Credit: workwithrebbie.wordpress.com Prescheduled. Steve is recovering from surgery at the moment. “Nothing matters any more,” said the man I passed in the hospital hall, who called himself an “alcoholic.” “I’m going to drink and smoke till I die.” And here I am almost bursting, saying to myself, “Life has a purpose. There is a meaning […]
The Grand Experiment
I mentioned earlier that, after the terrific scare of the first few days, when it was thought I had a resistant strain of superbug and I agreed mentally to rest (OK, OK, I got it!), the prognoses have been falling ever since. Now instead of MRSA (resistant to antibiotics) I have MSSA (treatable by them). […]
In the Beginning was the Stillness
I joked to a friend that she was the quintessential female (action) and I was the quintessential male (stillness). And as I did so, I realized: I aspire to stillness. And I notice – because I’m using my awareness and my heart to penetrate into stillness – that stillness is prior to the divine qualities. […]
Strength as a State of Consciousness
I was meditating this evening and the ego, to distract me from stillpoint, threw up some memories of my time studying karate. Those were days when I felt my strength. And the thought crossed my mind: Can a person feel strong aside from the trappings of things like karate? Did Tank Man step in front […]
My Life is Mine to Create – Part 2/2 (2017)
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Written in the midst of a spiritual experience Meanwhile, everything we do together as a collective is a carefully-scripted drama, in which we have the right to depart from our agreed-upon lines. Well, now that I’m free of thinking that what I do or do not do matters, the question […]
My Life is Mine to Create – Part 1/2 (2017)
I’m expanding and revising five or six books at once, getting ready for the demand for information I anticipate, following the announcement of the delegations or the Reval. And as I run through articles for inclusion in the expanded editions, I’m coming across some that I can’t not repost. This is one of them – […]
An Introduction to Detachment
I was working one minute and in the midst of a spiritual experience the next. I’ve had a few like this in past years. (1) This time I’m being shown what “detachment” feels like. As in the other experiences, this mood just “came upon me” as I worked. But I recognized it before it departed […]
What is the Significance of the Spiritual Spiral?
I’ve been asked to explain in more detail my fascination with the Nautilus or Ammonite (closely related, structurally similar). I’d love to. The symbol means something very special to me. I’ve described at length the vision I had on February 13, 1987. (1) Let me leave that for you to look at. But presupposing that […]
Quite a Ways Down the Road
Sages for millennia have called the Creator, Preserver and Transformer of the world of matter (mater, Mother) the Divine Mother. Here’s Lao Tzu for instance: “Nameless indeed is the source of creation [the Father], But things have a mother and she has a name.” (1) And Sri Yukestwar Giri, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda: “‘It is […]
What Questions Would a Cross-Cultural Spirituality Answer?
What questions would a cross-cultural spirituality answer? (1) It would answer the following: (1) Who is asking? What is a human being? Are human beings only to be found on Earth? (2) How did human beings originate? How did life originate? And is there an Originator? (3) Did the creation of life serve a purpose? […]
I Do Know the Address
Yesterday I found my stash of Paramahansa Yogananda Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) monthly lessons from decades ago. I now have access again to the documents which are the source of the equation of “Om” with the “Holy Spirit.” Each of these fundamental statements is of immense value to the spiritual student. To me, they’re like a […]
A Puzzle Wrapped Inside an Enigma
I’m going through my readings to find insights into leadership and constantly turning up gems from Michael. In this short piece, he tells me I’ll find the key to the Mother’s Plan in my heart and urges me to explore more deeply. I’ve never worked for a more encouraging boss. To me, the Mother’s Plan […]
After the Event: Archangel Michael Discusses a Heart Opening
In rummaging through my files for a quote on “drama,” I happened instead on this remarkable interview I had with Archangel Michael the very day of my 2015 heart opening. Since we as a planet are going through a more gradual version of one, what Michael has to say here must surely be of interest. […]
When is the Wounded Child in the Driver’s Seat?
Whenever I feel guilt or shame or dismay, I can say with certainty that my Wounded Child is in the driver’s seat. I can say this with certainty because of what I saw and felt in a meditation I did at Xenia Retreat Center on Sept. 18, 2018. I saw the Self in the depths […]
What We Call Ascension
My original assignment was to go up with everyone else, passing from Ascension milestone to Ascension milestone – and write about it. I regard what I write as an Ascension ethnography, warts and all, to be read by other civilizations planning their own Ascensions. As Sanat suggested back in 2011: “What takes place here, of […]
