Mystic Dance of Awakening
Spiritual teachings are important because we need to come to a place where we can all live with each other, and with all of reality, easier.
Picture the whole of humanity lost in illusion. Confused people everywhere.
Now picture what happens when one person over there, one person over there, one person over there… wakes up… Soon we have a mass movement.
I like to make a lot of jokes, and laugh and poke fun at people… because being a human being is really fun. Let’s all wake up together.
So you’re probably thinking, “But what happens to me after I die? Like, come on, answer the question already, right?” Hopefully, you’ve been going through this entire series and letting the ideas soften the belief systems we have about who we are and how life works. Hopefully this is opening up the reality of who …
Jesus said, ‘Where two people gather, I am there.’ Maybe we can expand that idea a little bit by saying, ‘Whenever two people can actually come together, then a new unity has arisen. I am there. I am there.’ Each of us has this opportunity, all the time, to come up with different ways to …

The 99 names of God is something we need to touch on briefly in this series. We’re not going to get deeply into it because that could be its own whole thing, but it’s a beautiful Sufi teaching. Instead of trying to say the qualities of God in large abstract terms, we talk about small, …
