Stone Soup Spirituality

     It used to be a problem. I would find the teacher I was seeking. They'd have their nugget of truth. I'd expand upon it. They'd feel threatened and attempt to diminish me. "Oh, that wasn't my teacher, I was wrong"; I would think. Then I realized what I was doing and that there was no teacher out there for me. I was my teacher. I was good at it. I was good at sharing it. The teachings, the truths, I found among others were my triggers, my catalysts into my own expanded perspective. Then I realized the delight in adding their perspectives to mine. I always love to give credit; to express the delight I felt in witnessing them, in discovering them and in doing so, the discovery of more of me they initiated. I would share it with others who saw it's value and could add their experience based perspectives, further expanding it and adding it to everything. It expanded our entire shared reality. The momentum increased. It can keep increasing. I don't expect criticism, I expect expansion. In doing so I remain open while still well grounded in the knowing of my own value. Even the ominous approach; "Now, don't get mad at me" doesn't put me on edge, get me ready to object. I simply smile to myself; "You don't yet know me".
   I've been inspired to consider creating a circle of spiritual elite who are not elitist. They're just beyond King and Queen, Crone and Sage; they're ancients. They're the Stone Soup Sensitives. Our Stone Soup is perfectly created to feed nations. One aspect, one ingredient, is going to serve somebody, it's going to snag them and trigger their own ingredient addition. Feels fabulous to me!
