Theosophy book club – Integrating the Spirals

December 9, 2024 Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey Art & Music, Connections, Expanding Consciousness, Soul

December 9th – I was made this way

It’s December 9th, 2024; We’ve got a rousing original country song for y’all today! I was made this way finds our talented Adam Cunningham back in the studio soulfully singing his heart out. The pro sound mixing was expertly done by the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-forty-first new music post for 2024! This radio-ready original rockin’ country song will get you moving on a Monday! Ha!

Sending out my Christmas cards

I love connecting with others, though I’m not typically a ‘card person.’ These unique cards really touch my soul. I think it is because they are handmade and painted, as well as, unique–like each of us!

I bought these lovely, each one is unique, Christmas cards from blogger pal Linda, over at: https://creativeartworksblog.wordpress.com and her Etsy shop: Handmade Haven by Linda

I do love meeting in person when possible, or on Zoom. That said, here’s an invitation to the Theosophical book club I’m in if you would like to join us in January 2025: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/08/integrating-the-spirals-book-club-invitation/

Here’s a few more photos of the spa room…

The book I’m finishing

I’ve been diving into this book, He Was Weird, by blogger pal, 80smetalman (Michael D. LeFevre). I hope to be complete around Christmas time and post a separate review post.

The book I’ll begin in January

Screen capture: From the book our Theosophy book club just finished, *Ancient Wisdom for a New Age*, that lead us to choose the new book for 2025 to study, *The Masters and the Path*, by Charles. W. Leadbeater.

Screen capture: the third affirmation, which is a prayer attributed to St. Francis. –From the book our Theosophy book club just finished, *Ancient Wisdom for a New Age*.

I’ll set a date to publish my 5th book, We Are All Connected, soon. I am looking at publishing it sometime next summer. I’m not going to push it, as I am still gathering new information and gleaning new wisdom. This is why I prefer blogging other books. I love ‘living’ documents. Even while studying with the Theosophy book club, I picked up new insights and believe the authors were writing from a more limited perspective when Ancient Wisdom for a New Age was written.

Many times, knowing what you don’t want or like, leads one to what you do want and like–and even who you really are!

Everything happens for a reason and myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,

December 8th – Cash me in

It’s December 8th, 2024; We’ve got another traditional original country song for those who love Johnny Cash. Cash me in brings Paul Pace back into the studio to sing this tribute to Johnny Cash. Paul just simply has the voice for this marvelous song.

This is the three-hundred-fortieth new music post for 2024! This radio-ready tribute to Johnny was recorded at the exceptional Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This original song sticks in my mind. So, would it be wrong for me to say it’s ‘sticky’? Ha! I love this song sooo much!

It’s time to consider new things

I did a separate post for the invite to the Theosophy book club I’m a part of, which begins again in January 2025. Here’s the link to the invitation: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/08/integrating-the-spirals-book-club-invitation/

I’ve been moving stuff around in my spa room upstairs and stopped to take a couple of photos, but will offer more tomorrow. This just came to me, the blending of the old (the ‘cell’ of Tweety, I bought at a high-seas art auction after Richard and I were married), and the new lava lamp I bought to enhance my sauna experience. As well, here lies the kaleidoscope I use in the Integrating the Spirals sessions I offer on Zoom. The picture on the chair rail is one Richard and I picked out at an art festival in Florida (I’ve always loved palm trees, so I still have some connections to Florida around this New Hampshire 100+ year old apartment). The sessions I teach integrate us to the old with honor and respect, but also encourage us to slowly incorporate new things into our daily routines, self-organize (projects and such), and acquire and practice sacred wisdom practices.

Here’s one of the cube storage units behind me, along with the Palo Santo and sage I use, several books and card decks, and the lovely Rose of Jericho (Resurrection plant), I received from soulie sister, Debra, of Jaguar Spirit. I’ve yet to water this plant and resurrect it because I am painting a special plate to set it in (after watching several YouTube videos on how to care for it). Oh, and I have my new tooth now also (so I smile more now)! –Sheila Murrey

We got more snow last night

Photo: Sledding in the driveway and making snow angels in the backyard. I stood in the doorway and out on the enclosed porch to take the pictures. I don’t have boots yet or snow clothes to be able to go out in it, nor do I think I will. –Sheila Murrey

This is where we are now as a country

This is the reason I believe Abraham-Hicks has said for years they are not a fan of quantum leaps. Even if this is the right thing to allow children to do, America is not there yet. The results from a Vern Buchanan poll I received in my email and took part in:

Vern Buchanan poll results on gender-transition procedures for minors (children).

I don’t have a dog in this fight, since I only have granddaughters and I don’t see any of them wanting to be a boy. But one never knows! I would always encourage children to wait until they’ve completed the puberty process though, and even matured through their twenties before making physical bodily changes. But let me know what you think! I am curious as a minister, how I might offer solace and hope to anyone who has a child who wants to make such a bodily change.

Everything happens for a reason and myriad sides to every story

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

December 7th – Merle & me

It’s December 7th, 2024; We’ve got a traditional original country song for those who love Merle Haggard. Merle & me finds Paul Pace singing the rich and smooth vocals. Sooo beautiful. We love this song!

This is the three-hundred-thirty-ninth new music post for 2024! This radio-ready tribute to Merle was recorded at the wonderful Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

What do you really own?

I finished one of the books I’d been reading yesterday, Ancient Wisdom for a New Age: A Practical Guide for Spiritual Growth, and it was the last day of the Theosophy Book Club (check my previous post: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/09/07/september-7th-didnt-i-tell-you/), for studying this book too.

The Theosophy Book Club I meet with on Zoom had been meeting every other week to study this book since Nov. 2023! Wow! Over a year to get through it. And one of the statements in the book was, “You own nothing–not your house, your car, or even your body or the talents you have. Everything you have, even if you have “earned” it, is simply part of your fiduciary responsibility. An instrument of the universe, much more is required of you than of others.” I pondered this sentence last night and believe it’s true.

Meme: “The most valuable asset you own isn’t money. It’s your ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you. Mental clarity is wealth.” –Unknown

Invitation to our Book Club

If you would like to join the Theosophy Book Club I meet with (we meet every other Friday at 2:00 pm eastern time zone), on Zoom, let me know in the comments or email me: sheila.murrey(at)gmail(dot)com. Serious students only! Our next book is, The Masters and the Path by Charles W. Leadbeater, and we’re going to start on Jan. 17, 2025.

Gift of fire!

Yesterday, my daughter finished assembling an electric fireplace and shelving unit for our small living room/bedroom. Woo-hoo! We’re so happy with it too! I’m still trying to decide what to put on the bottom shelves. Follow all the steps next:

The white ‘cubes’ storage bookcases that I’d put together in Florida (and said I’d never assemble anything else like these again). My daughter had to move these from the living room to my upstairs spa room BEFORE she could even begin putting the fireplace together. Note: the small bookcase in the corner is now the plant stand in front of the window. –Sheila Murrey

Photo: My daughter on the first assembly day. It took her about 4 hours to put this together over the course of three days, but she did it all on her own! Woo-hoo!. –Sheila Murrey

Photo: End of the first day of assembly. The middle/center portion without backing. –Sheila Murrey

Photo: End of day 2 of assembly. The side bookshelves sections are on and they have lights! An app came with this for my phone that will work the lights (different colors) and even flow with the music that’s on my phone! –Sheila Murrey

Photo: Day 3 assembly. Marie is putting on the backing and adding the fireplace. –Sheila Murrey

Photo: The fireplace is complete and works great! –Sheila Murrey

Photo: I’m continuing to decorate and decide what will go on the bottom shelves of the unit. We may set the DVD player on the top. –Sheila Murrey

Tomorrow, I’ll show you pictures of how the spa room turned out. I moved the cube storage units myself and had to take everything out of my small bookcase so I could use it for a plant stand. The room got a pretty big makeover! Ha! But now, I am sooo happy with it.
