Toward a World that Works for Everyone
In a few articles, I’d like to explore the notion that we are all One because I believe it to be the bedrock, the foundation for all of us drawing together and building Nova Earth. This topic, which cannot be explored without also exploring the topic of the purpose of life, goes beyond simply building […]
I’ve been working with Michael on a matter that involved drawing the love up from my heart and sending it out to the world. I’d neglected this practice in recent times. After months of dryness, I was again feeling higher-dimensional, transformative, real love. No sooner was I doing so than I again feel impelled to […]
Speaking of “from the bottom of my heart,” I’d like to thank everyone who wrote in with loving messages while I was in hospital – from the bottom of mine. I was deeply touched. Now for something completely different…. Do we ever think about the derivation of common phrases, such as “from the bottom of […]
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 […]
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). […]
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 […]
