Growing up under a parent who served in the Second World War offered its challenges to me. Discipline was the back of the hand. I may as well have been in boot camp. I was a lazy no-good good-for-nothing because I liked to read rather than swim and golf and play tennis. At this very […]
How Do We Handle Depravity? – Part 3/3
(Concluded from Part 2, yesterday.) Weathering the Storm Meanwhile, we have to weather the storm before discussing how to live at the experiential level. We’ve got to get through the emergency first. To do that, we need to release, express, give voice to our feelings. Scream into a pillow, write stream-of-consciousness, share with a […]
Me and My Higher Self
I lost my shoulder bag yesterday and was despondent and disappointed. So long as I was emotionally down, I wasn’t available to my mission. I was despondent because I had once again lost something with mission relevance: My driver’s license was in it; that had me worry about identity theft. At the same time I […]
Set in His Ways? Must be His Cast of Mind
What is my cast of mind? I follow the path of awareness, as you know. The basic agreement is to remain aware of yourself and to share your awareness, responsibly and truthfully, with others. That’s a good part of what I do here: Go up with everyone else and share my Ascension journey. Michael calls […]
How do I Feel after the Storm Subsides?
Well, no, not this! This is the storm. My experience of dismay continues. (1) As I remained with it and interacted with other people, I noticed a companion feeling to dismay and that was one of dread. Boy, are deep-seated matters coming up now or what? I have a dentist appointment at 3:30 today and […]
Bent Twigs Incline Trees
When I look back on the differences between my father’s WWII generation and my own, their Depression and then their war experiences seem to have colored their demeanor. Disciplined, cooperative, focused on a goal that everyone could get behind, they loved nothing more than to get together after work and cajole and reminisce. They swaggered […]
So Ready to Give Up My Story
I’m standing back and observing myself; specifically, how I always come out on top in my own story? A hero in my own write? A never-ending story? Like a little ant, building a wall tiny pebble by pebble, I build the ongoing story of my life and it may or may not resemble true-life events […]
My Relationship to Anger is Changing
As the love energies increase on the planet, my relationship to anger is changing. The background is that my Dad shouted at me from inches in front of my face at age 7. My personality shattered. That bent the twig and the tree inclined in the direction of dissociation – for another 50 years – […]
Therein Lies the Work
If the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court went forward in time to this age, what would he see? Well, first of all, he wouldn’t travel to King Arthur’s court; he’d be surfing the Internet. And his liege lord, Arthur, wouldn’t be worrying about his wife running off with his chief knight. The current ruler […]
Breaking the Self-Serving Cycle
Long. A little technical, maybe complicated. I’m OK if you skip it and go on to the next article. As living, breathing beings, while in human form (as opposed to angelic form), (1) in my view, we create ourselves. Some people call what we create a “personality” or an “ego.” (“Ego” means “I.”) I think […]
Being a Maestro, an Orchestra Leader
I think it amazing the amount and depth of clearing that’s happening – for me right now – I assume it’s general. I’m usually a weather vane. Things 20-30 years old are coming up, with force. The only thing I can do when a sleeping volcano erupts is to make it short and hopefully scream […]
Carving or Releasing a Form?
Imagine you’re a sculptor. Are you carving a form out of marble? Or are you releasing a form from the marble that obscures it? If we were talking about spiritual unfoldment, would it not be the latter? The spirit is already in form. The spirit is “driving” the body, looking out through the eyes, operating […]
Is Time Running Out?
Anger is up for me right now, anger that has been suppressed for decades, that my Universal Self and Michael, I imagine, feel it’s now time for me to tackle. I can’t take this anger with me into the work I’ll be doing. And if I don’t get to the bottom of it now and […]
Transcending the Ego
Let me continue with this line of speculation. (1) In the game of life that the Creator set up, (2) it doesn’t seem to be enough to change our vote (3) at the intellectual level. It may or may not be enough to change it at the experiential level. It may await realization. (4) I […]
The Truth is Beyond Comparison
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 […]
