Reality and Actuality
By William Bezanson
Everything that is real is not necessarily actual.
What is real to me may not be real to you. And what is actual may be different still.
Reality is what we perceive. Actuality is what truly is. I learned this distinction years ago in my Rosicrucian study, and the lesson has reinforced itself many times while looking around and observing the world. The phenomena that…

Spiritual Responsibility
by William Bezanson
Our biggest responsibility of all is a spiritual one. We have many responsibilities: personal, family, civic, social, employment, spiritual, and others. The most important one is spiritual.
We are not physical bodies with souls dwelling in them. We are soul beings dwelling temporarily with physical…

Find Each Campsite Dirtier Than You Will Leave It
By William Bezanson
This is a lesson that was taught to me when I was in Cubs and Scouts. I have also tried to teach it to my own cubs when I was a Cub and Scout leader, and to my own children.
Of course, this maxim is usually stated in a more positive sense, as in “Leave each campsite cleaner than you found it.” But I like the reverse statement, as in the…

Spirit, Son, and Father: Raising our Consciousness
By William Bezanson
Some years ago I heard a sermon in church by a visiting theology student in which he prefaced his talk with the words, “I preach to you today in the name of God...” (Ah! The comforting words of a standard sermon preface!) “... Spirit, Son, and Father.” (Wow! Backwards! Amazing!)
What a profound impact that reversal made on me! Of course, the traditional, expected way of naming the (Christian)…

Intuition: Your Most Reliable Guide
By William Bezanson
How do you make decisions? What guidance do you seek? What tools do you use?
When you work on making a decision, you are actually looking into the future. You are typically trying to determine what the future will hold with respect to some parameters, and…

Don’t Read This!
By William Bezanson
What? Are you still reading this? What did the title say?
Ah! I can guess that you are a rebel. You’re probably a wet paint toucher, too. If a sign says “Wet Paint”, you likely touch the painted object to check if the sign is correct.
I’m that way also. I’m a literalist. I saw a sign on a bridge once, stating “Do Not Pass”! So I stopped driving. I obeyed the sign. (It…

Yes, you did ask to be born!
By William Bezanson
Many parents have to face the profound exclamation from a frantic four-year old, along the lines of “I didn’t ask to be born! Why was I born, anyway?”
Well, little Johnny or Susie, you did ask to be born. You may not remember it, but you really did choose to born here, with me as your mother, and at that time, about four years…

The Elevator Door Button
By William Bezanson
Don’t you just hate those two buttons on an elevator control panel, for opening and closing the door? They are typically marked with some obscure graphical symbols somehow suggesting an opening door and a closing door. You have to think for a moment to determine which means Open and which means Close. And they are typically down at about knee-level, so…

Why Save The World? Because You’ll Be Back!
By William Bezanson
Is the world really going down the tubes? To my mind, and, I hope, to the minds of virtually all thinking persons, yes, the world is indeed deteriorating, collapsing, and self-destructing. Read any newspaper, watch any newscast, observe any weather pattern, and you will very likely detect numerous items of data…

A New Prayer Model
By William Bezanson
To my mind, prayer is done wrongly by the vast majority of people. Prayer is a mystical process, not an intellectual one. My prayer model, evolved from the Rosicrucian teachings, is one in which I visualize what I want (for example, to have a sick person healed) and then to release that image to God, with total confidence that healing has already happened. Then, I try to listen for any…

Why Twelve?
By William Bezanson
Have you ever noticed how dominant the number 12 is? There are 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 inches per foot, 12 people on a jury, 12 grades in most school systems, 12 items in a dozen, and so on.
And there are many other instances of the number 12 that are common in western civilization. Further, there are many remarkable…

What is your longest relationship?
By William Bezanson
This question was asked in a group that I belonged to some years ago, “What is the longest relationship that you have been in?” I gave a brief answer then, and this article elaborates on that answer and tries to generalize it.
The longest relationship that I've been in is the one right now, in which I'm related to this physical body. I've…

What Colour is Grass?
By William Bezanson
What colour is grass?
Most people would say, “Green, of course!” And they would be right, of course. … Or maybe wrong.
Are they really right? As with most things there are different points of view, providing different meanings and interpretations. Let us examine another point of view for the colour green, for…

I Work for God ... Then my Employer
By William Bezanson
“Who do you work for?” is a common question that one receives on first meeting someone new.
Nearly everyone will reply by naming some company, or agency, or organization which employs them. That is the expected response.
But years ago, at one of my early jobs, a fellow…

The Church Should Make Itself Redundant
