Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I referred the other day to “courts of standing with officials of integrity, giving just and unbiased decisions.” (1) Unbiased decisions? Give me a break. The lawfare we’ve watched recently has made a mockery of the words. But, yes, there are ways to work with bias. Let me look at that for a moment […]
When I retire from retirement, I’ll get up some of the passages from ten years of readings with Michael that I haven’t been able to get at yet. Or when I can employ a staff of spiritual researchers. The knowledge that they and the Mother have to convey is to me a treasure. Here’s one […]
I just had a friend write me and say how do you remain so positive? It’s a good question. I have a great deal of lower-back pain that makes movement difficult. I’m not doing so well myself. Consequently, I’m not sure what I can tell you! But let me explore it with you. [Flash of […]
In terms of personal cleansing, my situation continues to be remarkable for me in that, from a hermit’s enjoyment of stillness and silence, I find myself being nudged out of my cave still further. The number of important (to me) decisions I need to make continues to increase. The world is pressing in. Last night, […]
What is integrity anyways? We talk about integrity in journalism. No good just throwing words around. What is that quality? Well, first of all, in my view, integrity is adherence to the truth. Ranged against adherence to the truth are a fear for one’s life, fear of a loss of livelihood, pressure from others, etc. […]
I actually don’t want to talk about Trump and Biden supporters, right or left. But I do want to talk about what I call the “honest center.” In any rally there’ll be that group of decent people. They’ll be sincere, concerned enough to protest, and yet all the while straightforward in their relations with other […]
Accountabilty Will rape allegations change Australia’s ‘toxic’ politics? Shaimaa Khalil, BBC, 10 March 2021 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-56342255) “In my time working in this area and particularly looking in workplaces over the [past] 30 years, I’ve never seen any moment like this,” said Kate Jenkins, Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner. Ms Jenkins was describing the extraordinary moment Australian politics […]
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 […]
By Brakkton Booker, NPR, October 13th, 2020 https://www.npr.org/2020/10/13/923233877/princeton-university-agrees-to-nearly-1-million-in-back-pay-to-female-professors One of the nation’s most prestigious universities has agreed to pay nearly $1 million in back pay to female professors following allegations of pay discrimination. The Ivy League university will pay $925,000 in back pay and at least $250,000 in future wages, as part of an agreement […]
I know that, at my deepest level, I am pure and innocent. (1) But between here and there is a layer of barely-suppressed hostility – suspicion, guardedness, aggressiveness. Part of that, I believe, is past-life bleedthrough. I was a military commander a long time ago. I see the jarring events of my early life as […]
It seems that sometimes our experiences are more clearly understood with the passage of time. The clearing of my “humiliation thread” or vasana (core issue) was super-painful. But more about it is becoming available several days later. I now find that even the smallest infraction of the rules brings with it an experience of humiliation. […]
