    THE NEW CHURCH FOR THE NEW AGE

    DEVOTION

    A daily practice of prayer and meditation and contemplation is essential for awakening. There are many paths of devotion. Choose one or more from the following. Faithfully follow that path for as long as necessary, possibly the rest of your life.

  • CENTERING PRAYER & LECTIO DIVINA -- Father Thomas Keating has brought new life to ancient practices of the church.
  • THE LECTIONARY -- The Lectionary is a great way to read through the Bible on a daily and/or weekly basis. Many Christian churches use the Lectionary.
  • DAILY WORD -- Unity's DAILY WORD is a devotional booklet used by millions. You can be a part of a global community united for peace and healing.
  • BRUDERHOF'S DAILY DIG provides a daily dose of wisdom for spiritual growth, peacemaking and building a just society.
  • HYMNS -- While this particular website is Presbyterian, it connects to other hymn websites. Start singing as you listen to the audio accompaniment which is often provided!
  • DAILY ZEN -- Zen Buddhism is closely associated with the Chinese TAO TE CHING. I have found enormous inspiration and guidance by turning to this source often.
  • A COURSE IN MIRACLES -- I think you have to buy the book. I don't think the course is on the web. I may be wrong. I have found ACIM to be a fantastic and very challeging course developing a heavenly way of thinking beyond any ego attachment. I have been working on the text and the 365 lessons since 1989. ACIM is definitely not for everybody although a course in miracles in one form or another is a required course. Mary Ann Williamson applies many of the principles of ACIM in her books, lectures and website. For many, she makes ACIM comprehensible!
  • NEW 1/31/07 + WahiduddinNet offers A Daily Bowl of Saki, a wonderful devotional tool on the Sufi practice of love. The January 31, 2007 bowl of saki exemplifies this wisdom. Excerpts: "The pleasures of life are blinding; it is love alone that clears the rust from the heart, the mirror of the soul." -- Hazrat Inayat Khan | "The heart of man, as the Sufis say, is a mirror. All that is reflected in this mirror is projected upon other mirrors. When man has doubt in his heart that doubt is reflected upon every heart with which he comes in contact. When he has faith that faith is reflected in every heart. Can there be a more interesting study and a greater wonder than to observe this keenly?" -- Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan.
  • NEW 4/19/06 + INNER FRONTIER offers Joseph Naft on the Practice of Devotion (a new IF page as of 12/5/05).
  • NEW 12/8/05 + INNER FRONTIER offers Joseph Naft on the Practice of Prayer. It begins: "Prayer is the heart of the spiritual path. When you ponder why this universe exists, you might speculate that the Creator needs beings who can pray, that in prayer a necessary exchange of energies and will flows between the created and the Creator."
