Before I share with you a jot about wisdom and transformation, I want to remind you about the Inner Lent program.  

Inner Lent offers perspectives, insights, guides, and encouragement for recognizing, facing down, overcoming the three great temptations of your life using the New Testament story as a model. 

Don't be tempted to let this surprising and inspiring guide for your inner development slip by...learn more and register. 


A Jot of Wisdom...A New You


It only takes a jot of wisdom to transform your sense of self. 


A jot is an extremely small amount and comes from the Greek word iota which is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet. It looks just like the smallest letter in our alphabet, 

I.

When you sign up for a course, buy a book, read a blogpost, or have a sacred conversation all you need to experience is a jot, an iota, of wisdom to find the power for self-transformation.


Wisdom lives in a single phrase, a single idea, a simple step in an exercise. It's a moment...a breakthrough...an ahha.  You got it!  Now things make sense! Something begins to shift. Suddenly you feel a bit of safety, calmness, wakefulness or nourishment. 


The Lesson...

Don't burden your unfolding self-knowledge with a sense that you MUST digest the entire course, read and understand the entire book or blogpost, or remember the entire conversation to support the awakening of wisdom and the opening to transformation. It just the jot that matters. It is the embrace of  the content with a serious and relaxed wonder and trust...just like the enthusiasm of a small child with a new toy, that leads you to the jot of wisdom. 


This is why we are so fascinated with quotes - they are jots of wisdom that might empower transformation. Won't you please share a jot that you love, that changed your sense of self in a comment on the post. Just click here.


And with Imagine Self online courses, like books, they're yours to keep and revisit any time and many times. Each course is filled with jots. Each time you revisit the course you will be meeting the content from a different perspective, another question, a new you, and you will find other jots appearing.  And one of them will set you free, point you in the right direction, make self-forgiveness possible, put a smile in your heart, define the problem or indicate the solution.


Appreciate...Encourage...Support  
Imagine Self
These thought on A Jot of Wisdom...A New You is the result of hours and hours of my inner work, creative work, and technical work. 

This message and all of Imagine Self is filled with  much devotion for you and a future shaped by individuals who have a moral imagination of themselves, of all others, and of what is possible and necessary for building a compassionate, practical and meaningful existence for all.

INNER LENT 

a FESTIVAL IMAGINATIONS course

If you would like guidance in finding your self-aware answers, I have put together a course called Inner Lent that brings deepening perspectives, insights and possibilities to inspire your own imagination of your experience of the wilderness and solitude, your challenges with addictive patterns, your challenges with your ungrounded fantasies and your challenges with judgments frozen in time. I take the New Testament images and make them intimate and meaningful for your modern, embodied soul. The wisdom is universal, far beyond church dogma, and the application is truly personal.


The experience of Inner Lent can occur any day of the year and last for 40 minutes or 40 years.  Inner Lent is about your changing, evolving, developing relationship with yourself in the vast and lonely wilderness of modern existence.  You do not need to perfect the Inner Lent experience.  You can play with it.  This year you may want to focus on your addictive temptations.  Next year you may want to devote you inner attention to your experience of the wilderness.  Or you may want to just explore the whole imagination and get a sense of all the possibilities, knowing next year for Inner Lent it will be your ability to choose your focus.  


This year I am making the Inner Lent course available as individual lessons or as a complete package.  The single lessons cost  $15.00 each.  You will receive a link to the Lesson page with the downloadable audio, the slide presentation and a set of seven exercises to work with. The complete course is available for $47.

Inner Lent, like all the Imagine Self Inner Festivals, is not about sin and redemption or being a good Christian. It is about the great commandment, "Oh, Human Soul, know thyself!" This is a commandment for all human souls, beyond religious beliefs.  I find the central festivals of the Christian Calendar quite universal in their ability to guide us to this task of imagining self as an earthly and divine being and the great mystery of becoming fully human.
