The Divine Feminine: Maiden Mother Crone...By: Terry Williams
10:30-11:30am
 
Often we look outside of ourselves to find the spiritual strength, support, and courage needed to live our lives.  The Divine Feminine is not outside of us.  Maiden Mother Crone lives deep inside each individual, male and female alike.  When we look in ourselves, we find the divine feminine.  There, we find ourselves.

Members' Corner
A True Story
By Rick Scholl
 
Night class at the U.   During class a strange tingling sensation comes over me, as if my insides are vibrating.  Class ends and I walk to my car, still tingling.  It continues as I drive home to Anoka.  Half way there, I'm suddenly lifted to what  seems to be the top of the universe.  Spread out below me in every direction the stars shine with brilliant light and color.  And the space between the stars - not empty but alive!  I'm filled with awe in the realization that the universe is alive, and I feel more alive than I ever have.
  
I have no sense of how long this experience lasts, but I suddenly find myself back in my car still driving down the highway.  In a bit of a daze, I look around and see the sky filled with the Northern Lights more brilliant than I had ever seen them.  A sign from God that the experience was real.
..........
 
More and more people are experiencing mystical events for which there is no explanation within the traditional concept of who we are.  The editor thanks Rick for being willing to let others know about his experience...which is affirming to those who have had such occurrences that they are not crazy, but rather, like Rick, are beginning to experience their human birthright.
