As she travelled through Oregon, Marci Anderson took some time to talk with me for the next episode of Bridges to the Divine.  Marci is a student of Sri Kaleshwar swami, a young miracle worker from India, who has an ashram and runs “Soul University” in Penukonda.

Marci has spent numerous years in India, studying, learning and now sharing the amazing healing powers of the great gurus and lineages of yogis.  She talks about her personal journey to seek out and learn more about God, the soul and the higher self.  She experienced miracles by Sri Kaleshwar first hand and wears a ring comprised of jewels he manifested from thin air.

Marci talks about envisioning Shirdi Baba, Kaleshwar’s guru, before embarking on any spiritual journey and how she felt led by his power and the love of his students to seek out Kaleshwar.  She discusses the bigger picture for the soul and how submission to the divine helps the soul advance.  She opens her talk with beautiful chanting.

Bridges to the Divine with Marci Anderson

Christopher Rauschenberg, a lovely man who shows his amazing photos at the Elizabeth Leach gallery this month, visited recently.  He and his sweet wife, Janet, agreed to help us place a piece he donated to the PNCA auction last month.  The piece is untitled and was created by his father, Robert Rauschenberg.

Christopher and his camera are pretty much inseparable, so he took several pictures at the house.  His favorite venue is a child’s bedroom, because they have such interesting stuff and non sequitors for arrangements.  He took some sweet shots in their rooms as well as two amazing photos at sunset where the trees were turned orange by the light.  I have never been able to capture that light, so was really impressed!  Christopher is allowing me to publish these photos.

This week, I visited with Bridget Pilloud, @petsaretalking on Twitter. Bridget talks to the animals, and they talk back!  She is an animal communicator and intuitive, and her spiritual life and career are expanding to help animals and even people resolve psychical and spiritual issues in their lives.  She has begun to teach her skill, which she believes everyone has — intuition is a natural thing that we just need to acknowledge to develop.

Bridget shared her history and how she came to change her life and career by listening to animals.  She likes to read Eckhardt Tolle, David Cooper, Temple Grandin, and Isaac Luria, among others. Bridget’s focus on reading has not so much to do with intuitive texts, because she is trying to source a deeper, more ancient mystical tradition that we all are able to connect with.

Here’s our talk:
