Toward a World that Works for Everyone
My deficiencies appear to be arising as the love energies also rise. At the moment, I’m comparing myself (unfavorably) to sociable people and, the grass being always greener on the other side, bemoaning my lack of skills in the area. If I’d chosen to be more socially inclined, my career path would have been a […]
I’ve pestered Wes Annac to start channeling again. He says he’s considering it and, in the meantime, sends us a welcome article from his blog, Openhearted Rebellion. Beautifully said, Wes. How Can We Become More Emotionally Mature? Wes Annac, Openhearted Rebellion, January 3, 2023 How Can We Become More Emotionally Mature? I consider emotional maturity to […]
For whatever reason I now experience there being space between something happening and my response. I’m no longer automatically reacting. I seem to have more room in myself, less craziness. That could be because I’m more at peace and so not as much driven by vasanas (core issues) and the automatic response patterns they give […]
We’re on a journey of Ascension at this moment and the last thing I personally want to do is to make that journey outside conscious awareness – “in a fit of unconsciousness,” as some wag put it. No, I may not run a spaceship. But I run the good ship I Am. I’m monarch over […]
A vasana or core issue is like an endless hunger. No matter how much we feed it, it persists and wants more of our energy. I get weary just thinking about it. Nonetheless, it’s also true to say that every vasana has a silver lining. When we get over a vasana, we may find that […]
I’d like to take a very simple example of dawning awareness and use it to illustrate the levels of knowledge (intellectual – experiential – realizational). I had the awareness dawn earlier today that I can’t change a person’s behavior; the most I can do is model the alternative. No big deal unto itself, but it’s […]
Our loving thoughts are with the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Further to our conversation in “Past-Life Connection,” (1) I took another step today in what I call “emergence.” (2) Emergence for me means to step forth or stand forth from our limitations, our vasanas as a class of phenomena, our feelings […]
When I was dissociated, from age 7 to 58, I was … how can I describe it? … hardly a person. Or maybe barely a person is more accurate. I barely held it together. I barely passed. I’d metaphorically catch my breath, panting, after a social engagement because I was so self-conscious and working so […]
We probably could not be heard above the din of clashing ideologies and other forces happening around us and in distant places. I’m not sure about you, but it’s like an open invitation to me to grow quiet, turn inward, and listen. And here’s what I hear. Who was the sage who said “I have […]
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 […]
I’m about to lay down Theorem No. 10. How should I phrase it? Confidence varies directly proportional to forgiveness. (1) I say that after enjoying a reading from Kathleen in which she made available to me a second opportunity to forgive my father for domestic violence. (2) I took it and enjoyed the release it […]
With thanks to Rosa. January 23, 2023 https://www.innerbonding.com/show-article/4926/welcoming-our-disowned-parts.html Our wounded parts heal with love and truth, not with being disowned. Trying to get rid of your wounded self will keep you stuck in your wounded self. “I just want to get rid of the part of me that gets angry so easily.” “I hate the […]
Another personality element that I have to draw on in building is experience as a military commander many centuries ago. Some of the skills are exportable; some not. The sense of reliance upon the group and of being powerless without their assistance is exportable. A sense of the need for sound and stable leadership towards […]
The movie, Unsinkable, which had a free showing recently, was a toolbox of approaches to core issues – what I call vasanas – the karmic seeds of future action. (1) I noticed one place where our approaches differ. Unsinkable would have us change our thought patterns. I’ve only dabbled with that approach recently. Previously my […]

They are shifting the narrative surrounding grief, turning negative emotions into strength and opportunities for growth, listening to each other.
