Toward a World that Works for Everyone
In the course of writing this article about emergence, I myself emerged. Emergence is an ongoing process and one I regard as best adapted to lightworkers’ needs. The books I wrote on emergence (1) came largely out of the work I did in the growth movement. (2) The mainstream media did character assassinations back in […]
Good on ya, mate! (Concluded from Part 1, above.) I feel more solid, more certain. [I’m well into the process by now.] I laugh when I think of a comment that Michael made: Archangel Michael: Yes. Dear heart, you are a cement, marble, granite pillar. (1) OK, I get it. “Marble” and “granite” don’t relate […]
I’ve just had a conversation with someone whose son is having emotional difficulties. I don’t want to go into details because (A) I don’t want to identify the person and (B) I don’t want to create an impression that I somehow have credentials to be dispensing advice. We all contribute what we have. Mine is […]
The barrier, in a society structured as ours is, in all good efforts, money. Funding. How to pay our way in the world while we initiate something new, something that requires venture capital, something that requires major funding in a time of calculated economic downturn and social demoralization. The third volume in the series Let’s […]
Rebuilding our cultural foundations What’s happening? With the passing of the New Year and no Reval, I’ve passed the limits of my own waiting for things to change. (1) The blessings we’re waiting for will come as and when they do. I can only live on adrenalin for so long. Instead, I’m beginning in on […]
Long and reflective. A lot of interesting conversations going on backstage, stirred up by Matthew’s last message. One piece of feedback that arose was that I’m being too intellectual in trying to understand spiritual states. While we’re all recovering from the holidays, maybe it’s a good time to push back the chair and reflect. And […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) A word about awareness and “getting in touch with” something. In a three-month residential encounter group I did in 1975-6, even critics who were habitually driven to point out blemishes “got in touch with” what was driving them And it turned out they were just like everyone else except starved […]
A New York psychologist once discussed what he called “reality suction.” What he meant by that is that each of us is trying to suck the other into our own reality. I have reality suction going on with a young millennial friend whom I’m busily trying to suck into my reality even as she is […]
There exists a spectrum to how spiritual evolution is accomplished. At one end is what can be purely called “spirituality”; at the other, what can be purely called “growth.” What’s the difference between the two as terrestrials practiced them? Well, of course, everyone will have their own opinion and that’s as it should be. In […]
https://tinyurl.com/yc48pwul My dear friend of thirty years, Bob Beale, died a few days ago. Some of you knew him as one of the early ACIM supporters, some of you knew of him as an amazing business consultant and author, and many of my close friends knew of him from me–because I spoke so often of […]
No sooner did I write these words yesterday: “We are assembling and speaking out, writing and filming. All it will take is one galvanizing event and I think we’ll respond as a world.” than I flashed on the most galvanizing event in my life. This was for me a lived-through experience so I know what […]
I suggested earlier that we all help the planet out and voluntarily quarantine ourselves for two weeks. (1) Well, here we all are, voluntarily and involuntarily quarantined, in a laboratory experiment in isolation and social distancing. You’re free for the evening, right? Humor me then. Let’s pretend we’re sociology students. I’m exploring what the impact […]

On a Monday afternoon in late fall of 2018, a group of 30 or so adults in various interpretations of business-casual sat in neat […]
On the awareness path of the growth movement in the Seventies, we’d talk a lot about “pushing your edge.” If we were going to grow, we had to rid ourselves of our unwanted baggage. We had to follow some form of cleansing or purifying process. And for us that often meant to “own” something. To […]
