Toward a World that Works for Everyone
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. […]
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 […]
(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 […]
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 – […]
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 […]
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 […]
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? (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? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
In the course of other research, I came across this discussion with Archangel Michael from late 2017. It answers my question, what lies beyond the planetary heart opening, which is happening gradually as we speak? His reply was very informative. I’m not completely sure if he was talking to me only or to all of […]
Everything about me that could be called a “personality” or a “character” I create. And I have to create it again and again, daily, hourly, because if I don’t create it, to all effects, it isn’t there. There are things that I was emphasizing yesterday which I’m not emphasizing today. This is a good time […]
