Residential Intensives: Transformational, Process Oriented, Spiritually Based On A Course In Miracles
We have been playing with a new logo for our website or blog and have been exploring symbology. So, what’s in a name? We are actively engaged in iTransPlay. The little “i” stands for the constructed self or ego and its perception through the body’s eye. By process oriented transformation the Self is remembered and with it the vision of spirit, bringing forgiveness and the grace of innocence. On considering those with whom we have facilitated this transformation, we discovered that most came with a troubled mind and a broken heart, suffering from a lost relationship.
With light hearted play, music, and dance we all come to experience peace of mind and an open heart. Thus the appropriateness of foxglove, the source of digitalis, an herbal heart tonic.
The significance of the mobius strip winding around the words is its similarity to the infinity sign and its continuous unbounded surface with no inside or outside thus dissolving duality in eternal Oneness.
In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Jesus offered a remarkably Mobius-like observation about the Kingdom of Heaven: “When you make the male as the female, and the female as the male, and the up as the down and the inner as the outer, then shall you see the Kingdom of Heaven.”
TS Eliot in Little Gidding also speaks to this continuous journey.
”We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know it for the first time.”

Buny and Jane,
I love your blog! The first post, while being informative and explanatory, is also INSPIRING! Just the thing I needed to read at this moment of my life. I especially love the quote from the Gnostic Bible. I haven’t read the Gnostics even though I speak of them all the time…go figure. I will get to them soon…LOVE YOU BOTH!! Elijah

Thanks for coming by and reading our first blog, Elijah.
Jane did an amazing job of making a mobius strip, photographing it and then taking it into Photoshop to work on it – adding the gold line around it and adding the photo of the foxglove from our island and adding our photo
She did the writing on this one as well. We worked together on other parts of it. I think we definitely have a ways to go in setting up the blog but we are happy to get started.
We have lots of ideas and look forward to posting more.
Love and Blessings
Bunny (and Jane)
