The Path 2 Poem:
The Mystic of the Week is St
Catherine (1347-1380) St. Catherine was profoundly
interested in every human being who ever came before
her. She devoted herself to relieving the mental and
emotional suffering of the hundreds who sought her
out; her words and her touch bestowed a soothing
grace. "Strange she once said that so much suffering
is caused because of the misunderstanding of God's
true nature."
"This Place of
Abundance,"
We know nothing until we know
everything. ;
I have no object
to defend, for all
is of equal value to me.
I cannot lose
anything in this place Of
abundance I have found.
If something my heart cherishes is
taken away,
I just say, "Lord what happened?"
And a hundred more appear.
-St. Catherine
Path 2 Exercise:
Ponder this poem for a day
- every day for the week. Note what it means to you
and note your thoughts. Those meeting in a group
will share what they are moved to share about those
thoughts.
Mystical Path 2 Your Unique
Path of Creativity and Prosperity: The Everyday
Mystic
Chakra Two:
Water, Emotional identity, oriented to
self-gratification
The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower
back, and sexual organs, is related to the element
water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us
to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and
movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and
grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the
ability to accept change.
Joan Borysenko says the key to Path 2
is Generosity of Spirit - being secure enough in
ourselves that we can receive from God and give to
others in a way that encourages both of us (our male
and female aspects) to bring forth our creative
gifts. She further writes, ... the highest intention
of those who are generous in spirit is to encourage
the creative potential in themselves and others
...they trust whatever is needed will be provided.
Abundance becomes manifest when one's intention is
generous.
Suggestions for the Path 2 Mystic
( the details of these suggestions are in Joan's
book.)
Take Stock of Your Boundaries, Your Territorial Male
Aspect- Are you rigid and withholding or are your
boundaries inadequate?
Take Stock of Your "Grow With The Flow" the
Creative, the Female Aspect - are you open to new
ideas, to the power of dreams, intuition? Are you
willing to discard projects where you have already
invested energy and time, when you instinct tells
you to move on. Do you give yourself permission to
brainstorm, to be wrong?
Do Your Part to Manifest Abundance Practically - you
need to do your part. Are you following through?
Are you staying in dysfunctional relationships? Are
you cooperating with the growth process just as a
seed develops into a flower with water, nourishment,
sunshine, the right temperatures and environment.
In God We Trust--The words on our
currency. Thank God in advance for the abundance and
creativity in your life, trusting you will receive
it.
What is Your Creative Intention:

Read the book 7 Paths To God through
Path #
Be gentle with yourself. What can you
do in order to create this? How are you hard on
yourself in everyday life?
What are the key elements of change? Are you open to
change?
What to you need, in order to accept who you are -
the shape of your body, the way you use your mind,
the space you hold in this world?
Pay particular attention to the suggestions (see
above) and also follow your own inner guidance.
In the group we will be exploring ways we can:
Clearly define what it is that we want and why we
want these things
How we can progress with purpose and appropriate
speed to achieving the goals we have defined.
What do we do when our goals change?
How do we enjoy the process while we
work on the destination.
