Lots of pure truth in this statement below. He also offers ‘spiritual readings’ if you are interested. “…Before we are our bodies and constructs we adhere to and live from, we are energy first. We are pieces of God incarnated into a body. When you accept this as truth and live from this… you canContinue reading “Shedding the Costume”

Small Victories
Hadn’t thought about it much until this morning when noting my own small victory that in itself seemed nearly insignificant until I compared it to what had become a too frequent occurrence to ignore. We all have these inconspicuous ‘small victories’ daily but we are usually too focused on the day’s larger issues and requirementsContinue reading “Small Victories”
Harmful Beliefs
Ran across this lengthy explanation/exposition on the shadow side of religious beliefs from Jim Palmer, a former evangelical megachurch pastor who no longer subscribes to the same doctrine that he once did. Just for noting my own opinions on the subject matter, anything that I STRONGLY agree to in his comments I will bold. ***Continue reading “Harmful Beliefs”
Relearning
The new literacy? Maybe in a ‘retraining for a new vocation’ sense, but to ‘learn, unlearn, and relearn’ are actually personal survival skills developed over the years as one faces every new dawn while striving to see the sun peacefully setting at that same day’s end. We all know that life is tough for thoseContinue reading “Relearning”
“Whether summoned or not, God will be present” – CG Jung
I’ve been a long-time fan of Carl Gustav Jung after reading his autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. So basically here I’m just passing along info sources and helping others to see that ‘beliefs’ in general are important to how we think of ourselves and consider our purpose in the world, or even more so in howContinue reading ““Whether summoned or not, God will be present” – CG Jung”
What Is Normal?
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” – quote Vincent Van Gogh –Image: Android Jones Nassim Haramein What is it like to be considered ‘normal’ or to live a ‘normal’ life? Pretty boring, I’ll bet. That doesn’t say much for us as a collective does it thatContinue reading “What Is Normal?”
The Pathless Land
It’s been decades since I last read Jiddu Krishnamurti’s books, but they are still around and well worth perusing. J. Krishnamurti was an astute and interesting soul. Discovered at adolescence in south India by the occultist Charles Webster Leadbeater of The Theosophical Society who upon seeing him sitting on a bench near their compound, recognizedContinue reading “The Pathless Land”
The Seeker
“I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories;Continue reading “The Seeker”
How Do You Find TRUTH?
Would you know TRUTH when you see it? Hear it? Feel it? Is TRUTH something that sneaks up on you unaware …then slaps the back of your head to get your attention? At one time or another I’ve questioned nearly every aspect of my life as to why I was experiencing whatever was occurring then.Continue reading “How Do You Find TRUTH?”
When the Music Died
“American Pie,” Don McLean’s song of ‘innocence lost,’ covers an insane decade of ‘coming of age’ in the 1960’s and early 70’s. It was a catchy dirge about busted illusions and the harshness of life beyond its normal performance stage. Shocked with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper in oneContinue reading “When the Music Died”
Listen to the Clouds and the Wind
For those of us living in this aggravated, hustling-bustling world, just BEING is hard to do. We almost feel guilty when we are not DOING something constructive. I know at times I do. But I remind myself that my presence here is not dependent on how productive I can be. Rather it is dependent onContinue reading “Listen to the Clouds and the Wind”
Refresher on DOING and BEING
Ran across Tolle’s reposting of an earlier entry and felt compelled to repeat it here again mainly because of the elaboration on the “vertical” and “horizontal dimensions” that he describes below. It stirred a memory of a shamanic class where the teacher described the ‘cross of our beingness’ where our vertical axis that connects usContinue reading “Refresher on DOING and BEING”
