Bashful Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

On a wallpaper textured background in gold, orange and purple, sits one china teacup with a single, pale ginko leaf design. Inside the cup, stands a very shy monster with a bashful smile. It has golden brown hair, combed to pointed wisps at the top of its head. In its paws, it holds a delicate orange leaf.

Against a brightly lit background of glowing orange and yellow textures, the little blue monster, and his friends sit on floating curved shapes. They are all looking down at the mysterious scene below. Further back, two cats are not floating, but falling through the air, and not appearing happy at all. :-) (P.S. Cats always land on their feet.)

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 6: Guided through the dark night

Scripture

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
I trust you, let me not be disappointed;
do not let my enemies triumph.
Those who hope in you shall not be disappointed,
but only those who wantonly break faith.

Lord, make me know your ways.
Lord, teach me your paths.
Make me walk in your truth, and teach me:
for you are God my savior.

In you I hope all day long
because of your goodness, O Lord.
Remember your mercy, Lord,
and the love you have shown from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth.
In your love remember me.
(Psalm 25:1-7)

Reading

A soul ordinarily needs instruction pertinent to its experience in order to be guided through the dark night to spiritual denudation and poverty. Without this instruction a person, even without wanting such things, would unknowingly become hardened in the way of the spirit and habituated to that of the senses, in which these communications are partly experienced. The spiritual father should instead proceed with much kindness and calm.

The Ascent of Mount Carmel: Book Two, Chapter 22

Prayer

O St. John of the Cross
You were endowed by our Lord with the spirit of self-denial
and a love of the cross.
Obtain for us the grace to follow your example
that we may come to the eternal vision of the glory of God.

O Saint of Christ’s redeeming cross
the road of life is dark and long.
Teach us always to be resigned to God’s holy will
in all the circumstances of our lives
and grant us the special favor
which we now ask of thee.

Mention your request

Above all, obtain for us the grace of final perseverance,
a holy and happy death and everlasting life with you
and all the saints in heaven.
Amen.

Let’s continue in prayer…

Day 1 — What profit is there?
Day 2 — An open wound
Day 3 — Your heart in peace
Day 4 — An imitation of his life
Day 5 — Supreme goodness
Day 6 — Guided through the dark night
Day 7 — Surrender
Day 8 — Inspired with love
Day 9 — All things are forgotten

Don’t become discouraged and give up prayer, says St. John of the Cross. We offer varying novenas to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, as well as novenas to St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, and St. Joseph.

Let us unite in prayer

A Heart For God. Or maybe a brain for God. I read a study once where they stimulated parts of many people's brains and found a tiny area that would give even atheists a religious/God experience. I found this fascinating...

"It’s no longer unusual to meet #synagogue-goers who #meditate regularly. Some do it in a specifically #Jewish way, while others use #Buddhist #meditation practices to complement their Jewish #spiritual lives.

Few institutions have played a greater role in spreading meditation among mainstream #Jews in #America than #MakorOr, the #meditationcenter housed within Congregation #BethSholom in #SanFrancisco. This month, the #Conservativesynagogue in the #RichmondDistrict is marking a milestone: 25 years of Jews sitting together in silence. (Though I’m a member of Beth Sholom, I’m a total newbie to the world of Makor Or.)

Makor Or was co-founded by #poet and #Zen priest #NormanFischer and the late Beth Sholom #Rabbi #AlanLew, who wrote books like “One God Clapping: The Spiritual Path of a Zen Rabbi” and the High Holidays classic “This Is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared.”

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

Textured colors of spotted, mottled brown and orange. An ink drawing of a cat/bear-like creature stares with distress and wonder outward. It has a small nose and a long thin mouth with seven sharp protruding teeth. It clawed arms hang protectively in front of it.

"After ten years #DanBrown is back with a new #RobertLangdon #thriller — this time set in #Prague and packed with #Jewish #legends, #mysticalscience, and even a villain who believes he is the #Golem of Prague. Beneath the chase scenes and puzzles, the #novel revolves around a single, radical question: What exactly is #humanconsciousness?

While the novel plays with these ideas in dramatic and experimental ways, #Judaism has been exploring the same questions for over two thousand years — with great depth and #spiritual clarity.

Here are three major ideas about human #consciousness that Brown discusses, compared with a traditional Jewish approach to the same questions."
