A Short Post about my adventures today

Tomorrow I have to finish some work on my paradigm changing

Science education project, so this will be brief.

I was touched by several religious videos on YouTube tonight.

With my Catholic background, hearing the beautiful background choral music with the echoing reverberation provided by a large cathedral (or some digital editing) it was inspiring to look at videos under the subject of Virgin Mary Appears in a Tree. Related videos 
came up:  Virgin Mary Appeared in Egypt, the Virgin Mary statue Opens her eyes, and so on. It made me think maybe I should narrow my focus and start my Religious Order, or my Brotherhood/Sisterhood, under the mantle of the sacred mother of Jesus.  Readers who may find this offensive or too “Catholic” can relax, I’m still thinking as a Cosmic Brother rather than as a Roman-ruled monk.  People are really justified in being suspicious of Roman meddling in our personal spiritual lives.  Like every human on earth, Roman Catholics have the right and duty to think for themselves, and make up their own minds, whether it’s in regard to our pious practices or our private sex livesg. I still revere the Holy Mother, but I want to address all people who can use a little spiritual comfort and a kind, sympathetic listener.

Here are some items from my little life over the past ten days.  My friend is unemployed.  We chatted about it.  My science education publications and the science devices that I produce have to go back on the market.  I’m corresponding with the corporation in New York that markets them for me.  I purchased two desk chairs.  I returned the first to get a heavy-duty one.  I found the replacement at a Thrift Store, but it turned out to have a broken caster.  The plastic glue is curing.  Today I received my documentation in the Universal Life Church, but the package was too big for my mailbox.  It was placed in the office.  I’ll get it tomorrow.

Meanwhile, words cannot express the lift I got Sunday afternoon when my younger daughter came by for a swim and a visit with Dad.  She told me she’d take me to visit my sister and her husband in Louisiana July 19-22, so I’m excited about that.  She’s a therapist as a local spa, and related a psychic experience that occurred last week, and told me she wants to take hypnotherapy instructions.  I’ll find an instructor, and we’ll do it together.  That will make me better at Spiritual Counseling.  I put up my framed diplomas from five colleges and universities last night, and hope to hand my Counselor document tomorrow after I purchase a frame. 

I was pleased at how my reacted to my newly decorated and reorganized apartment.  We are very close as co-travelers in this world of time, space, energy and force, truly kindred spirits in every way.

I must sign off now, but please keep returning to the Astral Monk Blog at AstralMonk blogspot.com and I’ll be with you again soon.

Abundant blessings every step of your way,

James, the Astral Monk
