Spark My Muse

Who is in the mirror when you look closely? (Are you usually seeing what you see as a reversed created reflection of your appearance or does what you see cause you to imagine what others might be noticing?)

What happens when we notice our noticing and what is soul-stealing about images of human that are separated from their actual humanity?

Today, Soul School is about perception, consciousness, noticing, connection, and the strangeness of the looking-glass to those possessing "the Divine spark".

For EXTRAS, including a video of how mirrors are made and some VERY revealing *Reflection* Questions (get it?!) - go to https://www.patreon.com/posts/19962783 (or patreon.com/sparkmymuse for episode SSL 103).

Support the show with a few dollars as you are able at that page and it will unlock many bonus goodies too.

The official website for the program SparkMyMuse.com will give you access to info on the Summer School Course and much more.

Feel free to connect with me by email [email protected]

Mark Nepo is a poet, philosopher, prolific writer and teacher, and the best-selling author of "The Book of Awakening". You may know him from his contributions to On Being blog, Spirituality and Health Magazine, or as a guest multiple times with Oprah.

Much of our conversation today touches on ideas in two of his most recent books. The first is, "Things the Join the Sea and Sky" that features 135 of his poetic journal entries. He offers readers a way to enter themselves more richly into time through this practice. Mark says, "Journaling is where we have an ongoing conversation with life."

And, his book that took 13 years to complete, "More Together Than Alone". Mark shares, “Things that fall apart are louder then things that fit together. We are in an age that is addicted to the sound of things falling apart.”

And...

"Aneurysms happen is weak spots in the brain. Mass shooters are societal aneurysms."

These small snippets are just tiny tastes of Mark's insightful ways of seeing how we can inhabit wisdom and each other's lives more fully.

Settle in and listen to this audio and the sage wisdom from a man that "Watkins: Mind-Body-Spirit" magazine has regarded as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People and the man who was given a Life-Achievement Award by AgeNation.

Bonus features and links to all his contact info and book info can be found at this direct link ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/19803849 ) as a special treat for those who contribute $1 (or more). Go to patreon.com to access other free material or check to see when this one will be unlocked to the General Public.

One of the most thoughtful and most beloved spiritual writers of the 20th Century was Trappist monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968).

Today, I'm sharing some of his insightful and helpful writing on Meditation, particular to the Christian tradition (which is distinctly relational); and the unique gift Meditation offers as a movement toward contemplative prayer and becoming more receptive to God's grace/will. (This is from his potent, short, and essential work entitled "Spiritual Direction and Meditation")

Very useful Extras with many links to Merton's books, related websites, and episode Reflection Questions can be found at patreon.com/sparkmymuse for episode SSL 102. ( Or this direct link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/19690991 ) Supporters of the program get to view and use this immediately, and it will be available to the public 5 days after the 6/27/2018 release. I thank you to stop by to support today.

Enjoy the audio!
