An International Journal Writing Across Spiritual Traditions

In a world so divided by vested interests of power and control, ideologies, “isms” of every kind, projections on the other, Manifestations seeks, beneath the apparent divisons, the unifying voice that hums in the timbre of the great cross-cultural wisdom traditions. We encourage authentic voices that inspire, enthrall and confront. To chant is to evoke Spirit, to call forth awe, wonder and praise. It is the sacred work when the word summons the unity and compassion at the core of relationship. In a diversity of voices, in the call and response of separation and unity, may we find we are one.

Community

Manifestations Journal seeks to develop a multifaith global community of artists.  It’s a wild world we live in now and it demands a wildness of Spirit that the great traditions have always called us to. By creating together and supporting one another may we mirror the Unity that sustains and pervades existence.

Great Silence

Great silence, may we hear you this day.
Great humming sound, may we feel you this day.
Great seed and hidden source, illuminate our hearts and way today.
May we honor ourselves and each other, as children of the unseen source.
May we walk in deep peace and know all creation, as our deepest relations.
May we honor all creation, as the manifestation of the unseen source.
May we live in loving kindness and simplicity.
May we live in holy freedom, responsibility and obedience to that seed and hidden source.
Great silence, may we hear you this day.
Great humming sound, may we feel you this day.
Great seed and hidden source, illuminate our hearts and way today.
