Those who were kind enough to respond to the post (now deleted) regarding confusion about two web sites, and another’s, that shared the same general topic (Christian Mystics) and echoed my template, thank you.
No note was kinder than the one sent from the person whose website was puzzled over.
I’m very sorry about the confusion that [...]

Lots of words lately, and I think maybe too many, but this morning I awoke remembering a short story that just seems to fit.
“You certainly go to the Church quite often,” one person said.
“I usually go very early in the morning and leave sometime later that afternoon,” said the second.
“Lots of people?”
“No, not really. Most [...]

Perhaps I’m interested in Twitter because, well, I’ve often been called a twit.
In any event, am plugging along to see how this things works and am being helped by people such as Jenn. I did just send out invites to join the Brian Robertson Christian Mystic community. I have to say, however, that there are [...]

Lots of very spirited and interesting back and forth about Christianity and meditation practices last few days, which I really have enjoyed and greatly appreciate.

Great comments and email regarding the past few columns that touched a bit on meditation!
One of our visitors was interested in this site and I don’t see any reason not to check it out and see what your own reactions are to it. I do have to say, there is a wonderful pdf of a [...]

Got a reply back from the person I sent the email to and he makes a good point. I couldn’t resist replying to it.
I agree that most Christian’s views of eastern practices are based on fear. If it’s not in the Bible, then it must be evil!
“Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm [...]

Part of the joy of this blog for me is that I get fantastic letters from people, some of which I don’t always have the time to answer. I just got one from a reader and long time back and forth email friend asking some interesting questions. I thought I’d share my reply although, of [...]

What is it that makes for Living Christianity? What is the Christ Path? How do we know we are on it and, perhaps more importantly, how do we know we have stepped off the trail and are finding out way deeper into an unfriendly wilderness?
I would suggest that there are four qualities or touchstones that [...]

Yesterday’s blog on Thich Nhat Hahn and the idea of anger from a spiritual point of view drew a lot of emails my direction, most of them extremely positive. I ended up getting so many questions about what was meant by this or that and requests that I expand on what was said, I decided [...]
As you'll discover, we have a great library of things to investigate, as well as the freshness of a blog for lessons, reflections, rambling thoughts and more.
I hope you'll enjoy the journey!
Blessings,
Brian Robertson
