Through Us, Not From Us

What I have come to understand is that everything our senses experience has come through us, not from us. In other words, the material world is already created, so its slow vibration is only the reflection of highly potent “pre-manifested energy.” So, if what is already out there, people, animals, things, isn’t a “source,” what is?

The famous tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, was asked “What does it feel like to sing like that?” He said (paraphrase) “You fall backwards into the arms of God and the voice comes through you, not from you.” Of course, he tuned his “instrument” over his lifetime and created a sacred, vibrational alignment to express his gift.

Our biggest mistake as humans is to seek from the material level what can only come through us from the Invisible where all things originate. This leads to chronic frustration and disappointment. It leads to overconsumption and serial relationships in search of that “special thing, or that special one.” The most inspiration exists before a song, a relationship, a painting, a book comes into manifestation. There are unique gifts waiting to be expressed through each of us. We must find the alignment with the Invisible asking to be manifest through each of us to avoid the addiction to things and to other people.

In faith and stillness, clearing the pathways of awareness and receptivity, may each of us overcome our addictions to that which is in the world and reach for that which is not of this world.

With love, Rosanne

Who to Trust?

By Rosanne Bostonian | May 18, 2020

I do not know who to trust regarding politics, pandemics and general pandemonium.   I am so tired of trying to figure it all out that I am diving for the remote when I see President Trump, Dr. Fauci and any of a host of opinionated pontificators. The truth may be “No One Knows.”  It would…

Agnosia

By Rosanne Bostonian | May 15, 2020

There is a neurological term known as agnosia.  It refers to the inability to recognize or know.  In the “Day of the Mask,” the omission of nose and mouth makes for a bit of a challenge in (a) recognizing someone you know strictly by their eyes,  (b) putting non-verbal cues to the inaudible, muffled voice…

Intermission

By Rosanne Bostonian | April 28, 2020

Now, donning my mask with the stretched ear holders and planting it under my glasses for stability, I notice that my exhalations filter north and cloud my vision. I also notice that people cheat and leave their noses out of the mask. These are the same people who cheat on their spouses and probably on…

Toilet Paper v. Tissues and Paper Towels

By Rosanne Bostonian | March 23, 2020

Well, we’re all in the middle of a sudden “change of times.”  I confess I paid $15 dollars for one of two remaining packages of toilet paper at the local Kings market.  The limit was two packages, but I couldn’t remove the last package and leave someone’s backside bereft. I then noticed that the tissue…

I know everyone has different opinions about Mr. Trump, the array of Democratic candidates and the relentless process of electing a President and Congress in 2020.  The irony of “20/20” isn’t lost on me, since our partisan politics demonstrates the narrowest of vision.  “Me, me, my, me and (if you’ve forgotten) ME!  The facts of…

The Shelf Life of Culture

By Rosanne Bostonian | February 14, 2020

Every social order seems to go through a process as if it’s a living being.  There is the birth, the life and ultimately the death. New society is born of conflict with pre-existing ways that have caused separation and rebellion.  Our country was born in the sense of marginalization and unfairness by England.  “Give me…

Adjusting to Rapid Change

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 17, 2020

How do you keep up? We all like to “know that we know!” When change is happening rapidly, we confront what we don’t know on a daily basis. This means accepting the “I Don’t Know Zone” as a part of daily living and accommodating to the learning necessary to move with the times. For me,…

Bias Reporting

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 17, 2019

Subjective Truth Since most of us operate under the rule of “confirmational bias,” i.e., selective confirmation for what we already believe, the notion of objectivity in the press has become a relic of the past. The competition for viewership, listenership and readership has polarized the media into warring camps. I wonder if the journalism schools…
