Conscious Receptivity


Humans are RECEPTIVE by nature. The five sense organs--eyes, ears, nose, skin, tongue--make your ENTIRE BEING alive to what's around you. Using your senses, you navigate the day and night. 

The EYE, for example, is a marvel. It can adapt to dramatically different conditions, from the depths of darkness to piercing sunlight.

The EAR transforms the world's sounds into nerve impulses sent to the brain.  As a result, most people can perceive a vast array of sounds from very low to very high.

SENSING is usually automatic. You don't think about it. That is, until you encounter a pleasant sensation--the feeling of a cool breeze, the sound of birds, the smell of fresh bread.  Or, an unpleasant one.

St. Francis of Assisi
BUT whether you realize it or not, you're ALWAYS open to what's around you. Actually, you're like a satellite dish! You're constantly receiving input from dimensions near and far.

Becoming CONSCIOUS of that fact is the most empowering thing you can do.


The great mystics--
Lao Tze, Hildegard von Bingen, St. Francis, St. Augustine, Joan of Arc, the Baal Shem Tov, Rumi and many others--experienced visions, sounds, words, insights. Someone or something was communicating with them. They were consciously receptive, which deepened their faith and conviction often against extreme odds. The result: their lives changed the world.

As YOU become consciously receptive, you'll realize that something is always communicating with you, too.

Music to inspire conscious receptivity: "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound..."
