What's Between You and Me?

An experience of the love we feel at the sight of another human being after a period of isolation. But how long does it last? The source of the blocks to intimacy.

Transformation begins with Confession

This article asserts that an expanded definition of the usual understanding of confession - owning and admitting material in our psyche that was previously hidden from sight - actually leads to a transformation of the personality and makes new behaviors possible.

A Complete Confession and Transformation

As we go about our day, most of us are not aware of an ultimate unity, a connectedness with God and other human beings. Instead, we're preoccupied with our own plans and designs, our own hopes and fears. But if we are free of psychic clutter as a result of a deep confession, the ferreting out and release of unexamined or unconscious material in our psyche, and take a moment to get still, with nothing going on, we come to realize our connection with all humanity. We can see that there is no essential difference between us and our fellow human beings. We are all irrefutably a part of God, and love flows between us and other human beings as freely as blood flows in our veins. We then discover our "trueselves, the selves with neither body nor consciousness, the selves that exist as beginess, the selves we seldom stop to notice. Missing that experience in our daily lives is, however, merely a consequence of being human.

Connection with God and Humanity

Oneness with God and all humankind is central to most world religions. A broader Confession, espoused here, is an aid to attaining that oneness.
