Invalidation

  By Rev. Amari Magdalena   In the world of cyber communication, lacking the in-person reading of intent, we may often feel invalidated. The meaning of the word used in communication is: “the process of denying, rejecting or dismissing someone's feelings. Invalidation sends the message that a person's subjective emotional experience is inaccurate, insignificant, and/or unacceptable.” Sounds pretty harash and rendering a complete denial of another’s emotional sharing. On the surface, of course, most of us would not want to be found guilty of doing such a thing. Yet, we do it more ..read more

Does The Universe Care for or about Us?

  By Rev. Amari Magdalena Yesterday I posted a word for consideration: Pronoia. Its definition is that “The Universe conspires for my Joy and Abundance.” Nice thought, no? Yet a few people took exception recalling devastating things that the Universe had delivered to them over their lifetimes. It got me thinking about the times, in my own life, when The Universe most definitely was not conspiring in my favor, or so it seemed. One of the philosophies that I’ve long admired is the Tao. In this belief system one learns to not weight oppositional forces in our lives differently. This bel ..read more

Death

by Rev. Amari Magdalena A subject few people want to talk about, Death. It’s a hush-hush deal that many wish to never address though it, and taxes, are declared to be inevitable. Aging, illness, and infirmity certainly may cause us to consider an appearance of the grim reaper. For some of us having gone through the demise of our parents, we may be more aware of the obligations and expectations created by a family death. Some people choose to bury their heads and magically keep death at the door. My own journey of the past year and a half has made me hyper aware of my end date approachin ..read more

Who Do We Trust?

   By Rev. Amari Magdalena Erik Erikson believed that trust is developed from birth to 18 months. During this stage, the infant either comes to view other people and himself or herself as trustworthy or comes to develop a fundamental distrust of his or her environment. Trust is defined as a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. As we move through infancy, early, middle, and later childhood into adulthood, trust may become an issue in our interrelationships. If the initial trust was broken in the earliest developmental stage it may ..read more

We are Guests of Mother Nature

by Rev. Amari Magdalena Watching the Yellowstone Dome rising and the ancient history of our small planet, I am again struck by just how fragile is our existence. Whether by force of climate, comets aimed for us, or nuclear attacks by agents opposed to our political agenda, we are temporary at best. These outside venues for destruction play along with our internal body’s slow destruction. However, you measure it, or think about it, this drives home the need to appreciate each and every day we have in our body suits on planet Earth. Generations of humankind has egotistically believed mank ..read more

Invisibility

 Invisibility by Rev. Amari Magdalena I was on a conference call today and someone mentioned being invisible as we age. I attributed that, in part, to youth culture focus and emphasis on looking eternally young. It reminded me, however, of shamanic invisibility. It represents stepping down our energy field, purposively. This can be a very helpful tool if one ever feels in danger. One must slow down their energy vibration so as to be unnoticed. There is another type of invisibility that I've become aware of in the saging process. I believe that our bodies become less dense, energetica ..read more

Remembering Love

 by Rev. Amari Magdalena Writing through my life, I am remembering love, the romantic kind. Oh, the highs and lows of that commodity, often leaves us empty in ways that are perhaps never again fulfilled. Yet, the very essence of the love will always be in my heart. So, there is no real lasting loss. Perhaps if people better understood that falling in love with someone is due to the wonderful reflection of us seen in the lover's eyes. I do know the more lasting love is the kind that happens when you finally see each other and learn to love the whole spectrum of the person-the good, the bad ..read more

Goal Setting and Resolutions vs. Following the Energy

  By Rev. Amari Magdalena   It’s that time of year again.  New Year’s is now three days old. People are conjuring resolutions and setting their 1-year, 5-year, 10-year goals. A sense of accomplishment may follow the list making and temporary achievement pride swells. A month or two down the road, the list may become more of an irritant anchoring you in the wrong sea. Perhaps you were able to check off one or two items yet the balance goes wanting. What is wrong with this picture? Experts in human behavior have suggested that goal-setting and/or resolutions may bring feelings o ..read more

Thoughts on Holidays

  by Rev. Amari Magdalena As of 10am this morning, I've already been inundated with holiday and black Friday ads in the hundreds on all of my hotmail, yahoo, and gmail accounts. It got me thinking about consumerism and lost purpose of the Festivals of Light, seasonal hibernation, and the going within period that winter presents. Listing to the Eagles "Life in the Fast Lane" yet again, I am seeing more and more the one-way trip most of us are on that in no way supports our spirits. I'm also remembering a Christmas that my late, great friend, Jonell and I shared with homeless families in Se ..read more

 Thoughts On Turning 81 Today by Rev. Amari Magdalena Last year at 80 I was in the Emergency Room of Mountain View Hospital awaiting a room through the night. As I reflect back, I grew up in a time of more innocence and fewer freedoms for women and people of color. We now live in a time of lost innocence and great freedoms though some are being eroded by misguided information and desire to return to other times. It seems in the 60’s we threw out the proverbial baby with the bath water and didn’t think about some things that created a much nicer society with more compassion and caring fo ..read more
