There is no part of our Divinity within that is quite as beautiful as our sexuality. Men of the church have made sex to be “sinful” because that judgment comes out of their failed spirituality. There is nothing quite like human orgasm that reminds us of feeling and knowing The Divine within. Our genitals were made to give us great pleasure. When two people share intimacy as two parts of The Divine, what else could it be? Every act of [...]

Why do our own shadows reveal in all that we see around us? Why are others but a mirror for ourselves to see who we are? What I can’t see in myself is always on my “radar screen” when I look at others and prevents me from seeing them just as they are! When I am able to look at my mistakes, own them, understand why I did what I did, choose to transform my shadow self, and choose to [...]

Did you have any experiences today that required you to choose between forgiveness and holding on to the pain? Between hate and love? Between causing yourself more pain or healing what is holding you back from your highest Self? In thinking about our power of memory and the ability to recall experiences that have wounded us, the pain associated with them, and the choices we’ve habitually made around these, I was also remembering the experiences that have brought me great [...]

How often do we habitually focus on what is “wrong” with us rather than what is good? How often do others focus on what they can criticize rather than praise? Today, how has your Divinity been shining through? That act of kindness, the moment you included someone else, that energy of support, the act of empathy for someone else, that word of encouragement, your action of creativity, or your cooperation with another? All of these and much, much more are [...]

Who is the “missing person” in your life? Who is it that is causing you the most difficulty? Who is adding the most good to your life? With whom are you dancing when you are all alone? The truth is we are much more than we’ve ever been allowed to claim. But why do we wait for anyone else to approve or disapprove? Today is the day to claim all the beauty that we have yet to bring forth from [...]

Healthcare? Coming shortage of doctors? When did we become totally dependent upon medical doctors, drug companies, and health insurance? What could be different? Last time I wrote about the Aramaic Jesus and his healing methods when, in working with those in need of healing, loudly proclaimed, “Eph-phatah” and healing was accomplished. What did he do? His favorite name for himself was “son of man” not “son of God.” By that he was claiming his humanity, not part of a theological [...]

Where are the Healers in our midst? Yesterday and today I’ve been helping a neighbor who is almost 90 get to the hospital for some surgery. So, I’ve missed blogging the past few days. My neighbor’s doctor told me today that he doesn’t think it will be long before there will be few if any doctors providing medical services except for anyone but the super wealthy. I pondered that for a few minutes and then thought about how we could [...]

Today is the first day you can download my newest book, Conversations with “St.” Paul: The Homosexual. This book is for all who have been wounded by an extremist Christianity that loves to condemn people instead of recognizing that the human shadow is our repressed Divinity. We are One. I desire to bring healing to those deeply wounded by shame and guilt theology and those who preach it. I have a very interesting time conversing with Paul. You will find [...]

We are all in relationships. This we cannot change. Relationships are what life is all about. This is why the “non-religious” Aramaic Jesus said that Love is paramount. Nothing else is as important. I wrote the following this morning. May it touch you lovingly. SHARED DIVINITY–As the sun brings the beauty of shadow, so the shadow takes me to the beauty of Light. You are like the Sun of Divinity revealing my shadow. [...]

Who is creating your life today? You? Someone else that wants to keep you smaller than they are? Someone who is afraid of your Light? Someone from the past that told you “you’ll never…”, or “you aren’t good enough to…”? Someone who loves to focus on the negatives instead of the truth? In your power of choice, no one can take charge of what only you have the power to do–create the best you there has ever been! Your Divinity [...]

As a former minister, Jim Stacey uncovers how Christianity has perverted the message of Jesus in Jesus was not a Christian. Instead of practicing love for our neighbors, love for enemies, turning the other cheek, the kingdom within, and birthing a new self that Jesus said were paramount for one who claims to follow him, Christians have blindly followed church rules and regulations. Stacey shows just how much has been lost, including a recognition of the feminine face of God. Belief held no power for Jesus, but practicing his message was all that mattered. Christianity has lost the Jesus they claim to follow, but in Jesus was not a Christian, Stacey brings back Jesus and his real message. Provocative and inspirational, Jesus was not a Christian points the way to a deeper spiritual practice of Jesus' words, instead of just more religion.
