I’d like to leave memes behind for the moment and look more deeply at the worldview we call “patriarchy.” Patriarchy is one of a number of perspectives that arise from egocentrism – the view that “I” am what’s most important in any one situation. Ethnocentrism, temperocentrism, and anthropocentrism are examples of its extensions into ethnic […]
The Right Use of Will
The recent health challenge that I went through was extremely painful when it was happening. Let me stop there. TMI, TMI. (1) It had numerous effects on me. Don’t forget I had pain from my chest area already and then additional pain from my abdomen. And somehow pain drains the energy away. For whatever reason, […]
Laying Bare the Love Beneath It
I’ve been recuperating from a fall in which I bruised a rib. Because the bruise was so painful, I didn’t do anything that would engage the hurting muscle. Well, going to the bathroom did and so I dispensed with it. Seven days later I’m well and truly constipated. I don’t know which is worse. A […]
Taking a Stand for the Rule of Law
It isn’t just Rep. Cummings that stirred my heart last week. (1) It was also the stands that two Canadian Members of Parliament and one provincial civil servant have taken towards maintaining respect for the rule of law. I have to say I don’t follow Canadian politics any more than I do any other country’s. […]
Is Climate Change a Global Disaster?
So much has been made of climate change. Is what’s currently being said true, according to the channeled messages I read? No, apparently, it’s not. What’s actually happening, as Matthew Ward alleges, is that all the events indicating climate change are in effect “leading to a moderate climate globally.” (1) Let’s subtract all the disastrous […]
Will California Sink Beneath the Waves?
Recently some controversy has arisen around whether California will slide under the waves as in the movie 2012. Or Florida. Or other coastal regions. My sources in the matter are what I regard as credible channeled messages, predominantly from Matthew Ward and SaLuSa and Mike Quinsey’s current source. (1) What they say is that the […]
Rep. Elijah Cumming: “We Are Better than This”
Rep. Elijah Cummings has made one of the most stirring, inspiring, and sensible commentaries following testimony that points to a pattern of … well, how can I avoid saying it? … criminal activity on President Trump’s part. Before turning to that, I’ve heard very few politicians who could reach the places that Cummings reaches – […]
Red Badge of Courage: I am a Conspiracy Theorist – 2
See also “I am a Conspiracy Theorist – 1,” March 17, 2018, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2018/03/17/i-am-a-conspiracy-theorist/ I am a conspiracy theorist. Or should I gussy it up and say I am a conspiracy theoretician? You know. Physics theoretician. Mathematics theoretician. Conspiracy theoretician. Or should I say a truther? I am a theorist. I think that whenever one […]
OK to Go, OK to Stay: Life will Go On
I was talking to a man who, Michael tells me, is preparing to leave this world. I’ve never talked to someone I know to be in that situation before. He seems torn. He feels dutybound to stay but he’s tired and wants to leave. So he’s in cognitive dissonance, torn this way and that. The […]
Write as You Speak
The secret of pleasing and comprehensible writing? In my view, it’s writing as you speak. Let’s not talk about content here, but process only for a moment. You speak to yourself at times, do you not? A little less than constantly, right? Like me? Write as you speak. You’re used to speaking to yourself. Now […]
Our Third-Dimensional Chakra System Falls Away
I wonder how many people would agree with me if I said that the chakra system as we know it is a third-dimensional apparatus, that falls away eventually. Here’s Da Free John reporting the phenomenon. “In February I passed through an experience that seemed to vindicate my understanding. … I saw that what appeared as […]
The Spirit-Body Complex
The relationships among the soul, the spirit, the mind, and the body are complicated. Vipassana meditation master S.N. Goenka used to speak about the “mind-body complex” and a “complex” it is. By “spirit” I mean the etheric or astral occupant of the body, which I experienced in 1977 in an out-of-body experience. But what I […]
A Primer on the Black Art of “Deep Fakes”
“We’re entering an era in which anyone can make it look like anyone is saying anything at any time,” said President Obama. Or did he? The technology of “deep fakes” means that we might want to question anything that seems unbelievable or conclusive or shocking to us because it just may be unbelievable. One video […]
Affirmative Action
I want to go on record as favoring affirmative action. I personally am involved in affirmative-action initiatives to close the disparity gap between women and men. My mother was a victim of spousal abuse. I became a gender-issues refugee adjudicator, sitting on claims, among other things, of spousal abuse. The blog serves the resurgence of […]
