Bob Carey walks campers through several of his inner healing counseling sessions. One was a woman who forgave a cigar smoking father after picturing him, in guided prayer, as a hurting child. He then leads the campers in a forgiveness meditation of their own. The talk is from the 1994 California Ocean Pines CFO.
Speaking to campers at the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1994, Bob Carey opens with a Japanese folktale about a stonecutter named Hashmu, who is told by a voice from heaven to simply “be yourself.” He traces his own path from Zen Buddhism and drugs to Christ. He also recalls a dying woman’s vision of “silver and gold threads” of love connecting everyone.
Bob Carey uses the Velveteen Rabbit’s idea that love is what makes a toy “real.” At the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1994 he maps a repeating cycle of peak experience, pride, crisis, and renewal. He illustrates it with his son Christopher’s broken arm and a boyhood vision of God seated on a plain wooden stool.
Bob Carey describes the Holy Spirit as the feminine person of the Trinity. Speaking to the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1994, he tells how a guided inner healing session let him forgive his long absent father and see him made whole again in prayer.
