“People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind.”

"The Divine Spark of Wisdom is alive and well in all of us, just waiting for the gift of our own attention to help it burst into flame.

It turns out we don't need to know what to do -- we only need to know where to look."

BIO

IMG_0183.jpg
I am a traveling companion on the spiritual journey.  Simply called to be with others as they find their way back to their own Innate Wisdom.                                                   ~Ricky

Ricky Gregerson, as a graduate of the Franciscan Spiritual Center in Milwaukie, OR., received her training and certification as a Spiritual Director/Companion.  She is also a commissioned, Centering Prayer Presenter for Contemplative Outreach, LTD, a Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator and is currently an apprentice practitioner of the 3P's Global Community, (a.k.a. The Inside Out Understanding).  But do you know what Ricky claims as her highest level of credibility?  Her EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION.  She has lived a life full filled with challenges and ease; self-doubt and confidence; worry and peace, victim and thriver.  She spent years believing she was not enough, believing she needed to DO more.  But in the end, beneath it all Ricky learned she was never all the labels she put on herself.  She was always enough.  Now instead of claiming she is this or that, she is most comfortable with simply being...."I am."  Her passion is to help others find their True Selves and learn that Innate Well-being lies within all of us.  So what does her life look like now?

 

Ricky loves nature!  She feels like she's the luckiest girl in the world to be surrounded by beauty of the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Larry and Fynlee, her Golden Retriever.  She has a son and daughter in-law who live in Central Oregon and a daughter and son-in-law who live 6 hours away in Washington.  Her family and friends bring joy beyond measure. 

 

As for her spiritual journey she has evolved from evangelical Christianity to the Wisdom tradition of Christianity and now beyond any religion to being at home in Universal Love. She is inclusive, non-dualistic, and honors, learns and shares from other faith traditions beyond her own.  She knows without a doubt, that we are all just trying to find our way back, "Home". 

The Butterfly....

It is no mistake that my home page has a brilliantly colored butterfly.  The butterfly is symbolic of the spiritual journey. As a part of the metamorphosis process the caterpillar leaves everything it has ever known and experiences darkness and pain as it feels like it’s facing death in the cocoon.  Unbeknownst to the caterpillar, this place of desolation is where the Creator brings forth the transformation.   Yet, the process cannot be rushed.  The caterpillar must be held, nurtured, and allow growth to take place.  Then, one day, it happens!  With new possibilities and a whole new way of living, the magnificent butterfly takes flight…..able to soar above the twig it once inhabited, over the seas, and to the ends of the earth, going beyond what it believed possible to make the impossible a reality.*

Following anyone is giving up our own wisdom.  Following the TEACHINGS of mystics, sages, and spiritual leaders, however, can help point us to the Divine Intelligence that resides in each one of us.

I sometimes forget that

I was created for joy

My mind is too busy

My heart is too heavy

Heavy for me to remember

that I have been

called to dance

the sacred dance for life

I was created to smile

to love

to be lifted up

and lift others up

O sacred one

Untangle my feet

from all that ensnares

Free my soul

That we might

Dance

and that our dancing

might be contagious.

My Roots...

I believe all of us act out whatever is inside of us.  Whatever we think, whatever we hear…that’s the behavior we’ll display.  I became involved in Christianity in my late 30's.  The path took many twists and turns from evangelical Christianity, necessary at that time in my life, to now landing on a contemplative, inclusive, path which surpasses all RELIGION and feels like coming home.  Belief systems are the history of mankind and unfortunately have created tragic disharmony on this earth.  But what does all this mean?  It means I agree with the teachings of Jesus.  "God" (the name I give to this the Universal Energy) is Love and God’s love is toward EVERYONE, it is inclusive. I've learned that this Divine Intelligence is not some punitive god that is disappointed in me or wants me to earn love! The God I know, lives within my very being and I am an extension of this Love Force.  God is not separate from me and I don't have to earn my way to "heaven" and neither does anyone else.  I continue to learn from different faith traditions and find that at the higher level of consciousness we have more in common than what separates us.  And oh, by the way, I will always honor your journey without an agenda of my own.  For in the end...we are all just walking each other home.
