ConnectionsAustralia –An Adventure in Listening

To know me is to breathe with meTo breathe with me is to listen deeplyTo listen deeply is to connectIt’s the soundThe sound of deep calling to deepDadirri, the deep inner spring inside usWe call on it and it calls on us.

—Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr, Aboriginal elder from Nauiyu (Daly River)

There are more than 300 SDI Members in Australia. In October, I met dozens of them as I spent 11 days crossing this massive nation from the shining city of Perth perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean, to cosmopolitan Melbourne, to Cairns and its nearby rainforests, as well as Northern Queensland. My first goal was to connect with the Australian spiritual director community. So this was a listening tour above all.

In the small space I have here, I cannot capture all my impressions of a diverse land and a vibrant set of people, but I do want to make note of some key facts, issues and opportunities.

• Australia’s spiritual directors are a mature, resilient, and self-reliant bunch. They cover lots of different bases and varied approaches; they are inclusive, outward looking, curious and wise. I was honoured to be invited in their midst and humbled by their insights. The rest of the SDI network will profit greatly from a deeper connection with them.

• Throughout my trip, several key issues kept surfacing. Among them:

• A lack of adequately trained spiritual direction supervisors – Formation program supervisors and leaders, and new graduates bemoaned the dearth of supervisors, and identified this as a key area for growth, and one where SDI could be of assistance.

• SDI can help – As I spoke with Australian spiritual directors at meeting after meeting, I also heard that they would be open to SDI bringing more speakers to the country, creating distance-based spiritual direction platforms, and acting as a digital community umbrella that might join together people across the vast country.

• Raising the visibility of spiritual direction worldwide and making it a sustainable ministry – Many people do not know what spiritual direction is. SDI is seen as a way to spread

the word to seekers, but also to help directors find a way to professionalize their practice and business skills so they can carry out their calling full-time.

• SDI needs to increase its international focus - A common theme

was that SDI could do more to reflect its global character.

Clearly, there’s much to do. Here are ideas SDI is already working on:

• Greater SDI support and coordination for Australia – We are actively looking to develop new resources to support spiritual direction in Australia, as soon as the new year.

• A web presence dedicated to SDI Australia and all our members there - Watch for this in 2018.

Where Spiritual Directors Speak Their Peace

November 2017 Ω Vol. 26.3 Spiritual Directors International www.sdiworld.org 01-425-455-1565 Page 2

• SDI Ambassador visit – We would like to plan a speaking tour of a number of cities in Australia by one of our Ambassadors for 2018, to be named in the coming months. Please read about 2017 ambassador, The Reverend María R. Barrera here: http://www.sdiworld.org/about-us/sdi-ambassador-program

• Improve on-line opportunities to train and practice – SDI has a special role to play in harnessing high-tech to serve the needs of spiritual directors and seekers.

• Two spiritual journeys in the Land of Oz

✦ In 2019, we plan a retreat to the edge of the rainforest near Cairns. This will look at nature and our connection to it from a variety of local indigenous perspectives. As with all our events, people from all spiritual inclinations will be welcome.

✦ In 2018, we will “go bush,” creating an eco-spiritual journey into North Queensland, led by a soon to be announced remarkable Aboriginal elder. The journey will focus on the indigenous concept of “Dadirri” – the deep spring of Spirit within us. Watch this introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkY1dGk-LyE

“The sound of deep calling deep … We call to it and it calls to us.” Is this not the very heart of spiritual direction? Stillness and listening leading us inward and onward towards discovery and new connection. Sounds promising, doesn’t it? ❉

Spiritual ActivismRev. angel Kyodo williams Sensei

In social justice work the only option is loving everyone. Otherwise, there is no path to real change. Whether we’re leaning toward the spiritual community or the activist community, what we need is the combination of a mind that wants to change the world and a mind that is steady, clear–seeing, and seeks change from a place of love, rather than from a place of anger.

“It’s important not to get stuck in your own views. Even if you think yours is the right way, there’s always someone else who has another way. Then you’re in an irreconcilable conflict that doesn’t get resolved except, I think, through love.

“[Martin Luther] King and Gandhi understood that everyone holds some aspect of the truth. So when you’re in the pursuit of social justice, it becomes very difficult to hold onto your own idea of the truth. You’d think that the more you’re in pursuit of justice, the more you know what’s right. But it’s actually the opposite.

Happiness and suffering, right and wrong, like and dislike—these are the paradoxes that exist for all of us balancing the inner life and outer life. We think it’s one or the other: either we like and agree with people, or we’re against them and we have to hate them. The question is, how do we exist in the space that holds both of these dualities at once?

Rev. angel Kyodo williams Sensei  will be one of the keynote speakers at next April’s SDI conference “Seeking Connection 2018.” She has been called “the most intriguing African-American Buddhist” by Library Journal. A Zen priest, maverick spiritual teacher

and social activist, she is the founder of Center for Transformative Change. Rev. angel has been bridging the worlds of personal transformation and justice since the publication of her critically-acclaimed book, Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living with Fearlessness and Grace.

What do you hold dear?Janice L. Lundy, DMin

This question could serve as a fine conversation starter for a spiritual direction session. As a mentor for spiritual directors in training, I find that associate spiritual directors often struggle with the issue of what questions to ask as they begin formal spiritual companionship with others.

I believe it’s a question of reverence. When we are aware of what we revere, what or whom we are in awe of, what we respect enough to bow down to, then we step into the arena of the Holy. When we know what another person holds dear, we can be present with them in a wholehearted way.

As a spiritual companion, I believe it’s my sacred call to keep pointing myself and others toward what we revere. I love asking reverence questions, which can take many shapes and forms.

What do you love?What touches your heart?What brings you joy and delight?What plugs you into the Sacred?

Reverence questions like these enable us to get to the heart of the matter rather quickly. They cut through the quagmire, the confusion, created by ego; the distracting babble of the false self.

When we spend even just a few moments thinking about what we adore and hold in highest esteem, the mood of our internal landscape can shift from sinking to serene, from troubled to tranquil. In other words, Spirit cuts through the chaos and we become aware, once again, that we are blessed beings. When we ask reverence questions, we are literally reorienting ourselves back toward the Divine. Turning from what’s false to true. From what’s illusory to what’s eternal.

It’s a beautiful spiritual practice to invite others to, as well. I recall a story that my friend and mentor Sylvia Boorstein told about connecting with others on a deeper level, even strangers. She’d been noticing how trite it felt to ask of someone she just met, “What do you do?”

How much more interesting (and authentic) the conversation could be if we asked instead, “What nourishes your spirit?” A question like that would cut through the chaff and get to the wheat, the heart of what matters most to this person. It is a reverence question. Consider the delightful conversation that might come from asking this kind of open-ended question.

Imagine the answers.

“Well, today I took canned goods to the local food bank.”

“This morning I witnessed the most

November 2017 Ω Vol. 26.3 Spiritual Directors International www.sdiworld.org 01-425-455-1565 Page 6

beautiful sunrise.”

“I sat on a bench in the park and watched the children play.”

“What do you hold dear?” With one simple question we can re-orient ourselves to what matters most ... step onto holy ground just as we are, revering life as it is.

Contemplative Photography – The Spiritual Practice of Making ImagesTeresa Pietsch

“Pay attention.Be astonished.Tell about it.”

Mary Oliver

As a person who experiences life visually, I have long struggled to understand my non-verbal connection to the Divine. Words had so very little to do with it; it was all image.

Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians, 1:18. “I pray that

the eyes of your heart may be enlightened...”

What if I could see with my heart? Did I need to give voice to it?

Christine Vaulters Paintner wrote the book Eyes of the Heart, Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice. Understanding the material through her suggested practice and integration helped me (and later a small group) to connect what I was seeing with an experience of the holy. Paintner explains that photographic images are not taken, but received. Paying attention is the first step.

When I began to practice this holy attentiveness, Oh my! The images that appeared: ominous fog,

dancing flowers, close up nature at work, roads not taken, water fowl that allowed me to approach. Great beauty presented itself. Regularly. It was astonishing.

My iPhone became my camera of choice, and Instagram became my method of communication. On Instagram, most images are accompanied by some sort of description. My early captions such as “on my walk” or “today’s view” were truly unenlightening. What were these images saying? What was I meant to communicate after seeing these things?

I don’t have the words to tell about it, but great writers can capture wisdom in small spaces. If I could connect the essence of an image with wise words from spiritual writers, then maybe these images could reach out to others and speak to something larger. Some essential truths began to emerge as a sort of storytelling for the images. Telling about it using the words of others became the last part of my practice.

People experience the Divine in many ways. For me it’s visual. Through spiritual direction, wise soul friends, and books such as Who We Are is How We Pray by Charles Keating, and Soultypes by Sandra Krebs Hirsh and Jane A.G. Kise, I came to understand that my image making is my way of connecting to the Divine and that there is value in sharing this way of seeing with others.

If you, too, connect with the divine through images, why not try to see with your heart and receive with your camera. Your photos may forge connections to wonder that are both spontaneous and lasting.

Islamic Spiritual Direction – One ViewImam Jamal Rahman

Islam means to surrender to God in peace. The journey of surrender is  the lifelong work of transforming the ego, opening the heart and becoming conscious of God. We need to bring Divinity into the center of our lives. The guidance, inspiration, and support of a spiritual director, spiritual teacher, or spiritual friend is crucial to this process. The thirteenth-century sage Rumi says that whoever travels without a guide needs two hundred years for a two-day journey.

A Muslim spiritual director, teacher or friend has abiding faith in the spiritual guidance abounding in the Quran, insights of the Prophet Muhammad and teachings of Islamic sages. The Quran tells us that ‘God is closer to you than your jugular vein’ and ‘Everywhere you turn is the Face of Allah.’

To remove the veils between us and our Creator, the Prophet Muhammad says, ‘Know thyself and you will know thy Lord,’ and, ‘Die before you die.’ He also explains the role of a spiritual teacher and companion: ‘The teacher kindles the light; the oil is already in the lamp.’ Mystics advise seekers to exercise discernment in their choice of a spiritual guide.

Choose someone who reminds you of God, one who counsels you not with the tongue of words but with the tongue of deeds. Rumi’s prayer for us is that over a lifetime we connect with several spiritual teachers, guides, and friends so that we can “come out of  the Circle of Time and enter the Circle of Love.

Imam Jamal Rahman is co-founder and Muslim Sufi Minister at Interfaith Community Sanctuary and adjunct faculty at Seattle University. Originally from Bangladesh, he is a graduate of the University of Oregon and theUniversity of California, Berkeley.

His books include Sacred Laughter of the Sufis: Awakening the Soul with the Mulla’s Comic Teaching Stories & other Islamic Wisdom and Spiritual Gems of Islam: Insights & Practices from the Qur’an. He is also a member of the Interfaith Amigos, who were keynote speakers at the SDI Conference 2017. http://www.jamalrahman.com/

When we feel bad about the way we live, we are out integrity. Integrity is living

in a way your heart is happy with, and not ashamed of.

be rigid. Many people think integrity means always sticking by pride and principles. But in maintaining a rigid position, you’re ignoring your heart’s present responses to life and people. You’re fighting against your heart. That’s not integrity.

withhold your heart. When you hold back your love, your feelings, your tears, or in any way suppress your heart, you are not being true to yourself. And you’re denying your loved ones the glorious heart and soul gifts you have for them.

abandon what you know is right because of preference or convenience. That makes us ashamed. We’re happy and confident when we live in a way our hearts approve of.

indulge in thoughts or beliefs we know are false. We often reactively think things we know aren’t true. A child’s mother says, “You shouldn’t be mean to Granny.” He thinks, “Mom hates me!” even though he knows she doesn’t — and she’s right.

live as someone other than who we are, ignoring what we know and feel — perhaps to play it safe; to fit in; because we’ve judged our true nature afoul; or because we’re not willing to live up to our own standards. “To thine own self be true.”

Integrity is following your heart, asa way of living. Your heart has a lot to say about how you live, how you

relate to people, the choices you make.

is flexible. Everyone has the intelligence and sensitivity to feel what’s right and needed in the moment. A person of integrity will change their mind or their plan when they realize they were wrong, or another idea/plan is better.

expresses the true and loving impulses of their heart, instead of suppressing them out of pride or fear. If they love someone, they give their love to that person. If they appreciate someone, they say so. Anything less is untrue.

does what they know is right even if they don’t feel like it. Sometimes it’s hard to do what’s right, other times it’s easy. Integrity means doing right anyway.

is responsible for their thinking. They will not indulge in thoughts that grate against their heart. They direct their mind to be honest and constructive, rejecting thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes they are not proud of.

is true to themselves. Integrity is living in alignment with your heart. Your heart wants to dance with life — sensitively, beautifully. It loves rightness, and cries out against wrong. If we all lived by heart, the world would be much better.

HIGH INTEGRITY

LIVING

A person of integrity . . . It’s an integrity break to . . .

ENCASED –

Is This What Ego Does To Spirit?Dan Hoffman

In 1970, German artist Kurt Vostell created “Concrete Traffic,” a Cadillac almost totally encased in a shell of concrete. There is a sister to this piece in Berlin. This mummified car, a symbol of privilege and status in its day, is one of the most famous relics of the short-lived Fluxus art movement. You can see this conserved artifact now at a garage of the University of Chicago.

In June of 2017 I viewed this piece in person.  Honestly, even though I appreciate emerging art generally, I had to ask the question:   Is this piece really art?   In what sense?   The piece is, in all its bulk and heaviness, troubling. Maybe I just yearned for something, well, prettier.

But as I looked carefully, I began to see Vostell’s work as a metaphor of how we become encased in our egos, our carefully protected and conserved selves.   Truth be told, I spend a lot of time re-running my own image and narrative of myself.  One Buddhist author, Kathleen Dowling Singh, even uses the verb “to self” as a description of the constant self-referential buzz that goes on in our heads.   Yes, I am most often encased in selfing.

In spiritual direction, a challenge to both the seeker and the spiritual director is to gently and compassionately

break through the encasement and mummification that our souls, our spirits seem to prefer. There is nothing really porous about the mummified Cadillac that Vostell created. Yet, in spiritual direction we are looking for porousness, the ability to expand and to breath.  Spirit and breathe become almost synonymous.

When someone tells me that “God will never forgive me” that is a Concrete Traffic moment.  Or, when another person retires but continues to try to live the busy life of whatever she or he did in the work place, that is also a Concrete Traffic moment.  Or, when my beliefs, whatever they are, seem adequate, needing no amendment. Encased.  Mummified.  Unchanging.  How can I get out of my encasement, whatever holds me from exhaling and inhaling, whatever keeps me from spiritually expanding?

I wonder:   What does this metaphor of a concrete-encased Cadillac from the seventies say to you?
