Inspiration for My Spiritual Windows

-



I have been asked who inspired me to create an online website or forum. The person was John Winthrop Austin, webmaster and friend of author James Redfield. In September of 2004, sitting in an office in Chicago I received an email from John, asking to use my beach spirit picture in the monthly web magazine he was doing from James site. I agreed, and from the few conversations I had with John, knew he was a special person.

The photo, was used as he had intended, though when the articles did not change the next month, I inquired and found out John had died suddenly in November of 2004. The photo, which was included, was to be in his last set of articles created. The comment made by John in our brief encounter was “where is the website to link for you?” At the time, a website did not exist – what was born from his inquiry is the ongoing use of My Spiritual Windows in cyber.

The picture shown on the link taken after his death shows the green light, which is also seen on my photo taken on the beach of Malibu as I stood in the waters as the sun was going down during a vacation trip to southern CA. For myself, green is the color of healing. Just maybe – John’s image he was sending back was being now part of healing and transformation. I will not say RIP John; he is far from just resting – though in highest peace. Thank you John for your inspiration.

The syncronicity (sp) of the encounter with John for myself, will never be forgotten. My Spiritual Windows has circled the people of this world from his prompting never imagining he would be leaving this world so soon afterwards.

Happy Birthday to Mr. John Austin! Infinite and wonderful, you are still touching lives!

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t...

Spiritual Windows – My perception

-
Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin...

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand. ...
