What’s It All About?
The Language We Speak
2018 Thanksgiving note
Here in the U.S. we are celebrating our Thanksgiving holiday. In our house we are quickly converting the kitchen/dining/living room area from the construction storage site it has been for the past few weeks back into a welcoming space for guest and gluttony. The new floors and doors are in (doors still need paint – thankful for a long week-end), new appliances start arriving Saturday, and a new kitchen plan is coming together for action in upcoming weeks.
We are not forgetting our neighbors who are still dealing with hurricane aftermath, the loss of loved ones, and those just starting the fire recovery process. The outward appearance of these challenges is undeniable and the work ahead daunting. We are thankful for the many heroic efforts of officials, friends and strangers who step gracefully into their “angel” personas serving however needed when called upon.
We are thankful knowing these outward appearances do not define our neighbors nor ourselves. The power to cope with the task at hand continues as always to emanate from within; flowing through us displacing any fears or doubts that momentarily distract us. We are thankful knowing the politics of our nation and around the world do not define the wonderful people who do the work day in and day out of simply being human – kind, smart, compassionate Spiritual beings choosing constantly to allow their True nature to shine through life’s darkest moments.
We are thankful that we are able to enter into home remodeling by choice not circumstance, and thankful knowing that whatever outward appearances demonstrate wherever people are today, the sun rises again tomorrow bringing new opportunities, new angels, and another day to be thankful for.
Judging a Book by Its Cover
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
We are quick to believe what we want to believe. We become so entrenched in our need to be right that we grasp on to any evidence that seems to confirm our belief whether it confirms our belief or not. A chain e-mail based on a 2008 photo of President Obama holding the book by Fareed Zakaria “The Post-American World” is still making the rounds as evidence of selective belief. Zakaria is a highly respected journalist who describes himself as, “. . . not a religious guy.”
The uninformed claims of the anonymous e-mail author were debunked in the Factcheck.com article “Obama’s Reading Material” posted October 1, 2009 by Lori Robertson. “Wanna believers,” or dis-believers depending on your view, still site the photo as proof of their unenlightened convictions regarding Obama’s religion and agenda. All of us fall into this trap from time to time. We forget our Spiritual Truth, empower our egos and embark on a quest to be proven right. We select evidence that supports our belief rather than letting the body of evidence lead us to the truth.
“The Post-American World” is actually a celebration of the American economy’s domination over factional and marginalized religious and political blocs. The world economy is homogenizing around the American free market model, and nations once seen as “foreign” and “hostile” are becoming more and more to be trade partners rather than trade rivals. The American rising tide is lifting all boats. America is winning and this is what victory looks like. We often miss opportunities to be happy because our good shows up differently than we expected. Our ego sets an expectation that the universe ignores and we are unhappy because our expectation is not met even though our goal is fulfilled.
For many an American victory resembles a video game with one nation standing among a smoldering ruin of vanquished foes. A quick review of the past century is in order. World War I left the German economy in shambles leading to World War II. The world powers adjusted their thinking and post war Germany was rebuilt with a thriving economy that not only endures to this day, but who’s “American” model dominated its “Soviet” model leading to a reunited country and strong western ally. Japan was bombed into submission and also evolved into an American modeled super economy. North Korea has remained in the dark ages, but its ally China’s economy is unrecognizable to its mid-century Communist architects. Vietnam is a bitter memory to Americans but economically is vibrant in a hybrid fashion. We prosper when we recognize our similarities and work together.
In sports rival teams acknowledge each other’s efforts with a post-game hand shake regardless the score or intensity of the contest. We recognize it as good sportsmanship to extend a hand to a fallen rival to assist them to their feet. There is nothing American about “piling on,” driving an opponent into the ground beyond any possible recovery. Spirit, our loving source, does not judge or hold grudges. As quickly as we relinquish our ego driven need to be right, we are realigned with Spirit and unaffected by chaotic appearances. We enjoy harmony in relationships and our prosperity unfolds before us.
Our perceptions inform our beliefs more strongly than facts. Our egos choose to believe our perceptions and commit to defending them in defense of itself. If our perceptions are correct, our ego is correct, our ego is happy our soul is in turmoil. Our soul knows the facts and becomes restless when they conflict with our belief.
We perceive a world torn by conflict and dominated by terrorist. “The Post-American World” informs us that the facts tell a different story. The facts demonstrate that there is less general warfare in the world and although horrible, terrorist acts are much less influential than we perceive them to be. The Americanized world economy recovers from each episode more quickly each time. Zakaria reminds us that our instant communication reality, our twenty four/seven news cycle and social media connect us to and fill our perceptions with every demonstration of frustration and fear whenever and wherever is occurs in our world. Fifty years ago millions died in conflicts around the world with little or no witness.
When we allow ourselves to believe what others say about us we are buying into the media hype. Each retelling of the story bends the truth a little more and we become more disconnected from our Spiritual Truth. We can break the cycle of internal misinformation by remember that our story is now and stories are transient. Our soul, Spirit is forever and unchanging. We can choose to turn off the media in our head that informs our perceptions and reconnect to our Spiritual Truth. Stop fueling the myths and what remains is Truth. Truth is harmony, there is no resistance, and the vibration is as smooth and steady as a well maintained machine.
The facts inform us that contrary to our perceptions Muslim leaders are instrumental in emasculating jihadist claiming to represent the religion. Tireless efforts by a united world police have neutralized countless threats and these united efforts continue with common respect and goals. The facts revealed through polling analysis indicate that currently Westerners are more inclined to accept collateral casualties in pursuit of wrongdoers than Muslims.
“The Post-American World” illuminates the changing role of the United States in the world’s economy. As everyone’s “skin in the game” increases the wisdom of working together becomes apparent. No one enjoys being told what to do. Everyone likes to emulate success. The world is catching on to America’s success and wants to play, not be played. Competition is healthy and rivalries promote exceptional efforts but at the end of the day the post American world will be more supportive and less combative recognizing that a successful competitor is a good customer.
As we recognize ourselves in others, release our ego’s need to be right and embrace harmony over victory our lives become more enjoyable. America’s western economic model is the example for the world. Each of us is an example to our world. The joy within us is as contagious as success. Cooperation brings joy, domination fosters fear. Our successful world leaders recognize this truth and are embracing collaboration as the next step in our human evolution.

A Matter of Perception
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
Gold and white, or blue and black. It’s all in our individual perception. All the buzz in social media this week over the colors of a dress demonstrates a basic challenge in human relationships. Clearly, even when presented with the exact same information, our individual interpretations can produce dramatically different conclusions.
It seems that for almost every question there are at least two viable options and camps of supporters for both. In his nineteenth century illuminations on ethics, John Stuart Mill described the term “Utilitarianism” as basically falling similarly into two camps, Rule utilitarianism and Act utilitarianism, allowing for a universe of moderations in between.
On the one hand a society is best served by establishing a well thought through set of rules that when followed unerringly by all would create the most happiness for the most people. The polar opposite forgoes establishing formal rules allowing that individual acts are judged by their effect on society. The latter position allows for circumstances to guide values while the former simply demands adherence.
Reasonable people quickly agree that neither position in its extreme is perfect for all occasions. Some formal legal system is required to conduct commerce and maintain a level playing field in complicated social structures. Two farmers however, should be able to trade some grain for a pig with a simple hand shake if both are agreeable to the terms.
Each of us is free to see the dress as gold and white, black on blue or some other combination because we have accepted something between “rule” and “act” utilitarianism. If we agreed that the designer’s proclamation that the dress is blue and black established the only accepted interpretation, the gold and white camp would be in violation of the rule.
The gold and white camp would then be left with two choices; deny the evidence of its own eyes or live in violation of the rule. The former solution provides fodder for a lifetime of therapy, the latter leads to deterioration of respect for the rule and rules in general and eventually anarchy. From this simple example it becomes clear that a strict “rule” society is bound for self-destruction by its self-imposed rigidity.
Our spiritual nature is “rule” based and has only one rule, Love. This core rule allows our human experience to be the chaotic adventure it is because Love can only give us what we expect to receive, and its first gift is freedom. We have freely created our own anarchy by denying the core rule.
Who we are may seem to be an accident of fate, but only if we define ourselves in terms of what we believe and how we perceive the world we live in. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. When we forget that truth and become immersed in the world of effects enveloping us we surrender to the idea of fate. Remembering our faith, our true nature, provides an avenue back to self-determination.
When through our exercise of choice we judge the acts of others by their effect on society, whether or not the result is more happiness, we move back toward the core rule. A couple who choose to share their lives and contribute to their community may do so in violation of some human sourced moral standing, but that standing aside do no harm and much good. This is demonstrating love, the core rule. The act is beneficial, the rule if strictly enforced would harm the couple and provide no appreciable benefit to society.
The rule of love gives us freedom because nothing else would be love. Freedom gives us anarchy because nothing else would be freedom. It is no wonder then that life is a paradox. Spirit or God if you prefer, set us free to find our own way home with no manual or directions. We have the basic intelligence of the universe because we are all expressions of the One Mind, and we have the freedom to use our universal wisdom or deny it.
Whether the dress is one color or another is hardly important. How we choose to accept the interpretation of others is. Are we willing to allow the same value to the interpretations of others as we assign to our own? Does one cause harm and the other not? Is any perceived harm real or simply a violation of someone’s rule? What does the rule of Love demand?
Our freedom to choose may seem a cruel joke when we consider the Universe could have made us adherent to its core rule and saved a history of strife. But what history would there be then if instead of our freedom we were created to conform. Spirit itself is required to conform to its only rule and created us as a means to explore the consequences of freedom.
Our history is often marked by our blunders but also by our triumphs. Every heroic odyssey starts with a disruption of the norm. We heroically stand one more time than we are knocked down and do so over and over again. The Rule of Love is our undeniable core. We have strayed from it on a million roads and travel millions more seeking our return.
We can all agree it is a dress. We can agree that there appear to be two principle colors in its palette. If we start there and understand that everything else is subject to personal interpretations fueled by vastly different experiences, perhaps we can choose to be guided by the only rule that matters, the one that created us all.
Is Spirit doomed by its rigid adherence to its one rule? Only if unconditional love can ever be wrong. Spirit is infinite and thus immortal. What appears as chaos from our limited perspective is simply a neutral element within the greater soul.

Thumbtack Prosperity
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
There is a bulletin board in the mail room of a South Florida community association. Maybe the one you live in. Most of the items pinned to the board are placed there by the association’s management, neatly placed with a push pin placed at each corner. There is a desk organizer on a shelf at the bottom of the bulletin board containing pens, pencils and a generous supply of push pins.
With some regularity others have occasion to place notices on the bulletin board and here is where an interesting
phenomena frequently occurs. Although there is an ample supply of push pins readily available and easily accessible, these notices are haphazardly pinned to the board with push pins purloined from the corners of other notices. The other notices are not left hanging with one corner loose, rather their pins are removed and re-pinned so that two notices are left raggedly posted by one pin at the center in the top and one at the center in the bottom.
Eventually it is not unusual to find more notices all suspended by a single pin while the reservoir in the organizer remains overflowing. A lazy person would use the pins from the organizer, even if only one; it would be easier than rearranging the ones already in use. A deep seeded sense of lack demonstrates as the appearance of poverty even where abundance is within arm’s reach.
Our true beliefs manifest in the simplest ways. Being alert to the clues, even the little ones, can change the course of our lives. Imagine if one day the persons denying themselves the use of the ample supply of push pins awakens to their folly. Out of pride they may continue as they always have and there would be no change, except that now they know there is a better way so there is that extra baggage to tote around.
Say they realize it is easier and neater to use the extra pins and start doing so right away. They will have allowed themselves to release an old idea and move into a new experience. In the world of dragon fighting mythologies this is the single armor scale being torn away; an occurrence that never ends well for the dragon.
Where else in their lives have they been denying their wealth? Where have they been hording an endless supply? Is there something holding you back, or is it something you are holding on to? What clues are you overlooking, and what are you ready to let go of?
Many of us go through our entire live never knowing we have control over how we feel, never knowing we can change the course we are on at any time. Sometimes we need an ah-ha moment to stimulate our attention. Nature has many tools to bring that about; some more appealing than others. One choice we can make is to be proactive by employing our own tools first.
Tool number one, Understanding our True Nature: These individual lives we are living are just cells in a much bigger organism. The evidence? Everything that lives finds a way to cluster with other living things, we are collaborative beings, suggesting a connections that transcends the physical. We have commonalities that we build upon. At basic levels we are all alike, laughing, crying, lusting, caring etcetera.
Tool number two, Understanding the nature of that bigger organism. It is Love. The evidence? It gives us whatever we believe. It does not judge us. It just gives. It is infinite. There is no outer edge. Wherever we perceive an outer edge, it continues beyond our comprehension.
Tool number three, pathfinders. Pathfinders are those in our acquaintance that have already traveled the road ahead, they know where the water holes are and the quick sand. Every spiritual practice has pathfinders. Whether they are called minister, monk, rabbi, mullah, or friend they can help us see things we have been overlooking or didn’t even know to look for.
The universe overflows with push pins. We can use them or not. We can make our lives better or continue as we are. We can use the tools at our disposal or continue scratching at the dirt with our hands. Still not sure you can do it? Stick a pin in that doubt and talk with a pathfinder. You can always come back to your status quo, though never quite the same.

The Hurricane Heart
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
Spring in hurricane country is the time to buy a little extra in preparation for the storm everyone hopes does not appear. Prudent shoppers pick up an extra can of beans, bag of rice or bottled water every time they shop to squirrel away in the pantry or a corner of the garage. These non-perishable extras are accumulated bit by bit into and through the season so that they do not have to be purchased during a panic rush ahead of an eminent storm bearing down.
Our bodies do something similar with the food we eat. Anything not needed for immediate energy is stored as fat for later consumption. And like our imprudent shopper who waits for the storm before stocking up, our bodies also have a panic mode. Our bodies sense when they are not getting enough good nutrients and begin diverting available stocks to storage and shutting down non-essential functions to conserve fuel.
A result of our body’s survival mechanism is a lack of energy and enthusiasm for the things that make living fun, productive and generally worthwhile. We also experience a buildup of fat because our body-mind consortium is convinced there is a scarcity of nutrients even when there is sufficient supply relative to our reduced rate of consumption.
Is it possible that our hearts follow the same survival practices? Do our hearts begin hoarding love when they sense an insufficient supply of renewing love? Does our heart turn inward withholding its stock of love out of fear there may not be enough? Does it harden itself developing an insulating layer that actually suppresses our ability to receive additional consignments of love?
Answering yes to any of the questions above allows an insight into the behavior of the hurtful people in our lives. We are not designed to live without love, it is crucial to our existence. Love is the natural state of the Universe, the prime directive, the Word of God. Our every belief is made true by the love of a Universe that can only say yes to our stated desires. Sensing little or no source of love, our hearts redirect their love impulses toward providing for themselves at the cost of free circulation and eventual self consumption.
The inward focused heart loses its ability to recognize love directed toward it. It becomes self concerned, self-fixated and numb to any attempts to approach it. It becomes hard in its attempt to retain its self-perceived threatened supply. It consumes itself growing more dry and brittle as its stores evaporate.
The ironic paradox is that our fearful heart has its belief fulfilled by a loving Universe that continues to provide in accordance with our beliefs. The 1964 movie “Fate is the Hunter” centered around an airplane that crashed because a cascade of design faults indicated to the pilot that his one good engine was on fire causing him to shut it down and force an unnecessary emergency landing. Our fearful hearts likewise trigger a cascade of reasonable responses to increasingly inaccurate information driving us into undesirable results.
When the inevitable storm hits and the electricity goes off, we quickly eat our perishable foods first saving the dry and canned goods for the extended recovery period. Eventually conditions improve and a new normal emerges. If starving our bodies consume the food in our digestive systems before eventually tapping their fat reserves. Ideally starvation is avoided and our metabolisms stabilize. Our hearts act only on what they know, and continue consuming themselves.
If there is no storm, we use up our stores in the following months clearing our pantries to be refreshed the next year. If we are not faced with starvation our metabolisms adjust and our energy levels return to normal. Proper diet and exercise eventually reduce stored up fats and the resulting new eating habits help us maintain healthy bodies. Our hearts respond to our beliefs, new beliefs open new possibilities.
When we accept the possibility that our beliefs are erroneous, that our instruments are giving us false readings and what we are doing cannot continue we become open to new solutions. If we allow some small part of our self-directed love to be shared with others in some way, we open our pantry and provide an avenue for circulation to resume. Love wants to circulate, its natural state is to be in motion. A tiny crack in our armor erodes into a torrent of love pouring out and rejuvenating our heart with its flow. In response the Universe pours more love in and the cycle accelerates and expands into the limits of our belief.
Unrestricted by our interference love is self-perpetuating and infinitely expansive. Our hearts soften and expand their capacity to absorb becoming a conduit drawing love in as quickly as it can pump love out. When the next storm hits, our pantry will be overflowing, our bodies will be lean and our experience energized and fulfilling as we lead, respond and identify with the power of love.

Change the Channel
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
Another senseless act of terrorism has the media in an uproar this morning. What we know at this moment is that twelve are dead and there are four additional victims of apparently two shooters with automatic weapons in a Paris magazine office. Those are the horrible facts of an unfolding story. Yet with hours of air time to fill the pundits are rolling out every shade of speculation, comparison and party line talking point they can exhume.
These are “news” programs so it is necessary for them to report the facts and they are commentators so it is expected they would provide some background and comparison. What is important is that we as viewers recognize the immediacy of the reporting and the total lack of contextual information available at the scene. In a few minutes of viewing the same several seconds of footage have been run repeatedly as the commentators voiced their speculations. Finally, breaking news, they now had an audio clip where gunfire could be heard in the distance.
Time to change the channel. Do we really need to hear a recording of the gunfire? Do we need to experience the terror of the victims to get the point of the futility of the act? Is it really breaking news that this extra layer of experience is now available to us? Change the channel and redirect our thinking to know that Spirit is fully present in the medical workers tending the victims, in the police as they work their process and especially for the families of the fallen as they come to grips with this unexpected turn in their lives.
This is the news today, but it reflects the news of our daily lives. How often do we react armed with just a handful of facts and buckets of speculation? How often do we tell our stories making the fish bigger and bigger with each reiteration? How often do we fill in the lack of information with beliefs that have not been vetted or even appropriate to the occurrence?
Our heads are filled with pundits. Our parents, families, co-workers and friends are happy to share their opinions and influence our beliefs. “Ain’t it awful” is easy to fuel and popular in every social setting. We seek out the gory details and compete to escalate the horror.
Research indicates that likeminded people reinforce their opinions in the direction of their extremes pulling factions of reason farther and farther apart. Change the channel. If an extreme position is your fate, then surround yourself with loving people. Shun the company of speculation, suspicion and fear. We can equip ourselves with an air of empowerment that allows us to experience the effects of the world without losing our connection to our spiritual selves.
We can walk among the disenfranchised, the fearful and lost souls of our communities and be a beacon of Truth. “Onward Christian Soldiers” speaks to this truth in the form of song reminding us that our Christ nature is not defined by our crucifixions, but by our resurrections. Be aware, be engaged, and most important be brave enough to change the channel.

The Evolution of Employer – Employee Relations
By Rev. Glenn Neil Stocking
The Supreme Court case brought on behalf of Peggy Young who sued United Parcel Service because it would not assign her to light duty when she was pregnant opens a wider question regarding employee – employer relations. Whether UPS did anything legally wrong is yet to be decided, but common practices lends support to their position and a ruling in Ms. Young’s favor will send a noticeable ripple through corporate board rooms.
In the early days of the Industrial Revolution there were no rules in the workplace beyond those established by employers. Show up on time, stay until you are told you can leave and never forget you can be replaced in a heartbeat. Contrary to human nature, human beings were the least valuable component of the industrial machine.
In the agrarian cultures that preceded the rise of the machines beasts of burden were highly prized and well cared for. It was not only humane, but practical. A sick or injured animal could not pull its load and was not easily replaced. Human employees on the farm or ranch often enjoyed a family type environment with its wide range of relationships and usually with their dignity honored. (The notable exception of human bondage notwithstanding)
Perhaps the birth of industrial societies occurring in Great Britain where a hierarchal class system was already entrenched lent direction to how employee – employer relationships developed. The cascade of events that brought more and more people into cities eventually created a critical mass of people unaccustomed to what was in effect several generations of evolution crammed into a few decades. The parallel development of vast colonial empires crushing indigenous populations against the explosion of industrial might fueled an upheaval of humanity and an unnatural distortion of human nature.
In our natural evolution competition for resources always played an important role. Controlling a water way meant having water. Ruling over fertile farm lands or abundant game lands meant having food. Being physically attractive or capable expanded ones choices of family expansions. As we evolved into urbanized societies political power and influence grew in importance. In the Industrial Revolution, the factory hierarchies encompassed all of these features pitting worker against worker to achieve recognition and reward within the artificial environment called “the company.”
The company became God and quickly it was lost to many that God had a Board of Directors and that Board answered to investors ̶ all of whom are human. All decisions deferred to the well-being of the company and the human beings at all levels of the matrix forgot their humanity. The intervening history between then and now has been the story of our return to the truth.
All work place rules and by extension civil laws are enacted in response to some occurrence or perceived possible occurrence that is harmful to the enacting society. Some are logical and make good sense surviving the tests of time. “No Smoking” in the gun powder factory still holds up, and “check your weapons” makes good sense although admittedly argumentative in some circles today.
The pell-mell race to industrial riches threatened to trample human nature, but that nature is a tough bird and the excesses soon enough proved to be too much. Work place accidents, poorly built products and simply the growing pains of technology triggered human responses to the robber baron attitudes that drove the evolution. There are no heroes without a few villains and the growth of industrial ineptitude awoke a new spiritual awareness in the human family.
Reclaiming their humanity laborers joined together in labor unions and through often violent strikes and bitter court battles curbed the arrogant demigods of industrialization. Demonstrating an irony only humans can manifest, the unions too forgot their mission and strayed into excesses that triggered their own demise. However with both sides of the coin having peaked in turn, a somewhat tempestuous middle ground has risen and tempered the extremes.
Corporations have proven to be false gods with scores crumbling into dust as so many statues of fabricated divinity have through time. Rules that restrict whom can work, once commonplace, get little support today. Time off is still culturally regulated with Western Europe seemingly much more human valued than typical American corporate thinking, and here is where we can begin to realign ourselves citing precedent.
American workers still labor under the delusion that everyone can rise to the ranks of the Rockefellers and foolishly shun regulations that might block their ascension. They are fighting the last war, something every generation falls prey to. The great do not become great by copying what others have done. Greatness is bestowed upon those who surpass the norm in spite of its challenges.
The great of today carve success out of a well if sometimes burdensomely regulated environment. Ben and Jerry created the best ice cream in the world using ingredients that are safe to consume and equipment that is safe to work with. Costco enjoys land office business with a workforce that enjoys being part of the customer’s experience and knows the company appreciates the employee’s contribution to the success.
The railroads of old did not embrace the Westinghouse air brake because it was safer; they did so because it reduced losses and lawsuits and boosted profits, but it is safer and we all benefit from it. Safety regulations provide a cushion between innovation and investors providing the impetus to invest until the market proves itself. The auto industry did not adopt seat belts because they had to or because they saved lives; they did so because they boosted sales. Safety innovation continues to drive auto advancements more than cosmetic changes ever did.
Successful corporations today recognize the value of their human assets. Our European counterparts have pioneered worker rights and set a high bar for their American and developing world cousins to match. If corporations want the rights of personhood they face the responsibility of personal relations. The “Golden Rule” applies. Treat others as you would have them treat you! Rules that protect people are good for the company. Rules that demean people demean the company. Short term profits have long term consequences to both the bottom line and the eternal soul.
Rules that empower ineffectual supervisors serve only to reinforce incompetence. Awakening spirituality erases incompetence because it cannot exist in a spiritually empowered environment. Corporations who empower their human assets thrive on their empowerment. UPS like most companies has developed and adopted many good and reasonable rules and policies to protect itself and its investors. Perhaps they will be forced by a court decision to reexamine their motivations and recognize the future includes evolution. Perhaps they will come to that realization on their own. Either way, evolution is inevitable and the winners will adapt.
