5 minute commentaryFalling in love or rising in love?

This was taped at a Corpus Christi Gospel Choir practice on 09/08/1991. I, David Markham, was a member of this choir which was directed by George Banks. I don't remember who the other choir members were or the soloists but they are very talented people. Corpus Christi church was in Rochester, NY. The congregation moved to what is now Spiritus Christi when the church members were excommunicated. This is the first of a number of tracks which was recorded simply on an old fashion "boom box" tape recorder in vogue at the time.This is my kind of church music.

Help me to hold out.

Glossary - Miracle

The podcast explores the meaning of the Introduction in A Course In Miracles as reviewed in the first four days of the Daily Reflections on UUAWOL.org

A Course In Miracles, Introduction

Are there spiritual Masters in the Unitarian Univeralist tradition? How does one find a spiritual teacher? What should a seeker be looking for? The walk with Love is the one taught by Jesus and requires an inward not an outward journey.

Episode 10 - Spiritual growth

The fourth milestone on the walk with Love on the path of the spirit is gentleness. Gentleness can be understood as a quality of compassion which is named in the second principle of Unitarian Universalism as being worthy of affirmation and promotion. What is gentleness?

Episode 9 Gentleness

The third milestone on the Walk with Love, on the spiritual Path, is a nonjudgmental attitude. Carl Rogers called this "unconditional positive regard." We are not God. How can we know the heart, mind, and soul of another? We don't even understand our own heart, mind, and soul.

Episode 8, Nonjudgmental attitude

Jesus tells us that the way to the kingdom is "to love as I have loved." If we choose the path of the spirit over the path of the ego we embark on the walk with Love and pass several milestones. The first milestone on the walk with love is trust, and the second is honesty.

Episode 7, Honesty on the walk with Love

Disillusionment leads to "the dawning," which leads to "the turning" which leads to "the search" which takes one eventually on a mystical path which is the "Walk With Love" on the path of the spirit. The first milestone on this "Walk With Love" on the path of the spirit is trust and faith.

Episode 6 - Stages of faith development, Milestone 1, Trust and faith

The UU A Way Of Life podcasts describes the stages, characteristics, and benefits of the spiritual life.
