  • Chakra Crystals; Imagery of absorbing and processing energy

    I have been working on balancing my heart chakra. With the techniques I’ve been using to try to get out of this flare up, they say to pay attention to the words and phrases you use associated with your symptoms. There can be messages or clues in them. I’ve written about how I’m having trouble…

  • Imagery of a Triple Fountain and a Rainbow from MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1

    There is some imagery from MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1 that I meant to include in yesterday’s post. In his 2nd point when he is explaining what the offer consists of, he uses the imagery of a triple fountain. In Isaiah 55:1 God says, “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and…
