I just read an account of the last three hundred years or so which so warped “history” that I finally blew my stack. If I’ve done any professional study, it’d be as an historian. This post is long for which I apologize. I feel the need to have my say. I was reading alleged accounts […]
Self-Servingness Permeates Everything
Mine, mine, mine, you fool! Credit: Business2community.com Judgment, the ego, and desire seem to go hand in hand. Judging another elevates me in my own sight. It calls the ego into action to do the elevating. Desire is also a call to action. The ego arises to fulfill the desire. If another stands in the […]
In a World that Few Hearts Survive
“Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world few hearts survive.” Thanks to Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. (1) I’d like to continue our conversation from two days ago. (2) Why do so few hearts survive? As we discussed yesterday, I think the problem is inherent in the structure of our communication in a Third-Dimensional […]
I, Robot: The Mechanism of Self-Interest
I’m watching how deeply my self-serving bias goes and, oh, my, it goes right down to basic, vote-changing, decision-making level. Prime Directive: All decisions must support me. Everything else flows from that. Of course I assume that everyone else acts in the same self-serving way. I treat people differently: When I see a friend acting […]
The Cabal and Clarity
One of the foundations of spirituality is that the truth will set us free. I know often when I realize and speak the truth about an upset or issue, I feel a sudden and brief uplift, a release. When I’m processing an upset, I use this release to show me that I’m getting closer to […]
Introduction to the Constructed Self (Download)
Here comes a detailed look at the constructed self that we fashion to present and manage our image, to look good and sound right. The invitation is to come out from behind the image and be who we really are.

On the Self Serving Bias (Download)
I’ve put together a booklet of essays on the self-serving bias. If you haven’t familiarized yourself with the concept and are planning to run a large corporation after the Reval, this is one you may want to have a look at. Download a copy of On the Self-Serving Bias here: https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/On-the-Self-Serving-Bias-2.pdf Introduction It seems to […]
What Lies on the Other Side of Self-Servingness?
I use my awareness to uncover the truth. Uncovering the truth in turn elevates my awareness. I’ve worked my way through ever subtler layers of egoic personality. My awareness now falls on individual words I’m using, which, I’m finding, are subtly self-serving. I go through life living events, but then constructing a self-serving story or […]
Not Another Lifetime of Perpetual Reactivity and Unrealized Potential
Having committed to the divine qualities, as a way of anchoring myself in them, what next confronts me are the reaction patterns that vasanas (core issues, early childhood trauma) give rise to. Up till now, I’ve been mainly concerned with my vasanas, and not with the automatic reaction patterns they give rise to. Commitment does […]
Standing on the Mountain Top – Part 1/2
I read a passage from the Mother and it unleashed a vasana (or core issue) which I’m still in the midst of processing. Naturally I ran for the computer. The passage from the Mother was this: “You are already ‘in and out’ of the fulfillment of your ascension. “[What] is the final watermark? It is […]
Trading in the Old Paradigm of Right/Wrong – Part 1/3
The Mother said something at the beginning of the year that only becomes more relevant with the passage of time: “This sense that one is right, and one is wrong, that one is correct, and one is incorrect… I am bringing you, I am bringing this planet into the place of unity consciousness, into the […]
From Woke to Awakened
I watch the mainstream media do with this generation of lightworkers what it did with my generation’s Growth Movement and I’m sad. They intentionally misconstrued the aims of our movement and ridiculed us as “the Me Generation.” That derogatory term signified everything we’ve come to think of as self-serving, narcissistic, etc. In fact, as I […]
The Truth will Set You Free and It won’t Buy You a Cup of Coffee
A wonderful example of the self-serving bias. (1) A picture is worth a thousand words. I said earlier that every society needs honest witnesses to the truth. (2) To be one, we have to put the truth ahead of all other considerations. Social convention and diplomacy often work against that commitment. Watch a speaker turn […]
Happy, Loving, and Blissful
I’m waiting for the other Presidential shoe to drop and, while I do, using the Mother’s Pause to go deeper and deeper inside. And get clearer on some matters. Here’s one. I think the vast majority of people would be very satisfied if they were happy. I think a smaller section of people would be […]
The End of the Road
On Nov. 7, 2020, the Divine Mother gave us our mission: “This Pause gives you the time, the critical time, to go deeply within your heart and truly examine what lies there. This Pause that I give you gives the time to be the observer. You have done the participant; now be the observer and […]
