The Girl Effect is a solution to poverty, where the hope is that, if we do our part, 600 million girls in the developing world will do the rest. The clock is ticking… maybe a 12-year-old girl is the solution the world needs right now.

Article in Kabbalah Today Issue 6: All are One and One is All
To a Kabbalist, it is no secret that the whole of reality exists within us. But there is more to this, for despite the endless variety of minerals, plants, animals, and people that we see around us, Kabbalists say only one creature was created. The only difference between us and the Kabbalists is in how we perceive that single creature. Read the rest of this entry »

Cindy Mead is an imaginative nature photographer based in Northeastern Michigan, and the publisher of the Woodsong Nature Photography Vision Quest Web Journal. In January she posted a thoughtful essay entitled “Retiring into Self.” She begins with this quote from Seneca.
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.

“The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. “It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light….”
. To alert you that you have allowed yourself to be taken over by psychological time, you can use a simple criterion. Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease, and lightness in what I am doing? If there isn’t, then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
. But what we are doing here is part of a profound transformation that is taking place in the collective consciousness of the planet and beyond: the awakening of consciousness from the dream of matter, form, and separation. The ending of time. We are breaking mind patterns that have dominated human life for eons. Mind patterns that have created unimaginable suffering on a vast scale. I am not using the word evil. It is more helpful to call it unconsciousness or insanity.
. Most human relationships consist mainly of minds interacting with each other, not of human beings communicating, being in communion. No relationship can thrive in that way, and that is why there is so much conflict in relationships. When the mind is running your life, conflict, strife, and problems are inevitable. Being in touch with your inner body creates a clear space of no-mind within which the relationship can flower.

In the beginning…..that is how the Old Testament begins… and then the whole story unfolds. But is there anyone of us who really believes that it happened in the exact manner in which the story is told. There may be a few but I would guess most of us moderns believe that the writings are symbolic and not exact descriptions or even closely related to any calendar.
So we accept that the first chapters of the bible were mythological. But where a mistake is made, in my opinion, at the outset of any discussion of a God is that we have bought into a picture of a creator that is made in our image. We begin immediately to ascribe to Him a rationale and mind set that is human.
As Gnostics we have to think outside the box. How can we even suscribe to there being a “beginning” or for that matter an “end?” We shouldn’t try to categorize God as a “Builder Bob” sitting with his set of Leggos, creating the earth, populating it with people, and then walking away letting all types of chaos occur as human beings go about plundering and being plundered.
Has anybody found a church that accepts Gnostic Christianity? I belong to a traditional Christian church because of my desire to spread the news of Christ and have fellowship with others. I am often deeply saddened by the way the gospel, even as it exists in the bible, is twisted to include exclusionary practices, hatred, anger, slander, gossip, at most Christian churches.
It is my prayer, not to walk the path alone, but I often feel lonely. The more I reveal my true feelings, the more lonely I feel. I am wondering how others handle this……………. Does anybody manage to have fellowship with other Gnostic believers? I dream of being at a table encouraged by like minded people!
