A Spiritual Tale
- Categorized in: Thoughts
Innocently unaware of the prejudices held against him, an old
black man, staunchly religious, some years ago applied for
membership in an exclusive church.
The pastor attempted to
put him off with all sorts of evasive remarks. The old man,
becoming aware that he was not wanted, said finally that he
would pray on it and perhaps the Lord would tell him just
what to do.
Several days later he returned. "Well," asked the minster,
"did the Lord send you a message?"
"Yes sir, he did," was the answer. "He told me it wasn't
any use. He said. 'I've been trying to get in that same church
myself for ten years, and I still can't make it.'"
The Spirituality of imperfection Kurtz and Ketcham
Hi Sonia,
I have been in search all of my life for something more. Having a feeling of great emptiness. Since the age of nine, I would go for long walks near the river where I once lived and would sit crossed legged, eyes closed and go within. Now knowing it was called meditation and not having a very religious upbringing it wasn't until I had my first child, I decided to go to church. I had a path of four different a nominations and ended up becoming a Catholic and a special minister .
I then had a breakdown and haven't gone back since. Afraid to meditate. That was ten years ago.
Now that I'm much older being over fifty. I have realized this has been a journey for me. In reflection, I no that I have been guided. There are no coincidences.
I recently have come through another stage of complexity of knowing my direction and purpose. I now have been guided to yoga. Which I'm yet to pursue.
I stumbled on your site and found great meaning and understanding. Thankyou.
Regards, Marlene
