Chattering Mind

by Dr. Susan CorsoFor almost 20 years, I have manifested Type II Diabetes. The medical pundits say that, these days, it’s become a veritable epidemic, especially in our young people. What’s going on? Oh yeah, I know. Computers, less-than-healthy eating habits, lack of exercise. Those are the physical reasons for diabetes. What I’m asking instead…

by Dr. Susan CorsoCosmic Bridge People are born to build a bridge from an old consciousness to a new one. Bridge People come in all sizes, shapes, formats, genders, and ages. The insightful and talented Anna Quindlen wrote about a Bridge Person in Newsweek’s “The Last Word” column this week. Her column is entitled “The…

by Dr. Susan Corso I can’t wait till I reach 150. It won’t be long. I’m already up to 148. Someone just has to write them. I’m talking about books about Mary Magdalene. Some of us have been onto her for decades. We call her Mary Mags at home. Foolish consistency being the hobgoblin of…

by Dr. Susan CorsoWhen I moved to Boston, a friend in California told me there was someone here I must meet. Let’s call her Ms. Boston. He gave me her numbers and every time I went to call her, I COULD NOT make myself do it. There was no explaining it. Finally, circumstances arranged themselves…

by Dr. Susan Corso I don’t really wish to go back to the days of writing “real” letters which arrive in the post box—I like the immediacy of email way too much—but I love reading old letters. They take me back to a slower, more elegant, less immediate, and more anticipatory time. In this new,…

by Dr. Susan Corso All right, I’ll admit it. I had a reputation in seminary. They called me The Promiscuous Pray-er, which meant… she’ll pray with anyone anywhere any time about anything. It was true then, and it’s true now. How I got this reputation is an interesting story. I had discovered the power of…

by Dr. Susan CorsoCould it be that he was a plantation owner and she an abused slave in the antebellum south? Or maybe she was a pasha and he a neglected harem dancer in long ago Arabia? Or perhaps they were a mis-married couple in Siberia in the early 18th century? Here’s what I really…

by Dr. Susan Corso He is known mostly by his first name alone—Neville. I only came upon his full name by chance, if you believe in that sort of thing: Neville Lancelot Goddard. (Isn’t that yummy?) He was a teacher of metaphysics beginning during the Great Depression and ending in the 1970s. His very first…

by Dr. Susan CorsoYears ago, I knew a woman who, whenever she was confronted with any distasteful aspect of the human condition, would say, “Doncha just hate that?” It always made us laugh at the time. It reminds me of something St. Paul writes in Romans 7: 15 in the Christian Scriptures. For that which…

by Dr. Susan Corso So many of us on the spiritual path are seekers, and seeking—especially if we have any intent toward finding—means… books. What I read these days is very different from what I read when I started out. Now, I read old books. Really old books. On the title page of Emma Curtis…
