What is it like to experience the presence of God? Drawing from the Contemplative Prayer tradition there are three general ways Gods presence has been described: an intellectual vision or grasp God, an intuitive sense of God, and a social interactive sense of God's presence. The intellectual vision first requires that our emotions are quieted and mistaken images of God are removed from the intellect. With the intuitve sensing of God's presence, the intellect is stilled since God is beyond our full understadning. After the emotions have been cleared of old hurts, resentments and angers, we can begin to sense God as a calming presence,
In the next episode, we will look at the social interactive sense of God's presence.

Eps 83 Spiritual Discernment pt 1
In this episode, we begin a series on spiritual discernment, how to find out what is Gods will for us in different situations. Or if you prefer, what is the spiritual purpose of one's life. First we look at what will not be covered in this series regarding spiritual discernement. A related issue is how spirituality is defined. In particular, what is meant by the phrase "I am spiritual but not religious?"
Finally, a definition of spirituality is suggested that will be our beginning point.

Eps 82 How to Find Gratitude pt 6
At last we have climbed the ladder to reach gratitude. Along the way we have looked at several values that help us reach gratitude. Gratitude is possible about little things such as a good meal or a good movie. What we aim for is a broader understanding of gratitude. We look again at Fr. Thomas Merton's advise and discover one more value, humility. With so many values supporting gratitude, how do we keep them up? Gratitude is an ongoing dance between these various values that helps us to be thankful for the many good things in our lives.
In the next episode, we will start a new series on Spiritual Discernment.
