This Week’s Quotation:
“The Bible is a history, however accurate we might think it is. It is also a spiritual teaching and a teaching of emotional intelligence. It is an owner’s manual for how the heart is meant to function correctly.”
—”The Emotional Intelligence of the Bible,” David Karchere, July 22, 2026
Spiritual Teachings of the Heart
We are participating in a grand cosmic outworking on our planet, walking a destiny path with the divine. The fulfillment of our divine destiny calls on true qualities of spiritual character born of a higher love, to be known and expressed into the world.
I am not a religious person as such, but I have been richly blessed by amazing stories and examples of great spiritual men and women and their teachings contained in the good book! Abraham’s generosity to Ismail, Joseph’s love extended to his brothers, the leadership and teachings of Moses, the fearless nobility of young David who becomes a wise king of Israel, and the profound embodied teachings of love brought by Jesus—through these great lives, a high tone sounds that inspired, fed, and strengthened my own awakening to spiritual purpose and destiny. This covenant of victory is mine and ours to fulfill in this day.
What is known as true in our deepest heart recognizes spiritual teachings of the heart. Beyond the constraints of “religion,” the Bible reveals the strength of spiritual character needed in this day to meet the challenge of instability, chaos, and change happening in the world.
Here are two examples from an abundance of precious teachings contained in the Bible!
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he”
—Proverbs 23:7
This is a call to direct our thoughts and feelings to know the spiritual and emotional intelligence of a pure heart needed to manifest true creation.
“Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”
—Mathew 15:11
Succinctly put, heed the quality and nature of the spirit you express and let the power of purification take care of what needs to pass away!
I invite you to explore the abundant treasures of deep insight, courage, and wisdom brought down to us by our spiritual ancestors who tell us the story of our own human destiny to be fulfilled on this day!
What Is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
With you in this, Howard. May my heart be pure. May my stature be vertical and consistent. Love, Tom
Thank you, Howard, for your reminder that a pure heart has so much to teach us about our conduct and what we express. As you indicate, this is “the strength of spiritual character needed in this day to meet the challenge of instability, chaos, and change happening in the world.” I believe our world is facing an existential crisis, a crisis that can only be creatively met by the spiritual work we are individually and collectively doing.
