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”
The NOW
“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.” – Eckhart Tolle *** You know it’s hard to be a grownup. So many responsibilities—so many choices—so muchContinue reading “The NOW”
Mastering Oneself
“If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self-mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose for living.” ~ Eckhart Tolle (@ Earthschool Harmony) Eckhart has evidently been reading my personal journal since I keep writing about self-masteryContinue reading “Mastering Oneself”
Seeing with the BIG Eye
“The old paradigm of birth to death represents an outdated concept that is woefully inadequate in defining the unfolding reality of expanded awareness. Materialist science is at the end of its days as most scientists are changing their views. The old concepts are soon to be relegated to the same dust bin as ‘the earthContinue reading “Seeing with the BIG Eye”
Becoming Someone Else
“When we can’t stop thinking about our problems, our mind and life merge. We become lost in the illusion of the dream. We could call this a ‘rut,’ but it goes much deeper than that. Along with our actions, our attitudes and feelings become repetitive. And we form the habit of being ourselves. To changeContinue reading “Becoming Someone Else”
Kaleidoscopic Reflections
When you think back now on the many different phases of your life, do you ever feel like you are staring one-eyed through an optical tube like a kaleidoscope that shifts the images into mirrored shapes and colors as you turn the shaft one way or the other? Turn it one way and you seeContinue reading “Kaleidoscopic Reflections”
Moving Though It
“We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds –Continue reading “Moving Though It”
Gifts
‘Gifts’ are one of those malleable concepts that may take time for us to personally realize because sometimes they may seem more like curses. At first our natural talents or proclivities may seem intrusive to us or even unwanted, or perhaps on a positive side they seem mystical or surreal in a sense, but notContinue reading “Gifts”
Defining the Self
The previous post was on the “SELF as Master,” meaning that in this context the SELF here was referring to the God-force SELF—the ALLness—the Everything. But even the ‘ego-self’ that most of us struggle to control, is a bit more diverse than saying it means ‘pure ego’ which also has its own range of implications.Continue reading “Defining the Self”
