How do we as individuals, survive difficult times? I know everyone is a little bit different in how they view the world that we all share, including how they see themselves in it, and even in how they strategize how to personally make it from one day to the next with their sanity intact. AndContinue reading “Insight, Courage, Endurance”

This LIFE Is Ours to Choose
After that Jungian summit a few months ago, I liked best the session by James Hollis, PhD, so I purchased a couple of his latest books: 1) Living an Examined Life: Wisdom for the Second Half of the Journey, and 2) Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times. For me, reading Hollis isContinue reading “This LIFE Is Ours to Choose”
The Certainty of Ignorance
Had I not just read a copy of (and stifled a critical comment on) the shared-sermon spoken Sunday at my friend’s church service, I might have brushed over this little interchange below, but the “absolute certainty” expressed in the comment on the picture presented above accentuated my earlier feeling on the sermon’s ‘factual accuracy.’ “AnotherContinue reading “The Certainty of Ignorance”
Preparing for the Next Phase of Life
Earthschool Harmony “Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that weContinue reading “Preparing for the Next Phase of Life”
Lee Harris on “Who Are We Becoming?”
As a pretty empathic and experienced energy-worker myself, I can acknowledge how difficult the world’s current ‘collective energies’ are at present. So to avoid ‘empathic sensory overload,’ sometimes I simply shut off the non-stop news channels to better control my own thoughts—steering my mental gyrations where I want them to go—focusing instead on higher-frequency statesContinue reading “Lee Harris on “Who Are We Becoming?””
“How Einstein Saw the Universe”
Again, just sharing the thoughts of others, particularly from one of my three biggest heroes of humankind (Jung, Fuller, Einstein). The ‘bold’ statements below could have easily arisen from my own experiences/beliefs. Ecological Consciousness “~How Einstein Saw the Universe~ ‘From the age of twelve I began to suspect authority and distrust teachers. I learned mostlyContinue reading ““How Einstein Saw the Universe””
Something Versus Nothing
The image above captured my attention showing binary coding looking more “worm-holish” than a standard 2-dimensional computer-screen version—more like a ‘coding tunnel’ intentionally designed to lead somewhere-other-than-here; and I felt a sudden perspective shift. This binary data tunnel above, funneling away through the background ‘information matrix’ and extending off into some unknown ‘data-collection universe,’ seemsContinue reading “Something Versus Nothing”
James Van Praagh Book Quotes
Here is a book well worth perusing: James Van Praagh’s Adventures of the Soul: Journeys Through the Physical and Spiritual Dimensions Long ago I accepted an opportunity to receive the online PDF version of Van Praagh’s Adventures of the Soul book that was made available (likely through Hay House). I’ve read parts of it but I’mContinue reading “James Van Praagh Book Quotes”
Eckhart Tolle on DOING and BEING
Sometimes ‘seeing with new eyes’ requires us to make a serious perspective shift; and I really like what Eckhart Tolle did here with his explanation on “DOING” and “BEING”. (Click his name to reach his Facebook page.) “Eckhart Tolle Dear friends, Over the years, many people have asked me about finding their purpose in thisContinue reading “Eckhart Tolle on DOING and BEING”
This Aperture’s View Today
While this is not what I had intended to write about today, it must be what is internally pushing hardest to appear here now, so there you go. Similar to Popeye’s favorite slogan, “I writes what I writes.” It’s like that Alan Watts quote, whatever has the strongest desire to transmit at the time throughContinue reading “This Aperture’s View Today”
Defining Your Identity
“Who ARE you?” Can you truthfully answer that above question? I’ve identified myself so many different ways during all the phases of my life that I’m not sure how I would have answered that question during each of those growth phases, because to me IDENTITY has more to do with how we think ofContinue reading “Defining Your Identity”
The Birth of Empathy
“’For every event in life,’ says the Dalai Lama, ‘there are many different angles.’ There is, perhaps, no greater route to joy than this. Taking a ‘God’s-eye perspective,’ as Archbishop Tutu says, allows for the birth of empathy—the trait that creates joy not only in the one, but in the many. Empathy opens the doorContinue reading “The Birth of Empathy”
