Having a High Tolerance for Pain At some early point in my time on earth, I recall it being said that I have a high tolerance for pain. At first, I thought it an odd comment to describe what, for me, was a simple matter of not actually FEELING the pain. Then, I saw the benefit in having a high tolerance for pain -- my experience of pain was somehow less painful than others. Today as I drove to the Sunday Service, a question arose about this high tolerance for pain. Is this a good thing? Having a high or low tolerance for pain implies that pain exists and that we deal with it in one way or another. And yet, a few years ago, I began treating (praying) for the Divine Quality of Ease in my life. I began saying "My Life is easy." I bought the little button from a popular stationery store that would say "That was easy" when you pressed upon it, and I pressed it. A lot. Life is easy. It's a Divine Quality. The Divine creates the entire Universe and everythin

My Good is All-Good, Not Mixed with Evil of any Kind I have seemed to have become an athlete over the past couple of decades. I certainly wasn't one as I grew up. Back then, I made the conscious choice to be a 'lady' over a 'tomboy'. I wrote that in my diary at 9 years old. But about 20 years ago, when I asked my Inner Wisdom what spiritual practice I should add to my life, Its answer was loud and clear, "Walk 15 minutes a day." Despite my many arguments and reasons to the contrary, the Guidance would not go away, so eventually I did begin walking. Which has led me to this strange place in my life. I am an athlete. I'm not saying that everyone in my world agrees with that statement, but I have to accept that this is what I am to me. I used to think I was weak. I used to have some sort of condition that would not allow my body to sweat. I used to be unable to see a ball because I had double-vision without realizing it (yup, that's another st

My friend Rev. Lee Wolak says that "love" is accepting the way a person is. It's not liking them, it's accepting them. "Liking" someone means that you are in vibrational harmony with them. And, of course, we aren't in vibrational harmony with everyone. But could we be? And, if we could be, would we want to be? Thoughts for me to think: Do I want to be in vibrational harmony with everyone? Or, would I like being comfortably myself with everyone on the planet? What would it look like if I was in vibrational harmony with everyone? What would it feel like? My experience: I remember, before my awareness of Spirit and a desire to grow spiritually, that I got along with some people and I didn't get along with a whole lot more. The ones I got along with I really liked and I remember enjoying my times with them immensely. I laughed and laughed and laughed with them. I miss that. Once I began spiritually growing, I joined a group of people who wo
