From Scared to Sacred

Our teaching is mystical and practical. It must be practical because mysticism is about living the Divine. In his own life, Carmien Owen has begun engaging with the news as a spiritual practice, to apply the principles of our teaching to what others observe in the world. For example, regarding the latest major conflict in the news, he concludes: To presume that there must be violence to end violence in Syria, is to see Syrians as lesser than they truly are. When following the news, or in discussions with others, it is helpful to realize that truth comes from within, opinion comes from without. Blessed are those who have not seen but know. Transcend belief and move toward conviction and have that certainty. When we have realization, we abandon into God, recognizing Oneness, recognizing that this is an invitation to a divine and mystical experience. We have a knowing that it is for us to embody peace and universal love.
