5. BIO: "I BELIEVE"

In my own developing spirituality, I clearly recall the, ‘Moment’, as a cloistered Carmelite Nun, when I was ‘awakened’ to an unspeakable, ‘awareness’, of my ‘effective-relationship’ with everyone -- past, present, future -- through my every thought, word, and deed. This deepening ‘awareness’ of the ‘Eternal-Connectedness’, we all have with one another profoundly ‘impacted’ both mind & heart. This, ‘Awareness Moment’, I now understand, was also The Spirit’s introduction to my understanding the threefold ‘relationship’ of the Universal ‘Call’ for Freedom-Unity-Integrity and a Trinitarian, ‘SOURCE’ . . . My belief in a, 'Trinitarian God' -- Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier -- came from the Protestant and Roman Catholic Belief Systems of my child and early adulthood years. Regarding this particular aspect of my belief relative to, Threefold 'Call' and Trinitarian ‘relationship’, the following summarizes my current personal, 'theology'.

I believe that I am created and sustained, Eternally, IN my SOURCE (GOD), the same, ‘ONE’, SOURCE I also believe created and sustains everyone else and all of creation. Our Eternal, ‘connectedness’, is through our spirits which were Always in the MIND/HEART of our SOURCE, and will always ‘be’. I believe that,‘who’ I 'am' is not ‘confined’ to/in ‘time’ . . . that, ’who’ I 'am' is not my physical body, which is given me that I may serve others in this material life, in ‘time’ . . .

In my understanding and belief, our SOURCE is an Eternal, Cyclical Movement of LOVE/PEACE, ‘BEING’. . . and this, ‘SOURCE-BEING’ is Eternally, ‘EXPRESSED’, through a Creating-Redeeming-Sanctifying, ‘PRESENCE’. This Eternal, ‘PRESENCE’, my Christian background teaches me, stepped into ‘time’ in the PERSON of Jesus Christ . . . And, through this, ‘INCARNATION-MOMENT’, in familiar, 'Human Form', I am ‘enabled’ to ‘see’ my ETERNAL SOURCE as PERFECT LOVE/PEACE . . . Through Jesus, as our ‘Way', I can ‘see’ how to, ‘be’, ‘LOVE/PEACE’, with and for everyone else. And, since I am, “made in the IMAGE and LIKENESS”, of my SOURCE, my every, ‘movement of being’, is ‘Called’ to be a ‘Reflection’ of LOVE/PEACE . . .

At this ‘Moment’ that I, ‘realized’, how my life ‘effects’ everyone else’s life, the words attributed to Jesus in Scripture took on new ‘depth’ of meaning:

“Whatever you do to the least of these little ones you do to Me.”

I believe that, we are all ‘Members’ with one another – all ‘parts’ of the ONE ‘Body’ of our ONE SOURCE, no matter our Belief System. I believe that persons of all Belief Systems on this earth are ‘Called’ to, together, ever strive to consciously enter into this Eternal Cyclical LOVE-PEACE MOVEMENTS of our, ‘ONE-SOURCE’, by mutually embracing a, Creative Freedom, a Redeeming Unity, and, a Sanctifying Integrity.

As individuals, families, and communities, let us encourage one another to open our minds and hearts that we may ‘recognize’ this Threefold, ‘SOURCE-Call’, to all Peoples. Consequentially, ‘attack’, in any and in all forms would cease . . . an Era of PEACE would be ushered in . . . ‘Together’, it is, ultimately, we who choose war or who choose PEACE.
