tax subsidy, almost twice the cost of extending unemployment benefits. Put this in a larger context and see the pattern: (1) Not only do they oppose extending unemployment benefits, but (2) they oppose any jobs program to put the long-term unemployed to work, (3) they want to cut food stamps, (4) they refuse to raise the minimum wage, and (5) they're determined to kill off unions. Connect the dots and you have a calculated strategy to keep wages as low as possible -- forcing large numbers of Americans to choose between working for peanuts or having nothing at all. Republicans are pushing this strategy because lower wages give their big-business patrons fatter profits (at least in the short term; longer term, they reduce overall demand for goods and services). The strategy is already succeeding: Real median household incomes are now 4.4 percent below what they were at the start of the so-called recovery, and corporate profits are up. Democrats, including Obama, should be calling them out on this strategy. Why aren't they?"
+ Richard Rohr offers "The Contemplative Alternative." Excerpt: “What we are enjoying now is a renaissance of the contemplative mind, the one truly unique alternative mind and heart that religion has to offer the world. Without this new mind, most doctrines, moralities, dogmas, and church structures will almost certainly be misunderstood, misused, and mishandled. Small people make everything small.” | Read it all
+ Robert Reich is very wise, intelligent, informed and compassionate. Recently he offered "The Year of the Great Distribution." It begins: “One of the worst epithets that can be leveled at a politician these days is to call him a 'redistributionist.' Yet 2013 marked one of the biggest redistributions in recent American history. It was a redistribution upward, from average working people to the owners of America.” | Read it all
+ “Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.” -- Mahatma Gandhi

COFFEE BREAK 358
+ What a blog! (PS - It's not mine.) > http://livingstonesweb.blogspot.com/. I love what David Norling wrote on February 1. Here is an excerpt: "I'm currently seeking to find out what it means to feel called to a ministry that doesn't exist, that is, Pastor of Listening. I made up the title and wrote my own job description, at the encouragement of God's spirit, as far as I can tell. I've sought counsel from several pastors. And while most could see the legitimacy of my vision and even my capacity to fulfill it, there seems to be a consensus that the programmatic nature of modern American Christianity can't conceive of the role that I seek to fill." | Read it all
