A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
- Lao Tzu
How do we know if spirit is real? How do we recognize its voice? How does it work within us?
Some people experience physical feelings when they “hear” their spirit. They feel shivers or goosebumps; they get a “gut feeling,” or a sense of calmness suddenly comes upon them. Others see images, visions and flashes of insight.
Author Pat Conroy said as much when he first encountered his prospective students on South Carolina’s Daufuskie Islands. Even though he lacked teaching experience and was not yet prepared, he knew immediately upon seeing them that he was meant to teach these children. they were “meant to be his students.” How did he know?
For many of us, we “hear” our spiritual voice. No one else hears it, yet the words surround us with an insightful message or words of protection that give us hope.

Organizations are created to fulfill a purpose. Corporations, small businesses, churches, schools, social clubs, and even the family, are organizations invented for a purpose. We participate in organizations for many reasons. Some are work related, some educate us, and some entertain us. The reasons are endless. Each is regulated by expectations and roles within the nature of the organization. We are all members of organizations, and we cannot be without them.
But when events in our lives take a downward turn, and the purposes of the organizations to which we belong can no longer support us, we find ourselves in disarray. For example, the expectations and roles of our financial and investment institutions and our mortgage companies collapsed causing an economical crisis. The result was unemployment, foreclosures, and loss of retirement funds. People experienced fear, depression, anger and loneliness. It also caused a breakdown of roles in the family for many causing dysfunction and resulting in pain, anger and sometimes violence.
