Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Up till now, I’ve been using the phrases “change of mind” and “change of vote” interchangeably. But the more I observe myself, the more I see it’s more useful to distinguish between them. I have to back up a bit to illustrate the difference between them. I remind you of how things appeared to me […]
I just came across this passage from a 2012 reading, two days after writing this article, which rang such a bell for me in light of what’s discussed here: “Another measure, my beloved ones, is to do with your mental acuity, including interest in things of the mental body – and, dear Steve, you have […]
I’m just back from Vancouver’s first Connecting Consciousness potluck. (1) Wonderful being around people who knew what I was talking about. I’d forgotten what it was like to have a social conversation that had depth. And of course it got all my impatience surging again. Where is the Reval? Why can’t we get to work? […]
I’m buoyed up to hear how much time Patricia Cota-Robles gave to purification because, for me, that yields the most welcome and beneficial results among things I can do while waiting for Godot. On the awareness path, what that waiting means is to watch and pay particular attention to things that are taking me in […]
When I think of Ascension as a journey up a mountain, I weep. Because for me, that’s how it’s seemed. I could have said pulling myself out of a swamp. Or crossing a desert. These are just images, but I feel so tired looking at the journey from this vantage point. It’s been a long […]
Clearly my personality survives intact in some way, shape or form. I don’t know what the road ahead holds. I can only report. What I report now arises from my practice, on the path of awareness, of maintaining awareness of myself. I detected a pattern. I was people-pleasing. I was complimenting someone on a coat […]
Here’s another consequence of having changed my vote from hostility to harmony. There’s now an open road in front of me in terms of the experience of love. In 1987, a week before the vision, I had a full breath release in a rebirthing workshop. I was at that moment totally cleaned out. I feel […]
I continue to observe the changes within me. Concurrent with feeling happiness for virtually the first time in my life – within memory – the other day, I also notice that I’m wandering around without something. I was repositioning a picture and, having accomplished something, I found myself waiting for the spoilers to come along […]
Time for something completely different. It took me years and years to realize that what was making me mad was not the person standing in front of me but a person who stood in front of me decades and decades ago. On that occasion years ago I reached a conclusion about life and a decision […]
Sometimes it seems to me that we have many selves. Maybe innumerable selves, I don’t know. Buddhists talk about hungry mind and grasping mind. The self or mind that I just noticed – and that I’m a virtual stranger to – I think of as the caring mind. I was in the middle of moaning […]
I just realized that I serve no earthly master. I serve my heavenly master, Archangel Michael, and, behind him, the Source of All, the Divine Mother/Father God. But I mean I realized it. Not just experienced it or had a good thought about it. I just want to sit with that. I want to get […]
