Soul Musings with Dr. Connie: Exploring and Embracing Higher Perspectives
Every 2nd Wednesday 1pm PT / 4pm ET
Did you know all experiences in your life are “FOR you”?
Join Soul Musings: Exploring and Embracing Higher Perspectives with me, Dr. Connie Stomper, as we examine how we can use all experiences in life for spiritual expansion, learning and growth. What may seem challenging on the physical, emotional or mental level can actually be purposeful for our souls evolution. When we take the perspective that: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” (Jesuit philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin), we see life differently.
From that vantage point, we understand that we are here learn to grow more and more into our true nature as souls— a nature characterized by loving, compassion, joy, peace and service. With that focus, we can exercise those qualities in any situation in order to build those “spiritual muscles” that put us more in touch with who we truly are. We can choose to act not only for our own upliftment but with an intention of the highest good of all concerned.
Knowing this life is “for us” as a soul, we can also learn to create more intentionally and with a focus on the essence of the experience we want and not simply the form that we hope will bring us what we are looking for. So many times we work to create something in our lives—-a job, a relationship, a house, money only to find that even when we get it, it does not bring us the satisfaction, love, joy or whatever experience we thought it would bring. As we realize more and more that as a soul we ARE those qualities we hoped would be supplied by something outside of ourselves, we can learn to co-create with spirit from the fullness of who we are. Our outer world becomes an expression of those qualities, rather than thinking we need the outer experience for something that is really a quality of our true self.
Soul Musings also bring this higher perspective in looking at ways we can live and work together in order to build a more loving, cooperative world. By honoring ourselves and others as souls who are infinitely creative and capable, we can vision and manifest a world that works for everyone. We’ll explore principles of communication and collaboration within ourselves, in couples and other one-to-one relationships, and in groups with a focus on the consensus decision making process and the essence of “community.” In this way we can move into owning our lives as “FOR us” individually and collectively to lift higher and co-create In alignment with our divine nature. In each episode, Dr. Connie will share awarenesses and tools gained from her own life experience that you can use in your own soul’s journey. As we embrace this perspective that we are spiritual beings here to expand spiritually, we can live life, as the poet Rumi said, “as if everything is rigged in our favor.”

About Dr. Connie ~
Dr. Connie Stomper earned a masters degree and doctorate in education and psychology from Columbia University in New York.
An ordained minister since 1983, she graduated from Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy in Los Angeles with a Masters and Doctoral degree in Spiritual Science. The research on self and others that Connie did in this extraordinary program became the a core part of the workshops, counseling and writings described on her website, soulmusings.org. Her treatise, “My Life is For Me” is still alive as a profound approach to life and a powerful resource in her work with others.
Her commitment to individual and world peace and to greater loving on the planet has also taken her on journeys to over 30 countries around the world, 20 of which were led by John Roger, founder of MSIA. This interest in a cooperative world has motivated her involvement with organizations such as The Institute for Individual and World Peace and The Community Planet Foundation, whose training in consciousness of Community and consensus decision-making she co-created and co-facilitates.
She has been an organizational consultant and trainer, elementary school teacher, college instructor, and curriculum developer in a variety of organizational and academic settings. She has created workshops in areas such as team building, customer service, listening skills, problem solving, and conflict resolution and is certified in the Meyers-Briggs personality profile and in dispute resolution.
Having overcome serious health challenges, Connie has studied many forms of alternative and cutting edge medicine and often shares knowledge of enhancements to health in her holistic approach to counseling. Some of her spiritual awareness comes from a shared death experience when her mom transitioned into spirit and later a near death experience of her own.
For the past three years, she has hosted a daily intercessory prayer call based on a prayer for the world and there are now intercessory prayer calls in three other countries which she helped start and still supports.
Play, laughter, meditation and other sacred practices, keeping abreast of the world issues, hosting games parties, and deep engagement with friends are among her favorite ways to remember herself as a soul.
