In the last ezine, I answered three questions from men. I wanted their perspective and concerns on their Spiritual paths. You may see their questions and my answers on the WisdomDance web site. Here are three more of their questions.

The queries they posed are complex, not easily answered and important to all of us. I have often sat and stared at the words, smiled at the lessons they were bringing me and will now do my best to give thoughtful and short answers. I would love to have the space to give fuller responses, but alas I am equally committed to making this ezine user friendly.

Gentlemen, thank you for all the questions you sent, not just the ones that are published. You have given me insight, not only to into yourselves, but into the issues and concerns that face modern men on a Spiritual path.

There is an aura of hostility of much of the scientific establishment towards the Spiritual community. Can science and Spirit ever be totally reconciled in the minds of humanity; meaning, will people ever come to manifest a reality in which science becomes one with Spirit? —M F, Arizona

In this generation, I don’t see it happening. We are still too much in ego and competition. In future generations, I hope so. A wonderful book called The Universe Is A Green Dragon by Brian Swimme discusses this issue. This physicist and Associate Director of The Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality takes us on a enlightening journey of reuniting physics and metaphysics. I read this years ago and it still holds a prominent place among my Sacred books. Basically, science is the logical way to explain the Spiritual phenomenon or magic. The split between science and Spirit occurred to push us forward in our search for understanding. The two paths are closely parallel and not in competition. If you look closely, they are beginning to touch and even cross over from time to time.

How does one maintain being both a steady and supportive person for yourself and for your loved ones as well as being a leader of change and stewardship? —G W, California

They are one and the same. Stewardship and leadership begin with self. Are you your own best leader? Do you take care of you so that you can cleanly take care of the world? Remember that our service to humanity and the planet is to be an overflow of our own well being. To use another idiom, we must practice what we preach or we are teaching hypocrisy. Living in true balance is a new concept, not well understood and scarcely practiced. We are learning as we go. Most of us were raised in a “you make it happen or die trying” reality. The knowledge of practicing the Law of Attraction and knowing when to add action is still being unearthed from our memories. The answer today is to listen to your heart and keep asking, ‘Does this make me happy and fit my values?’ Ask yourself with every situation and listen for your truth. You will live your best balance.

In considering my life as it is right now, how can I tell that I am learning the lessons that are most important to my evolution? —C D P, North Carolina

I have been looking at this issue a lot lately. Look at what is working and not working in your life. If you are consistently avoiding something or have a reoccurring theme, that is where your lesson(s) lie. You will see those themes in your health, finances, relationships, career, family – anywhere and everywhere. All lessons are important to your evolution as a person and as a soul. It is when we are in denial or have become comfortable with pain that we are actually out of balance. Embracing your lessons with forgiveness of yourself and others, understanding and a sense of humor with your journey can bring joy, ease, incredible learning and grace. We don’t have to have chaos and/or pain to have excitement and growth.

As I said before, these are very brief answers. I do hope that they have given you some insight and inspiration.
