Tao & Zen “To the Taoist mentality, the aimless, empty life does not suggest anything depressing. On the contrary, it suggests the freedom of clouds and mountain streams, wandering nowhere, of flowers in impenetrable canyons, beautiful for no one to see, and of the ocean surf forever washing the sand, no end.” ~Alan Watts — Continue reading “Reset”

Cultivating Joy
ॐ Nature Heals, Nature Reveals ॐ “I don’t think anyone ‘finds’ joy. Rather, we cultivate it by searching for the preciousness of small things, the ordinary miracles, that strengthen our hearts so we can keep them open to what is difficult: delight in taking a shower or a slow walk that has no destination, inContinue reading “Cultivating Joy”
The End of Victimization
I was listening this morning to a free promo video on Caroline Myss’ “The Mystical Truths Behind Radical Change”. Pretty sure she has an entire course on the subject (“The Great Transformation”), and I can offer you the Myss promo to view to decide if you might want to learn more: https://product.soundstrue.com/the-great-transformation/free-video/ It seems toContinue reading “The End of Victimization”
The Peace of Wild Things
Ecological Consciousness: “When we speak of Nature it is wrong to forget that we are ourselves a part of Nature.” — Henri Matisse Amen.
I Believe…
Anytime I elaborate on the subject of “beliefs” I know that I run the risk of offending others, but I truly think we all need to better examine WHY we believe what we do at this point in our lives. I myself was born and raised in the Heartland of America—Baptized Lutheran as a babyContinue reading “I Believe…”
Who Believes in TRUTH?
I think this graphic was from the “Tao and Zen” Facebook site. Of course since I’d just been writing about TRUTH in general, I was interested in it and in reading some of the extensive comments posted under it. Fascinating! Even the statement within the graphic created controversy. Comments were verbose and varied. This wasContinue reading “Who Believes in TRUTH?”
Common Understandings
I’m big into self-realization and self-actualization, and even had a division in my own company, Foundations of Light, LLC, that was called “True-Self Actualization”—meaning that I conducted classes on teaching others how to recognize and actualize their True Self. I know. These are just words. They mean little if you can’t even get your headContinue reading “Common Understandings”
Wordless TRUTH
From Mystic Path to Cosmic Consciousness “..the truth cannot be put into words; all we can do is make an effort to render the mystery of life intelligible to our minds.” – Inayat Khan Normally I would expound on this “mystery of life” type of TRUTH because that is one of my favorite subjects. Continue reading “Wordless TRUTH”
Inconvenient Truth
“…TRUTH, for most people, is a secondary consideration.” Bertrand Russell This was an easier graphic to grab than the one I preferred, but I can’t make a stationary image produce the same effect as an animated GIF in motion. On this first day of the year that we all hope is far better than theContinue reading “Inconvenient Truth”
Be the Awareness
“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.” Eckhart Tolle Many times that suggestion is easier said than done, but I do know that it is possible to do it. Throughout the day I’ve begun asking myself WHY I am thinking what I am thinking, or WHY I am feeling theContinue reading “Be the Awareness”
True Empowerment
Yeah, what he said. Dr Joe Dispenza – OFFICIAL NEWS & FAN PAGE “We should be brave enough to contemplate our lives, do what we thought was “outside the box,” and do it repeatedly. When we do that, we are on our way to a greater level of personal power. True empowerment comes when weContinue reading “True Empowerment”
“What Is REALLY Going On?”
In many ways it’s been a rough year for ALL of us; and were I into ‘standard thinking’ modes, I’d have likely had a hard time mentally handling much of what has occurred throughout this year. But at this stage of my life I can accept the general societal disruption (pandemic crisis/stock market crashing/Floyd killing-socialContinue reading ““What Is REALLY Going On?””
