I had to check back to see the last (and only) time I previously wrote about Jim Palmer and his dissatisfaction with his religious roots. It was June 21st, 2023—“Harmful Beliefs”— Here is his bio-quote from that posting on the danger of misguided beliefs: “As you know, I once was an evangelical megachurch pastor andContinue reading “What To Know About Religion”

A Fan of Wisdom
Lee Harris was visiting with Tami Simon, founder of “Sounds True” in a special series: “Insights at the Edge;”and he was channeling for the “Zs” (his guides) who were elaborating about her and her efforts to enlighten others through her extensive online work. The “Zs”, through Lee, called her “a fan of Wisdom” –one whoContinue reading “A Fan of Wisdom”
The Past Is the Future’s Predictor—True or False?
Many believe that past actions are indicators of a similar future yet to be. I disagree. I think that the past only informs the present; while present actions portend the future. You have a choice every moment of every day to slip into past behavior repetitions or to shift into a new mode of being—aContinue reading “The Past Is the Future’s Predictor—True or False?”
Thank You Matt
For some strange reason reading this post from Matt Moberg (actual painter of the above image) tamed my intense inner agitation and reminded me of a William Carlos Williams poem “The Red Wheelbarrow”: The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams – 1883 – 1963 “ so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed withContinue reading “Thank You Matt”
‘Feeling Concerned’ Is An Understatement
I resist commenting on political antics as much as possible, but this post captured the genuine concern most of us share. It is real. It is happening. And it is just a matter of time before it can no longer be ignored by those around him. *** “Oregon’s Bay Area is feeling concerned. · D____Continue reading “‘Feeling Concerned’ Is An Understatement”
You Are the BOSS of Your Reality
We are all just filaments of light penetrating the darkness surrounding us. I think Nicky Hamid states it poetically below how to use your light strand’s ability to shift your reality from darkness to illumined clarity: *** “While the world of human affairs appears to be going to ‘hell’ in an unstoppable downslide, you areContinue reading “You Are the BOSS of Your Reality”
What Is Civilization?
(Pardon me for reusing this graphic above (from “It’s Been Strange”), but it is so amazing and pertains to the questions below, that I couldn’t find a better one.) The questions continue: What is the difference between a ‘civilized’ society and an ‘uncivilized’ one? How can you tell the difference? How do individuals function togetherContinue reading “What Is Civilization?”
NOT Okay
In today’s world there is a whole lot of “NOT Okay!” out there; and at present that is to be expected. It would be MORE concerning if people were unaffected by the sheer insanity and extensive brutality of the today’s world leadership. To be clear here: You are normal. They are not. That is anContinue reading “NOT Okay”
“You Stand in Sacred Motion”
I’ve noticed lately a flushing of old memories seemingly unprompted; and that always makes me suspicious of what is actually happening not just to me, but likely to everyone and to everything around us. Where memories trigger feelings—old emotions—sometimes pleasant, sometimes not, rise to the surface for reexamination offering us an opportunity to glean wisdomContinue reading ““You Stand in Sacred Motion””
Choosing Your Path
For many the thought that you can choose your path is a foreign concept. For them life paths are chosen without their input or willingness. Some may call it fate. Some might call it karma. Some will know it only as oppression. For those of us who DO believe that we have a choice inContinue reading “Choosing Your Path”
Stare Into the Illusion
“If you stare deeply into this illusion, something hidden will slowly rise from the shadows… something that was always there, waiting.” Jahaziel *** Hmmm. Is it an eagle, a chicken, or Pegasus, the winged horse? Or did someone just barf their lunch on the sidewalk? Not sure. I guess the point of it is thatContinue reading “Stare Into the Illusion”
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Seriously that’s a good question: What is this ‘emotional intelligence’ that everyone talks about? Online it is described as: “Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and manage one’s own emotions and relationships. It involves being aware of emotions in oneself and others and using this awareness to guide thinking and behavior. EmotionallyContinue reading “What Is Emotional Intelligence?”
