Intuitive Inclusive Public Media Praxis
Prowess Theurgy • Restful Recordings
3:30pm Eastern • Near-Daily Opportunities

You're invited.

Here's the roles!

* We meet for 35 minutes on a particular day at 3:30pm Eastern using Zoom video. We take a ten minute break after 35 minutes to move around, breathe, enjoy somatic success, and reorient ourselves to next states. Some or all of us may opt for a second session of 35 minutes.

* We record our video / audio conversation in wholeness. Then, we highlight excerpts we want to share in public media if all visible/audible participants agree, including names, project titles, & URLs for participants highlighted in that public media. Optionally, we may wish to share our full recordings with the private Intuitive Network so that survivors' groups can assist in highlighting excerpts for public media.

* We center prowess theurgy, restful resonances, relational integrity, somatic sensing, and actualizing activations. We always remember the invisible friends and colleagues who cannot be here with us today, and we respectfully bring their voices and interests in where we most appropriately can (with especial regard for their privacy and security needs).

1 Corinthians 12:25 - 27

"So that there will be no disagreements within the body, but rather all the parts will be equally concerned for all the others.

Thus if one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; and if one part is honored, all the parts share its happiness.

Now you together constitute the body of the Messiah, and individually you are parts of it."

' Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh says listening can help end the suffering of an individual.

"Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening.

You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. Even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion.

Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less. If you want to help him to correct his perception, you wait for another time.

For now, you don't interrupt. You don't argue. If you do, he loses his chance.

You just listen with compassion and help him to suffer less.

One hour like that can bring transformation and healing."

I recently noticed the following symbol had appeared in my iPhone emoji options, and it made me smile: 🪯

It is the Khanda, the symbol of Sikhism. Over the past few years I have been blessed and enriched by learning about Sikh history, traditions, and spirituality.

The following words are not mine, but eloquently express what I have found most beautiful about Sikh wisdom and what it has to inspire us all.

“Happy Vaisakhi to everyone celebrating! May it be more than just sharing posts on social media… may it be a wake up call to not tolerate injustice, to be kind, to serve, to not bring others down in the name of religion.”

"Sophia is the Wisdom of God, and Wisdom is the uncreated light who pours forth her radiant beams upon all intelligent beings." - St. Hildegard of Bingen

Steven Morgan wrote,

' The Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus were originally written in a kind of Greek called Koine, which mean “common,” as opposed to Attic Greek, a more prestigious grammar. In effect, the Gospels are stylistically plain and straightforward, uttered towards everyone regardless of learnedness.

I can’t help but feel that to be an inspired occasion, for Jesus is nothing if not interested in speaking to anyone and everyone with ears to hear: it’s stunning to note that he never raps theologically; in other words, he seems wholly uninterested in the abstractions of philosophy that so often obscure the simplicity of a beating heart, or an in-breath. Or love, for that matter.

But the earthy and often terse grammar of the Gospels doesn’t mean they’re unsophisticated. In Matthew’s Gospel alone, you have over two hundred references to the Old Testament stories, often hidden, often through multiple avenues within just one sentence, and the structure of the Jesus stories themselves is imbued with meaning at every turn of the page. Furthermore, nearly every recorded act of Jesus contains a symbolic value wherein his behavior unveils a bigger picture, if only we had those eyes to see. For if I go up a mountain, I’m hiking; but Jesus is ascending.

Now it’s fashionable to account for this symbolic intent as coming from the author’s mind: that the author is retelling the forensic account of Jesus’s life in such a way as to add symbolic value, the way any author today would choose the ordering of her words carefully. There’s a form of cynicism in this approach, namely the presumption that symbolism doesn’t actually unfold in reality, but is read into events by our creaturely minds.

But I prefer the opposite rendering of Jesus’s life: that the way he lived was actually and innately symbolic, that every leper he healed, for instance, was not just the saintly action of a God-drunk physician, but a literal changing of the fabric of the cosmos that would lay down new patterns in spacetime through which are bodies would resonate forevermore. And, that the event of that healing—all the myriad circumstances that constitute a moment in time—contained the potentiality for symbolic unearthing that would forevermore help us locate ourselves in the story of creation’s sprouting.

' “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” - Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew

Well, like that unwanted mustard seed (it’s a weed, tellingly) who sprouts into a glorious resting place for birds, every act of Christ has the possibility of calling our minds and hearts in to fertilize his actions, then watch what blooms. In other words, I think he knew what he was doing, not just saying.

However, I'll be damned, because I originally came here not to sermonize but to share what I think is a rare chunk of Gospel text that, despite its commonness, truly does soar to literary heights (and has the added benefit of summarizing, for me, everything I need to know about how to live). I like to picture Jesus here smiling through these words, maybe even a bit facetiously...

""And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the marriage feast, so that they may open to him at once when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them."" - Jesus, the Gospel of Luke '

Susan Raffo wrote,

' I was recently listening to someone explain that what we call stress is actually fear, but western thought sees fear as a weakness and so has shapeshifted the experience of fear - which is internal - to the narrative of stress - which is more about how the outside environment impacts our sense of self. It’s a kind of subtle collective override. And so I want to name my sped up heartbeat as fear: the fear of being visible to a stranger and uncertain about what might happen in our encounter. The fear of being alone when the weather turns intense. The fear of not knowing where I am going to sleep at night. The fear of giving up and disappointing people. The fear of dissociating and somehow wasting this experience. The fear of the semi trucks hurtling by a few feet from where I am walking. The fear of not having enough water, food or warmth.

The word “fear” is an old German word which first meant “danger.” It’s older root means to try, to risk. In the 1400s, the word fear started to mean a feeling of dread and reverence for God and I have no idea what to do with that. Everything about what I just wrote is a poem, a story, an arc of memories. The word terror means “great fear, dread, alarm, panic” and the word “horror” comes from an old word meaning “to bristle” and refers to the gooseflesh and hair raising that happens when we are truly frightened. And finally, the word “scare” is an old Norse word and means “timid, shy, to shrink from, to avert.” '

"O cosmic birth of all radiance and vibration,
soften the ground of our being
and carve out a space within us w
here your presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity
so that we may be empowered
to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit
in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom
to produce and share what
each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads
of destiny that bind us
as we release others
from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced
by that which would divert us
from our true purpose,
but illuminate the opportunities
of our present moment.

For you are the ground
and the fruitful vision,
the birth, power and fulfillment
as all is gathered
and made whole once again.

And so it is."

— the Lord's Prayer as translated from Aramaic to English (rather than the traditional and typical one which is translated from Aramaic to Greek to Latin and then to English)

In the Intuitive Network, we build bridges between communities — and between community members. We help everyone (everywhere) to recognize, get to know, and collaborate with one another even in the midst of great challenges and uncertainty.

Our arts immersions are group process activities and community spaces where someone experiencing intensity, invisibility, disablement, or ongoing violence (of any kind) can be increasingly heard, cared for, respected, honored, and understood.

We help communities to deepen resilience and integrity through connecting with the most severely affected people and living beings who are part of the body of that community — growing long-lasting relationships, regenerative nourishment, and powerful roots.
