I am in awe of earth’s majesty, intense dazzling vibrations. It’s earth’s party, a TREE PARTY, in gratitude for yet another YEAR OF LIFE – the gifts, all the gifts, that this year of foliage have brought – such richness, abundance of harvest and delight. And then…it’s time for them to rest; to exhale, release and let go.

In this third part of the series, we’ll continue putting together the building blocks discussed previously: the horizontal realm of personality, knowledge, and the forces of life; the vertical inner realm of Being, Essence, and Good; and the relational field that comes into play as we work to raise our level of Being on the vertical scale.

This communiqué will be posted to Wisdom Waypoints in three parts. The format is to offer a selection of Maurice’s teachings on several major ideas, many quoted directly, interspersed with Logia from the Gospel of Thomas—hoping that you too can hear the harmonies.

The directions were simple: when you have a thought, let it go. Cynthia Bourgeault calls Centering Prayer “a pathway of return”.
