Toward a World that Works for Everyone
We live in a world in which many leaders have asked to have the police defunded, spread a pandemic among its citizens, torn down their own borders, launched a vaccine that’s killing countless numbers, trades in exploited children, runs our currencies into the ground, launders money to each other, and orchestrates revolutions and wars all […]
I keep reading articles on freedom of speech that fail to see that it’s a limited right. Just a few minutes ago, I listened to a popular conservative commentator say, “I’m a free speech absolutist.” But free speech itself is not absolute, by its very nature. Protecting one person’s free speech may mean curtailing […]
From the Universal Law of Transmutation with Sanat Kumara: A caller into the radio show: I followed one of the meditations and the terms that came up were: Dream Keeper and Vision Keeper which sound really exciting. How do I figure out what does that mean? How do I go forward with those ideas […]
I’ve always been aware of a martial strain in myself. In fact I’d guess that the low-level, kick-and-slap violence I experienced from my father was designed to keep that past-life ingredient simmering. As each day passes and I watch the destruction in the world – successive train derailments is a good example – all […]
A World Economic Forum “advisor” said at a recent meeting: “Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design. Not the intelligent design of some god above the clouds. But our intelligent design. … “The IBM Cloud, the Microsoft Cloud are the new driving forces of evolution. “Today we have […]
United Church moderator Carmen Lansdowne on why the hope of the Resurrection should spur us to envision a more just reality By Carmen Lansdowne, Broadview, April 4, 2022 https://broadview.org/carmen-lansdowne-easter-message/ It’s a beautiful time to be changing the world. “What’s that?” you say. “Things are terrible!” And yes, there are shifting geopolitics — Russia’s war on […]
I mentioned some time ago how the Company of Heaven can give us a transformational experience, such as the recollection of a past-life experience (in my case, as a military commander) or an enlightenment experience (such as the heart opening or sight of the Self) and raise us up a level, as Michael phrases it. […]
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 […]
It’s probably been some time since western societies knew the phenomenon of adult children living at home. But more and more kids are these days. How did things change? I watched it happen. “We” automated the work force, as was predicted in 1950s television. (1) Only whereas TV predicted automation would be a labor-saving device, […]
Steve: Xenia is the retreat center at which I experienced the sight of the Self. (1) Xenia on Bowen Island, British Columbia, was created out of a vision for children to feel safe to be creative. All children, including the magical child within you. We are born into this world with a seed, a gift awaiting […]
These settlers are going beyond orange shirts and land acknowledgments. Land Back is an Indigenous-led movement to reclaim traditional lands for Indigenous stewardship. By Sarah Treleaven, Broadview, November 8, 2022 Last June, Margaret Drescher prepared herself to finally pass along Windhorse Farm, a beloved retreat deep in the forest about an hour-and-a-half drive west of Halifax. […]
Monica Smit reports from a conference of leading health activists, in Austria. She discusses the general response to the Global Walkout and what’s next. Monica is showing the relative ease with which a mass movement can be built using the Internet. If she pours on the steam and keeps up the momentum, I wouldn’t be […]
I don’t think anyone knows what might be possible with real unity around the world. The world has never seen it, to the best of my knowledge. Even during World War II, the so-called Allies were all serving their own agendas. (1) They maintained a pretense of unity until the day the war ended. […]
I’ll tell you what I’m looking for from the events of these historic days. Not mere patriotism. I grant that, when you’re fighting for the nation’s life, patriotism is a tremendous survival skill. However, unfortunately, patriotism is inextricably rooted in us-against-them. And that isn’t an adequate basis on which to stop the endless carousel of […]
