In Seeking Wisdom, Cameron focuses her attention particularly on the symbiotic relationship between spirituality and the creative process, with a special emphasis on prayer in its various forms: petition, gratitude, and praise. She notes that we can “all call on the creator,” and “we can all connect to the creator by practicing our creativity.”
“The point is to be willing to ask, and then be open to receiving,” she writes.
The book builds on The Artist’s Way framework, which was crafted in part out of Cameron’s painful struggle with alcohol in her 20s, her early attempts at recovery, and the new spiritual life that she discovered in the process. As she tried to stop drinking, she was encouraged to find a Higher Power of her own understanding, and “was advised that if I wanted to stay sober, I should pray.”
Cameron found expression of this Higher Power through the titular line of Dylan Thomas’s poem, “The force that through the green fuse drives the flower.” This energy, she writes, “powerful and benevolent, strong and yet tender” became “a doorway for me to a loving God—and all we both would create.”

LET'S NOT LIMIT NATURE
\"NATURE IS MY CHURCH!\" she exclaims. And I cringe. That may surprise many of you, what with my constant ecological and spiritual musings about squirrels, monkeys, and other nature-y creatures. My conundrum with this often-uttered sentiment is the artificial boundary the word nature creates. Let me explain.

TIME TO TAKE THE RISK
We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.-Hildegard of Bingen, 12th-century Benedictine mystic, medical practitioner, writer, and composer

Over the MOON About Helping Animals (and Their People)
Since I was a child, I've had a ritual: Every night, I go outside and search the sky for the moon and stars. I marvel at the magnificence of a dark, crisp, clear, midnight blue sky and its symphony of constellations, occasional meteors, and the glorious moon herself-each illuminating the vastness. This simple practice always gives me the deepest peace and centeredness. It aligns my internal compass every night before bed.

ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVES: AMANDLA STENBERG CHANNELS 'THE FORCE'
Journalist KAREN BRAILSFORD was over the moon when actress and musician AMANDLA STENBERG agreed to meet her over Zoom for this heart-to-heart about spiritual matters for Spirituality & Health: A Unity Publication. Brailsford, a lifelong seeker who feels blessed to be Stenberg's mother, once captioned an Instagram photo of her daughter with Michael Bernard Beckwith of the Agape International Spiritual Center: \"When your master teachers run into one another at a Hollywood event.\" Brailsford says she has learned a great deal from each one.

ANTI-RACISM IS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
GROWING UP in very charismatic and evangelical Christian spaces, I was told that the Devil's greatest trick was convincing us that he didn't exist. I feel a similar vibe when it comes to the big three systems of oppression-capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy-in New Thought and other spiritual spaces. These systems managed to convince some of us that they don't exist, we are immune from them, talking about them isn't helpful, or we will overcome them just by doing our spiritual practices.
