The past few years, I've been working on a book on the Hebrew Prophets. I’ve called it "The Tears of Things.” Prophetic wisdom has valuable insights for us today as we journey through order, disorder, and reorder. Preorder your copy at the CAC bookstore.

I love James Finley's words! "The mystics are teachers, because they bear witness that it’s possible to be habitually established in that oneness, instead of merely experiencing a… momentary flash of it — God resting in us resting in God."

A mystic reveals that which is hidden to most of us, yet it is almost invariably what we also hope and imagine to be true. It seems reality, at its hidden and deepest levels, is always very good — better than most of us can imagine! #DailyMeditations

We don’t need to be afraid of the word “mystic.” It simply means one who has moved from mere belief systems about God to actual inner experience. All spiritual traditions at their mature levels agree that such a movement is possible. #DailyMeditations

We've reached the end of this week's #DailyMeditations, exploring the path of the prophet. Today, I invite you to explore the highlights from this past week's summary and read a poem entitled "A Lament for the Prophets We’ve Killed" by Drew Jackson.

The normal power systems of our world worship themselves and not God. For that reason, prophets almost never hold official positions, like that of king, priest, or elder. #DailyMeditations

"The prophet and the mystic occupy the same broken-open space. The nexus is grief" I love these tender and thoughtful words from @MirabaiStarr. Read more from her article "Inconsolable" which appeared in #ONEING "The Path of the Prophet" #DailyMeditations

Besides being truth tellers, the Hebrew prophets were radical change agents, messengers of divine revelation and deconstructors of every prevailing order. Through this week's #DailyMeditations, I invite you to follow the path of the prophet.

The journey of truth leads the prophets to an immense sadness, shared with God, about the human situation. Unless we allow Scripture to reveal this developmental understanding, we can’t get there. #DailyMeditations
