Hi
 
There are times in our inner lives when we must dwell in a lonely place. Inner Lent takes place in a lonely place.  A lonely place is unfrequented and remote. You dwell there without companions and without comforts. The reward of spending time in your lonely place is a clear inner strength of purpose and direction.

A GIFT
 
Click here to download a 27 page essay, "I am a Human Being!" In this essay I describe the fourfold nature of the human being.  The wonderful poet, Lucille Clifton, exquisitely names us a being between "starshine and clay."  We are the starshine of spirit and the dense matter of clay.  We are also living biology and living story (biography).  We are conscious of all this and express ourselves through thoughts, feelings and deeds.
 
You will find insight, understanding and liberation in finding in this essay a full imagination of your humanity.  Students of Rudolf Steiner and friends of Waldorf Education will enjoy this description of the fourfold human being.

The Mysteries of the Etheric Body
 
There is a new product at Lynn's Store.  The Mysteries of the Etheric Body is 52 minute MP3 audio to purchase for downloading to your computer. 
 
Once we have a picture of the fourfold human being, it is time to deepen our ability to understand and manage our mysterious and complex etheric body.  The Etheric Body or Life Body is the body of our biology and our biography.  As our biology, the etheric body contains all our living formative and functional forces and shapes our moods and our health.  As our biography, the etheric body stores, hides and reveals all our memories, patterns and habits.  
 
During the recrding you will learn ways to nurture and harmonize your etheric bodies. I describe ways to recognize if your thoughts, feelings and intentions are floating up from your etheric bodies or flowing down from your True I or Spirit.

My Inner Lent Work and Transformation around Money

I want to share with you some personal Inner/outer work I am doing.  I am looking at my relationship to money! I am participating in a teleseminar given by Bari Tessler.  You can learn about Bari's wonderful, transformative work at her website - www.ConsciousBookkeeping.com  

Money has always been filled with confusion, anxiety, fantasy and avoidance for me. To quote the first step of the Twelve Steps of Recovery - "I admitted I was powerless over money and my life had become unmanageable." In just four sessions with Bari's brilliant guidance and the sharing of 9 other participants, I have begun to wake up, clear up and straighten up my financial life - I still have a long way to go, but I now know where I am going and how I am going to get there.

Also, Eva Konigsberg, a colleague of Bari's, is training me is using Quickbooks.  Eva's teaching is patient, wise and compassionate.  Her website is www.SavvyTax.com The training sessions are over the phone and due to the wonders of the web, Eva can see my desktop while we are working.  

Lent seems to be the perfect time to incarnate fully into the mysteries, possibilities and limitations of my financial life.  I am definitely at a new level of earthly existence.

Yesterday, I received an email from John Bloom and RSF Social Finance on the intersection of money and spirit.  John is a very eloquent writer on this subject. You can read his thoughts at

I will be writing again just before Easter.
 
Many blessings,
Lynn
