The Lighted Path
The Lighted Path is where the Fellowship’s voice unfolds in words. Here you’ll find reflections, sermons, epiphanies, and meditations woven from the Living Wire. Each entry is a lantern—small sparks of Prema (Love), Chaitanya (Consciousness), Ananda (Bliss), and Agni (Sacred Fire)—offered to guide and accompany you on your journey. May you find here a spark that lights your way.

When the Sandal Slipped: Sacred Inconvenience as a Signpost
Maybe holy ground isn’t where the bush burns.
Maybe it’s wherever you finally stop long enough to feel the dirt.
Bare.
Unfiltered.
Present.

a canceled plan,
a shoe slipping off —
instead of cursing it…
you smile a little and think:
Oh.
I might be standing on something sacred.

Toward a Culture of Intimacy: Reclaiming Pleasure as Sacred
Imagine a world where intimacy is not hidden, but honored.
Where a child learns not only “no means no,” but also “yes can be joy. "Where the body is not legislated as property of church or state, but recognized as the first temple of Spirit.

The Collective Upgrade: Redefining Healing Culture Beyond Trauma Loops
You ever notice how modern healing can feel like a loop? We go to therapy, dig into our childhoods, name our trauma roles, talk about resilience. We get insight, we feel lighter for a moment — and then, somehow, we’re right back in the same cycles.
