Practices and experiences of Resonating Prayer in new and deepening ways.

Sometimes we may be open to experiencing spirit guides in our lives but don’t always know how to. Usually, we can’t see them with our physical eyes and it can take time to recognize their voice. Learning to sense their presence is a mystical experience we can all open up to.

Beaks and minds
I saw standing on the stones of the riverbank
a dark bird with its back to me.
It turned its head to left, then right
revealing a beady eye
and an outrageous orange beak
almost as long as its head.
In some other world
I knew it as an oystercatcher.
I have seen different birds’ beaks adapted
in manifold ways to feed self and offspring.
I have also seen human minds adapted to their purpose:
displaying stabbing verbal sharpness
or the scattering gloom of anxiety
or the tight gleam of avarice.
And I have seen the enlightened mind
intimate with everything
like a soft beak the colours of the rainbow
big enough and flexible enough
to nourish the world.

Regeneration of the Divine Earth
–
Integrating Our Mystical Participation as Nature
Regeneration is taking the step from seeing the earth as an object and into experiencing it through our interbeing. Into “humans doing things as nature.”
The incarnation of Christ in the cosmos is the divine interfused in all things, very much including the earth. And so our living into and as the Body of Christ will also be through the divine earth.
We must reimagine and reconfigure our relationship with the earth and the orientation of our consciousness. We cannot and must not “sustain” the way things currently are, but rather we can come into our generative participation in loving service and care for our larger body.

Integrating the Heart and Womb in Communal Becoming
In our WeSpace groups in ICN, we most often and naturally experience the shared space among us primarily from our heart center. As the heart is our center of relationality, that makes sense.
The womb center also has a powerful capacity for collective awareness. The WeSpace of the womb is of a different nature, and for many, can be difficult to experience—especially if our attention is caught up in the strength of our heartful connection of love and relationality.
What would it look like to set the intention to directly explore the shared womb space in integration with our heartful connection?

Poetry as a Portal to the Heart
Poetry and the arts can be wonderful portals to help us enter into the felt awareness and experience of our embodied centers. They help us integrate our participation and understanding through engaging our mythic and magic structures of consciousness.

Heartful Attunement with Whole-Body Mystical Presencing
“To heal and change and the world through mystical activism, we need ways to purposefully and directly move from our ordinary consciousness to non-ordinary mystical consciousness... We believe the vibrant web of spiritual heart energy is a major factor in how Jesus operated and how we function also. It is transforming and what heals and changes both us and the world.”

Mystical Activism with a New Lord’s Prayer
Asking God in Jesus’ name has nothing to do with ending one’s prayer with the words ‘in the name of Jesus.’ We can say ‘In the name of Jesus’ over and over again, and if it is coming from ordinary consciousness, it is just words that we hope have some magical meaning like ‘abracadabra.’ ‘In the New Testament there are no magically potent names,’ no hocus pocus.
