“Our beliefs and concepts are the greatest obstacles to awakening.” (AwakenTheWorld) *** This won’t be another rant against organized religions, although it’s clear how detrimental I feel that many of them are by discouraging an individual’s self-inquiry and personal consciousness development. We can actually be biased and closed-minded about most anything that we encounter inContinue reading “Beliefs and Concepts”

Wishing You Peace
This is the time of year when we gather with family and friends for good food, fellowship, and joy. At least that’s the intention of the year-end holiday season, but not everyone is so blessed right now. And while I do wish everyone an abundance of food, love, peace and joviality, I also know thatContinue reading “Wishing You Peace”
“To Make You Feel My Love”
“When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your caseI could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love…” Bob Dylan When I meditated on this lovely image for awhile, in my mind I heard Billie Joel singing this Dylan song’s title words, “To Make You Feel MyContinue reading ““To Make You Feel My Love””
Transcendence
“…In religious experience transcendence is a state of being that has overcome the limitations of physical existence and by some definitions has also become independent of it. This is typically manifested in prayer, séance, meditation, psychedelics and paranormal ‘visions’….” (Wiki) *** When we are born into this world many say that we are born asContinue reading “Transcendence”
Depth Plunge in Minutiae
As a jig-saw puzzle fanatic I can obsess for hours over a thousand random puzzle pieces spread across a card-table waiting for sense to be made from it all, because to me it’s a challenge and perhaps a metaphor for LIFE. What makes ‘the sense’ part you might ask in a puzzle or in LIFE?Continue reading “Depth Plunge in Minutiae”
A Walking Bundle of Frequencies
“We are slowed-down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.” ~ Albert Einstein Earthschool Harmony
Don’t Assume
Who is running the show here? Ever ask yourself that question? Wish I could answer it for you, but not certain that I really know myself. I think the most important thing in this quizzical scenario is don’t assume that you know exactly what is happening to you, around you, or within you, because weContinue reading “Don’t Assume”
Reality Challenged
Yesterday for some reason my head was all over the place and suddenly I was recalling a visual scene ‘memory’ from a TV show or a movie, so I watched it vividly replay in my mind; then I stopped and thought, “No, wait…that wasn’t a show or a movie that I saw that in, itContinue reading “Reality Challenged”
The Intelligent Ocean of Consciousness
“The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.” – Euclid Nassim Haramein *** Pretty sure I’m referring to Akasha again but in a different way here. This illusive concept is hard to get your head around: that this ocean of space and seeming non-substance in which we exist is itself alive, justContinue reading ” The Intelligent Ocean of Consciousness”
Like Dad
I was reminiscing about what my mother and grandmother taught me (Wrapping the Garden), but during the process failed to give my dad his due. If I was behaviorally similar to anyone—including my cliff-jumper Aries personality, it was to him—a fellow Aries. My mother jokingly swore I was his actual birth-child because we were soContinue reading “Like Dad”
It’s Been Strange
Sometimes I wonder what makes this time—this particular age of humanity—any different than other periods. With our own limited-longevity perspectives, it is hard to compare other more distant time periods to our current age. We only have historical inscribed-stone artifacts or scrolls or ancient tomes to review for that comparison, and since we weren’t aroundContinue reading “It’s Been Strange”
Responding to an ‘Initiation’ Crisis
“You never know what you are made of until you must face your greatest fears head-on.” *** Different modalities or belief systems often talk about “initiations” as being the point where a young person is suddenly confronted by the sometimes cruel or grueling complexity of life itself. Many ‘coming of age’ stories talk about anContinue reading “Responding to an ‘Initiation’ Crisis”
