For the Tribe
Sally and Jackie met years ago and had chemistry. They each have a calling for the overlooked people and things.
They have prayed together regularly for transitions of all kinds, including the final transition back to the presence of God.
This week, Jackie is in hospice, and her final weeks have been THE MOST AMAZING transition I have ever seen. The grace of God on her spirit and her soul is unprecedented. While her body is dying, she is living her best life.
Even the dynamics with the medical staff and her pastor are fluid, on time, and done with excellence and sensitivity.
We all have plenty to pray about. But some of you have a special grace for transitions. You might consider praying into this topic for yourself and your loved ones, knowing you will have uncommon authority because of your design.
The Protestant movement began with convergent thinking, which lends itself heavily toward binary ideas which in turn, feeds the spirit of slavery.
Sonship is deeply vested in divergent thinking. Most of the great enterprises of human history emerged from divergent thinking.
When God is framed around convergent thinking, it produces cults. When God is seen through the journey of divergent thinking, it produces intimacy that transforms us and the world.
STC 111 Thinking Clearly – and the other forthcoming classes in this series – is designed to salvage what is valuable about convergent thinking skills you have mastered, to legitimize your using divergent thinking, and to equip you to move between the two.
Here is a video that builds out the concept in some detail.
We think we see a pattern in community that reflects God's hand in the Mercy Season.
Watch this video and see if this fits any circumstances you have been experiencing recently.
In our brain research, we have recently begun exploring the subcortical region of the brain with a focus on the basal ganglia, which we feel comes from the Mercy fractal.
Neurotoxicity in the basal ganglia causes problem with movement, memory and emotions, among other things.
One guinea pig’s spirit has successfully cleaned up one nucleus and brought it from dark/toxic to glowing with the life of God. An exciting beginning.
And in research today, I found this statement. “The basis for selective vulnerability of the putamen and pallidum is unknown.”
Talk about an invitation for a spirit/principle approach to the problem. If we can figure out why the neurotoxins attack those two parts of the ecosystem, we can reverse engineer the issue to determine what will maintain robust health, and what we can do to repair damaged facets of the basal ganglia.
Hope and excitement are flying high over here.
