Divine Love Sanctuary Forum

And on the subject of science and divine love, here is something similar from a different source. Sr Ilia Delio is a Franciscan nun with PhDs in pharmacology and theology. She is a scholar of Teilhard de Chardin, a Jesuit priest and paleontologist who connected God, the universe, and evolution in a ...

Thanks Eva! I haven't watched the video you posted (yet), but as a result of your post, did find another from Tom Campbell called the 3 Paths of Spiritual Growth . There was a timely message in that video for me. The two snippets I pulled out: "If you are just trying and trying and nothing is happen...

I wonder if the SAND (Science & Nonduality) folks would be interested in hearing about the Padgett messages? Their next conference is in October in San Jose, CA: https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/sand19-us/propose-a-presentation/ Abstracts are invited on any aspect related to science and nonduali...

Ha ha Geoff ... already ahead of you. :) I found your link to it on your Richard Rohr thread and have already read it. This may or may not surprise you, but I actually took a class in Kriya yoga a few years back before I found Christian mysticism! At this point, I'm thinking it turned out well that ...

Oh, I have read much of the Padgett messages and I concur with you re the differences!

Here's what they say they believe ... sure seems like a church I'd like to attend! We experience God as love and reject all punishing, vengeful, and violent images of God. We follo...

Geoff, Here's the guy to reach out to: Rev Paul R. Smith (http://www.feniva.com/prs/new3/home.html). He's a former Baptist minister who is now active exploring the intersection between Christianity and Ken Wilber's Integral space. Last night, I watched a video of a presentation he did in 2015 (https...

I'm almost two weeks into the 'great experiment' having found the Padgett messages in early January 2019. I think that Geoff and Al are completely right about it being the desire and the words. But as a newbie, I'm finding a formal prayer a bit like training wheels ... something I can use until my f...

Or I should say north of Pittsburgh. I currently live close to Youngstown (Ohio), but since I grew up in Monroeville (PA ... where Bill Frase is currently), I prefer to say I'm from daBurgh! Jeanne, Al, and Bill have already read this via email, but for everyone else, my backstory is that I'm 60 and...
