I write, speak, invest, network, and question to stimulate fruitful conversation. Let's talk about human flourishing! It begins with freedom. Holy leisure is the key to human being, freedom and generativity. Please join me in the adventure of realizing Christ!
Catholics Communicate Christ
Many years ago I published a quick handbook for Catholic writers, hoping to encourage more people to offer their writing in service to the Church. The title is being re-used for this new book, because I could not imagine a pithier synopsis of its content. We Christians exist in this world as the means God has chosen for His own self-revelation. To that end, we need to remedy the sad lack of community life within His Body. First, the Church, then the rise of the persons within her, and, finally, the rescue of those outside her – this is the order of approach. We need for the Church to be more fully realized as community, as collaboration, and as communication of Christ, in order that the Word may dwell more richly within us and resound in the world.
As always, my dream for this book is that it would stimulate many hours of wonderful conversation. Unless it is brought to life among the members of the Body, it will never be fully realized as a means of edifying the Church. I am always available to discuss any of my books, to speak on the topics I’ve invested in for many years, and to offer myself however I can for the good of this membership. Please let me know how I can be of help to you in any way.
I’d also dearly love your feedback on this book!
Thanks, in advance, Charlotte

A Harmony of Healing
After many years of kitchen table conversation, all my thoughts on ‘alternative’ healing modalities are in one place! I can’t remain quiet while truly amazing remedies are dismissed out of hand by Catholics who call them ‘unscientific’. I can’t stay silent when an over-reliance on the allopathic, Western medical model is daily undermining the health of my brothers and sisters in Christ. On the other hand, I’m unwilling to give unquestioning assent to anything that calls itself ‘healing.’ Attachment to the perfection of physical health and/or fear of the natural risks of being alive also undermine the health of the Body of Christ. There must be a narrow way, where Christ can accompany us on a journey to appropriate what we can, discern what is helpful and what is harmful, and guide those around us to a balanced concern for health, with a balanced interest in the many modes of approach to health available in our interconnected world.
My dream for this book is that it would become the focus of conversation among Catholics and other Christians with interest in the spaces of health, medical autonomy, biohacking, nutrition, holistic wellness, and other related topics. Please contact me if you do want to use this book for a group discussion, and I will supply copies at the lowest possible cost.

Detective Fiction
Excerpts from 3D Freedom, Chapter 10: Detective Fiction
Just follow along here, and let’s see where we end up:
Character A murders someone, and, though he doesn’t realize it, we see he is doomed to fall further. Evil compounds in the darkness, and his hidden deed imprisons him in that darkness as surely as if he has murdered himself, which of course, in a way, he has. Bummer – and it’s not even tragic, because we have no sense of his having fallen from a great height. We come upon him in media res, and he seems a worm doomed to digging deeper – not a tragic hero at all.
…
But imagine yourself actually in the story, as someone who has been acutely affected by Character B’s demise. Your next move would probably be to demand, from the author, some sort of justice. In this two-dimensional, story universe, that probably will look something like the eye-for-eye, tit-for-tat sort of justice that preceded the coming of Christ. Balance needed to be restored, so some sort of payment – actual money, or punishment – was exacted from the criminal, and all was, if not well, at least restored to equilibrium. For a while. Now and then, reciprocal eye-for-eyeing threatened the social order of a tribe, or community, to the extent that the people rounded up a victim to sacrifice as sort of a backfire to stop the flames of bloodlust.
…
To play the game well, the author must play by some rules, or we’ll take our marbles and go home. This is a sort of game played between us for our mutual delight. The author’s delight is different from ours – more slogging and anticipatory. We have all the fun of opening the surprise package to find a much smaller, less arduous dose of uphill climbing than he had in making it, plus, a swift and thrilling ride to the bottom, which he can only experience vicariously through our enjoyment. The limit to foreknowledge which makes the game fun for us is precisely what he gave up in preparing the story. He is, sadly, too omniscient to enjoy the fun of being in the game with us. Still, he has looked forward to our fun, so we should get back to it.
…
Restoring the life of the Victim was, after the Resurrection, the new normal. Because the Victim has access to eternal life, I can stop short of taking his killer’s life and then waiting for the killer’s relatives to come kill mine in an endless do-loop of titting and tatting. Because Christ can make even the killer into a new man, society could realize, if not a net gain, at least a neutral position in lives by the trade. It’s a hope, anyway, that made more people stop and think before killing again. Suddenly, for Christians, both Victim and Killer were more fully-realized as human beings…even, brothers.
…
How shall Hope enter the story? In the form of the detective! All is dark, but he is a character who brings light into that darkness, because he envisions a future in which the killer has been unmasked. Over and over it has happened, in his experience, so he fully expects it to happen again. (One does wonder why people keep inviting detectives back to dinner parties…) He walks in confidence, even while still clueless. He will look at every Fact he can round up, believing that Facts are wonderful things that, like seeds, contain the light of Reality from beyond the sphere of Here-and-Now. From, in fact, that future he is imagining. That future, far from being ghostly and unreal, is laying all around him in the form of Facts – just waiting to be assembled rightly into a signpost that points to the murderer.

He Must Increase
I’ve just met Jason Nunez, of the John 3:30 podcast. Thanks to a listener who recommended me as a guest on his show, we had a lovely chat this morning. It’s now available here, and on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and anywhere podcasts can be found. Look for Episode #94 for my interview, and stay tuned for Jason’s big surprise in Episode #100, soon to come!
Here’s a bit more about Jason, from the John 3:30 site:
The John 3:30 Podcast is hosted by Jason Nunez. He is a Catholic Husband and Father who is doing everything he can to help get his Family to Heaven. Jason loves to watch movies with his family and he is a huge Dave Matthews Band Fan. He and his Family are Parishioners at The Church of The Holy Spirit in San Antonio TX. Jason was raised Catholic, but as most, he went through the motions for most of his Teenage, 20s and early 30s. After attending an ACTS Retreat in October of 2012 has been “on fire” for his Catholic Faith. Jason began to feel that God was calling him to spread the word on how “everyday” people keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith. So The John 3:30 Podcast was created!! Join him as he shares the many ways our Faith can keep your fire burning. Thanks for listening and God Bless you all!!
“He must increase; I must decrease.” – John 3:30
Jason was interested in the resource I have available for free here: How to Plan a Great Catholic Event
We discussed the books Souls at Rest (endorsed by Dan Burke) Souls at Work (endorsed by Stratford Caldecott), Upschooling (endorsed by Joseph Pearce), and the Freedom Trilogy (You, Free , Full Spectrum Freedom, and 3D Freedom…endorsed by those I counsel personally). (These link to Amazon sales pages.)
He asked what one thought I wanted to leave with listeners, and that is: “If you need anything, please contact me. I actually respond!!!” Here’s a contact form for anyone reading or listening, who might have questions, need a phone chat or a correspondence or a speaker or help realizing their creative ideas, or who just wants to connect for conversation or some other adventure:
Joseph Pearce Likes My New Book!!!
“I can think of no better guide for homeschooling parents …”
Even if very few copies ever sell (think: zero marketing budget), the esteem of Joseph Pearce is satisfaction enough for me. Don’t get me wrong: I do wish copies would sell, too! But I am content to leave promotion in the hands of the Holy Spirit. My fondest hope is that groups of parent educators would get together and discuss a chapter now and then, and that I might be an encouragement to them in their profoundly important work.
Please help me welcome Upschooling into the world of print (cue applause):
Here’s a link to Upschooling on Amazon.
Here are all the goodies from the back cover:
If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly. So says Chesterton. Homeschooling is so worth doing that it’s worth doing badly. It is, however, better to do it better. Charlotte Ostermann shows us how we can do it better. She shows us how to think so far outside the box that we can throw the box away. Even more important, she shows us beauty and how we can show beauty to our children. I can think of no better guide for homeschooling parents than Charlotte Ostermann.
Joseph Pearce, author of Frodo’s Journey, Catholic Literary Giants, and Literature: What Every Catholic Should Know
Charlotte Ostermann, veteran homeschool speaker, provides stimulating ‘teacher in-service training’ for parent educators. Each chapter is a meaty and inspirational seminar meant to challenge and encourage readers in their vocations. Parent, educator, evangelist, communicator, and anyone with an interest in the integral development of the human person will find this a rich resource for continuing education and intellectual growth.
If you missed the packed rooms where these talks were given in person, don’t miss this second chance to engage with the material. The author’s goal is to help you cultivate freedom for yourself and your students. Each workshop stands alone, so you may pick and choose to good effect. Pick one to read with a group if you love a great conversation!
“Charlotte Ostermann is a fine practitioner and excellent theorist of education. Those who read these chapters will find them winsome and wise; they are a source of potential delight and instruction for anyone interested in the nature and purpose of education or in practical strategies for educating one’s children or students well.”
–Benjamin V. Beier, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Education, Hillsdale College
“Charlotte has a way of communicating reality in a succinct yet rich way. Sometimes I remember her talk on flatitudes and floatitudes and it still helps me to have a lens through which I can analyze my choices and behavior on a day-to-day basis. She makes concepts that really are quite sophisticated accessible and exciting, as well as deeply personal and meaningful for my heart. Thank you Charlotte for being a missionary of Truth in today’s context! Anyone, not just home educators, can truly benefit from her work.” Brooklynn S.
“Charlotte’s talk left me with food for thought. It was well structured, thought through and presented.” Anna T.
“Her breadth of preparation and understanding, coupled with her unusually fine speaking skills, have made her a popular speaker for age groups from ages 18 to 80, from a variety of backgrounds.”
– Nancy Yacher, Department of English, University of Kansas
Praise for Souls at Work – An Invitation to Freedom
“Charlotte Ostermann’s Souls at Work is an engaging and beautifully written book that is particularly important for parents and home educators. I have been teaching my children at home for the better part of two decades, yet the ideas proposed about freedom and the life of the soul are new to me and have left me feeling refreshed and inspired.”
– Alice Gunther, author of Haystack Full of Needles
“If you are a teacher, or a homeschooler, or if you simply want to be ‘fully human, truly free,’ you will find what your soul needs in Charlotte’s gentle wisdom.”
– Stratford Caldecott, author of Beauty for Truth’s Sake
So Quote Me!
Flannery O’Connor says
“The ideal form for unadulterated wisdom is the aphorism.”1
A. G. Sertillanges, in Chapter 1 of The Intellectual Life, concurs:
“The world is in danger for lack of life-giving maxims.”
Well, here we go!
I love aphorisms, so may all my unadulterated wisdom be yours for the taking, or at least some of it I’ve managed to aphor-ize.
“Truth can comprehend error, but error can’t comprehend truth.”
“Don’t be a BB!”
“It’s not a great idea until it’s well-expressed.”
“Unless it moves through you, it doesn’t get to you.”
“Aim to get the child done through the work, not the work done through the child.”
“Your free act is an invitation to freedom for those who receive it.”
“Nothing is wasted in God’s economy.”
“You’re not going around in circles, but growing spirally, like a tree!”
“Christ makes you more truly and fully who you really are.”
“Today, you are more fully realized than ever before.”
“If it isn’t moving, it’s not mercy.”
“Sarcasm is the sound of one who despairs of being heard.”
“Frustration is the constant state of impatient souls.”
“Stop driving and dance!”
“To be free is to wield yourself according to your own desires, and to yield yourself according to God’s.”
“Think great thoughts!”

Resolving Tension Creatively
There is tension inherent in the process of appropriating Reality.
The imperfection of Persons and Forms causes tension.
The attraction/delight and vulnerability/repulsion felt in the encounter with Form cause tension.
The need to resolve the implications of multiple goods, or multiple Realities causes tension.
In order to grow better able to handle tension, we need practice.
Growth in the capacity to bear and resolve tension is growth in freedom, interior spaciousness, maturity, correspondence to Reality.
Higher Forms cause higher tension. We need them in order to grow.
Lower Forms are more likely to be flawed and de-formational. We need them in order to grow.
Quantum Confusion
In my Freedom Trilogy (You, Free, Full Spectrum Freedom, and 3D Freedom), I speak of the human person as ‘three dimensional,’ rather than as the flattened, linear being he has been reduced to by post-Enlightenment scientific materialist reductionism. I’m not the only one talking about the reduction of man. Joe Dispenza has been called to my attention because he, likewise, speaks of our being ‘dimensional,’ and ‘non-linear’. I was familiar with Dispenza, having read his book The Placebo Effect and found it fascinating. I’ve now spent hours listening to him to see where we might resonate with one another. When he sticks to new scientific discoveries, it’s a thrilling ride. I fall away as he makes a new religion of it all.
I want to be on record as cautioning Catholics against uncritical acceptance of his (and similar) work. He and I, it would seem, both are interested in inviting people to find greater health, coherence, free agency, and happiness. The appeal of his work is, in part, the truly fascinating documentation of the scientific basis for the claim that our thoughts have tremendous potential to change our physical, emotional and relational experiences.
My problem with his approach, though, is that it offers escape from, rather than correspondence to reality; manipulation for power and gain, rather than glorification of God; and self-making rather than co-operation with God’s work in the human person for His own, greater, purposes. While I find much to disagree with, there are a few points of cautious agreement. I would definitely not recommend his work to those without mature, Catholic discernment. By ‘Catholic’ I mean, ‘actually Catholic,’ and not just ‘Christian,’ because it is clear to me that any fragment of the full deposit of faith will not be a sufficient ground for (and might be a dangerously shaky ground for) engagement with ideas like his that so closely approach received truths before bending them. In fact, much of the force driving uncritical acceptance of ideas like these is coming from a fractured Christianity looking to the quantum field for coherence instead of to the Church.
I, like many writers today, speak of ‘freedom,’ ‘energy,’ ‘hopeful futures,’ ‘resonance,’ ‘transcendence of past emotions,’ ‘cognitive restructuring of habit patterns,’ ‘neuroplasticity,’ and ‘wholeness.’ Unlike most, I do not believe that the ‘possible human’ is possible without God, or that there is any place in thought or on earth to stand as secure as His Church, for the full realization of human beings.
My ‘3D Free’ human person is coherent as one single personality over time, within the being of God, and may not look ‘highly evolved’ or ‘successful’ or even ‘healthy’ here on earth. His soul develops along with his virtue, his correspondence to reality (not his projection of self onto reality), and his love of God. Love (a Person outside him, not a feeling inside him) is the context of his being, and Love reaches toward him whether he reaches toward higher consciousness or not. His destiny is to be raised above the angels into eternal communion with the Person who made him. He will never be God, thank God, but will have opportunities while in time to grow better able to enjoy the adventure of life in co-operation with God. The only point of entrance into the divine mind is His own Word, Jesus Christ, who spoke definitively from the Cross the words continuously resounding through His Body to this day: Thy will be done.
I actually think that some of what quantum physics is probing is the ‘matrix of Holy Wisdom,’ pre-material structure of correspondences between the persons of the Trinity – a ‘web’ of law pulsing with the light generated by the Love flowing ceaselessly between them. If man is made for correspondence to reality, then it would seem he would eventually arrive at, at least, the outer boundary of this interior life of theirs to find his own earthly reality limited by comparison. It may be that in growing toward our destiny we will, collectively, come into possession of laws that supersede without negating all we know as natural law.
The havoc we’ve wreaked as we’ve learned to manipulate the laws of the material creation should teach us not to grasp too quickly for more. I believe that the protection of the Church, of Sacraments, of Christ’s interior presence and of clear doctrine is a necessary support even for approach to what may be a ‘dimension’ of seemingly incomparable ‘power and glory.’ The phrase, “To God be all glory and power” has never been so clearly needed as now, when man is on the verge of hacking his own brain. Those who enter this new territory unprotected and naively believing they are alone there, without non-material enemies who may more readily take advantage of them the more they dissociate from concrete reality may find it very difficult to maintain self-coherence and sanity as they pursue ‘possible futures’ that glitter with wish fulfillment.
Sadly, there are those I would love to reach who will discount my books out of hand because I approach this territory of self-realization, realization of hopeful futures, full human dimensionality. I use, for instance, the words ‘quantum shift’ to discuss the amazing power of the moment when a man becomes an actor, able to respond to reality, instead of an object being crushed by reality. Some won’t make it past the word ‘quantum,’ and such is life.
What follows are more specifics about the things that repelled and those that attracted me in Dispenza’s work. I believe that his intentions are good, and that he is dangerous not because of all his errors, but because of so much that is right in the mix, thus causing confusion. These are my own listening/reading notes and thoughts, and have not been formalized into full arguments. Take them as suggestions about what to consider, rather than as systematic documentation or proof. Please avoid his teachings unless you clearly understand the ‘red flag warnings’ below.
RED FLAGS
Gnosticism
JD offers the possibility of gaining access to higher consciousness, enlightenment, divine mind via special teaching, initiation, spirit guidance; notice that the speaker, once famous, offers himself to an increasingly narrow in-group of higher-paying true believers; if you currently have a ‘lesser evolved spouse,’ for instance, you might need a change to fit your new higher consciousness Note: Catholic teaching is available and accessible to all and is life-changing, life-supporting and life-giving to a degree never matched in history.
The Guru overrides the wariness of his listeners
JD subtly groups those who are ‘in’ and ‘out’, constantly asks “Are you with me?” cautions listeners against their feelings of wariness, a non-believer in the group might ruin the vibe for everyone in the collective mind…chilling cutting out of those with ‘lower consciousness’ Understandably, when the message is ‘believe rightly’ and you will get what you want, it’s important that our desires don’t clash (I can’t give you this power if you’re liable to use it to get something I don’t want you to have.), thus our beliefs can’t clash or we won’t evolve. Note: Jesus welcomes all, isn’t threatened by those who don’t believe. It’s interesting that the best support in the world for a society with respect for a plurality of beliefs is…drumroll please…Christianity. It wasn’t even a possibility in the pre-Christian world.
Escape Limitations
anything will be possible to those who believe and cultivate the power to create reality, the escape of the limitations of personality, past, concrete reality is a constant theme here; Note: true freedom is possible because of limitations. In the ‘reality’ the Church is talking about, the concrete/natural is woven together beautifully with the ideal/divine in such a way that we do not escape from, but rather reconcile our persons to, God.
Escape Dogmas, Doctrines
JD wants to achieve a direct connection to the divine; he is decidedly anti-religion and I have an article of his in which he advocates getting rid of the ‘big three’ by any means necessary…clearly we are interfering with man’s evolution; Note – God (a person, not an impersonal ‘divine mind’) has made Himself known through the incarnation of His Son, who is now present to the world (Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity) through the mediation of His Body, the Church.
Evolution of Super-Man as Dogma
JD et al understandably seek divinization, but without a god to bow to. Man will become his own god, create himself, sustain his own being by use of knowledge, power, technique. Note: growing up in all things unto Christ is the hope of the Christian and the path toward his divinization – it requires the person’s co-operation with the action of God upon the person; co-operation involves seeking knowledge of God as He is, in His Church, in His Eucharistic Presence, whereas this self-evolution sounds more like grasping at the possibility of the risen self without going through the identification with the crucifixion of Christ; I am not evolving to become a superman, but growing up to become, at my ‘highest’, a unique and unrepeatable realization of Christ, through whom I will continue to live as an individual not because of my highly evolved being, but because of His atoning sacrifice. So this desire for divinization is awareness of a possibility God himself designed…but to approach it outside his own ‘way’ of approach is dangerous.
Surrender
the experience of the ‘highest consciousness’ is one of utter abandonment to the experience of being, but this is a human person ‘angelicized,’ transcending the actuality of matter; Note: we are meant for surrender only to the Lord God Jesus Christ. Our souls long for this union with Him and then are prey to offers of surrender-experience that get around the actual surrender to Him. Such substitutes can be overwhelmingly positive as physical or emotional experiences (like concerts, drug use, illicit sex, etc…) and thus prevent our reaching out for the only thing that truly satisfies the soul’s longing for him. Self-generated gamma-wave states are not necessarily bad, and may do the body or mind some good, but the danger is that people are accepting them as the ultimate experience. The ‘enlightened ones’ are less and less able to turn and bend down to the reality of the life they lead on the ground, with actual people, serving unenlightened ones, or experiencing tremendous distress or difficulty.
Leaving the Self Behind
the utopia of ‘higher consciousness,’ even when it seeks physical health, seems aimed at the unmaking of individual selves; the teachings hit at the very notion of a single coherent self and lure listeners toward the ‘possibility thinking’ of continuous self-reinvention and merger into the collective mind; Note: the self is meant to be coherent over time, into eternity; so many voices are suggesting to people that they can be any number of selves/personalities and can write any story…I am not meant for ultimate mergence into some universal mind, or being, or force, but to become fully myself, inhabiting the destiny God has held for me in His own being since the moment in time when I was conceived and He gave me being.
Creating the Future
sounds like the ‘name it and claim it’ gospel…yes, we affect the future by our ideas and actions now, and yes, through prayer the Holy Spirit can “untie knots” caused by past events, but this sounds more like an attempt to control the future, or to have power over the future…I prefer to be truly peaceful by finding perfect trust in God to bring the self into encounter with whatever reality will help open my path into the future that leads to my destiny IN GOD…If you combine JD’s ‘great future’ with his ideas that religions should be squashed at all cost and that the less-evolved deserve whatever they get and you have a recipe for some very non-loving acting-out of people who’ve been taught they should get whatever they want in life.
Contempt for Means
I think protestant and secular culture have in common a ‘contempt for means’ that makes the Catholic, Sacramental way of being seem muddied with intermediaries and material stuff that interfere with ‘direct experience’ of God. So, the world is crying out for ‘experience’ and every marketer is feeding it to them through star intermediaries and material, imagistic, sensorial contexts crafted to be so immersive only the ‘direct experience’ remains embedded in the brain as pleasure-connected-to-product without the interference of the verbal, judgemental mind. People are sitting ducks for im-mediacy.
Mere Spirituality
lots of love and spirit and ecstasy and mysticism in these teachings; no allusion at all to any kind of angelic beings also operant in the ‘quantum field,’ so either the angels are not playing this game, or the demons are hiding until the boundaries of self are utterly broken down..Materialist vs Trans-materialist/spiritual are opposite extremes that could lead to worship of mammon, worship of …the quantum field? The possible self? An angelic guide? A guru? Note: no dogma, no doctrine = no ground, no foundation. All of this can be easily spiritualized to fit with any religion except ‘the big three,’ which may be why they seem so hostile and need to be gotten out of the way.
Imagination
the process JD teaches is the cultivation of an image of a desired-for Something, so vividly that the emotions of having received/achieved it are generated in response to the image. This is an amplification of the common, garden variety process by which people realize imagined ideas every day. One’s idea must touch the desire/emotions in order that the will be engaged to move toward the good. This is not a bad thing in itself, but how many people have the maturity necessary to both focus so intensely on an imagined good and also relinquish attachment to it? That detachment is a further necessity that brings even a great idea into tension with the will of God and the resolution of that tension is what actually ‘grows’ the person.
I worry about the greater context made possible by the extension of self imaginatively into the ‘quantum field,’ the future, or the field of all possibilities. Unless it becomes a vessel for the light of God, or an structure that leads upward to Truth, a context can become a trap (such as music, imagination, systematic theology) that serves for temporary expansion, but ultimately limits your horizons. In my Freedom Trilogy, I try to show, graphically, how the imagination can extend us forward, but also be a dangerous limitation in our encounter with reality.
I worry that your strongly imagined, filled-with-the-requisite-emotional-assent, intention may become a demand. If you demand to have what you imagine, you are not free. Your interior disposition prevents your acting in freedom to realize that idea, or move toward that desired good. I would never counsel you to fixate on developing a better mental image of what you want, because of this danger. You can become a slave to a strongly held idea.
Attraction
People are understandably fascinated by the scientific proofs that science doesn’t explain everything. A window has been opened in the bunker of materialism and a fresh breeze is blowing in. The romantic reaction to the scientific reductionism of the modern world has a new voice in quantum physics. Christians need to speak this language, but offer the necessary correctives I perceive in the one word, Church. With Jesus in John, Chapter 17, I pray that his people will be one – united under His headship to serve the world with clarity and confidence born of the Spirit’s protection of our doctrines and our unity.
Thanks for your attention to this. Please let me know what you think. I am very much open to cordial discussion of all these thoughts, and of those in any of my books.
