Toward a World that Works for Everyone
From a life of observation, as you know, I’ve reached the conclusion that how we feel is what’s most important to human beings. Everything seems to get channeled through the filter of “how do we feel about it?” We go to Hawaii and rent a room over Waikiki for that magic moment. What does that […]
I can’t say that calm has entirely returned. I still feel shell-shocked and traumatized by everything that’s happened. But I’m more interested in discussing some of the growth and learning. The other things will diminish and fade out of memory, with me quicker than with many others! I’ve been cut down to size in some […]
Download a copy of How to Process a Number One Upset here: https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/How-to-Process-a-Number-One-Upset-R13.pdf. Because there are unresolved, ongoing security risks, this vasana, most likely, will not subside the way others have. One side of me wants it to subside. The other side is asking me to stay awake to it because of the risks involved. […]
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.) I had such a classic example of old programming going off this morning, exactly as I was working on this article. I have to relate it here. A friend phoned earlyish in the morning and asked me a favor which was at the limits of inconvenience. I said “no,” but […]
I’d like to make a distinction between objective fact and subjective interpretation. The worst I ever did was steal a chocolate bar. OK, a tin of rock candy too. For both of which I was caught and disciplined. That’s an objective fact. Apart from those cries for help (my father was hitting my mother), I […]
May 26, 2021 How easily happiness begins by dicing onions… It’ true it can make you weep to peel them… for there’s nothing to an onion but skin, and it’s true you can go on weeping as you go on in… ~William Matthews, Onions Sometimes I worry about what would happen if I’m suddenly […]
March 19, 2021 Fierce-throated beauty! Roll through my chant with all thy lawless music, thy swinging lamps at night, Thy madly-whistled laughter… Thy trills of shrieks by rocks and hills return’d, Launch’d o’er the prairies wide, across the lakes, To the free skies unpent and glad and strong. ~Walt Whitman, To a Locomotive in Winter […]
I’m always pleasantly surprised when someone writes in and says that troll article really resonated with me; I don’t think I’d call mine a troll, but waking up to a low emotional baseline I can relate to. Heavens, I write awareness/stream of consciousness in the hope beyond hope that it resonates with others and helps […]
(email) There is no justification for pain, abuse, or cruelty. For those who are witnesses of personal or global atrocity, we help reverse the karmic cycle by blessing those who hurt others, as well those who have been hurt, instead of condemning the actions of the emotionally broken. Condemning the unconscious actions of perpetrators doesn’t […]
(email) Your most impenetrable insights often come at the brink of despair. During moments of raw pain when your coping skills have vanished and all inner direction spins as the world you once knew seems to have left you heartbroken, lonely and disappointed– a time when you might not even be the most welcome guest […]
(email) For the majority of 2020, humanity has been steeped in a collective dark night of the soul phase of accelerated healing. This crucial phase is used to shift from the mind-based identity of a dissolving 3D paradigm and into a heart-based identity of an awakening 5D consciousness. Although heartbreaking to witness and experience, the […]
(email) It is common for life’s most hurtful and aggressive reactions to stem from some form of disappointment. When we’re disappointed, a condition of expectation leads us to resent another person for not measuring up to an imagined standard we need the other to hold in order to feel whole. While it can seem as […]
It’s said that no plan survives the first ten minutes of war. When the Reval hits, I predict that there’ll be a war going on within ourselves that many of our plans will not survive. We’ll now find ourselves in the territory called “I don’t have to stand for that any more.” Entitlement may run […]
(Originally published JULY 21, 2018) John Pavlovitz, https://tinyurl.com/y5tc85rq It’s exhausting to give a damn isn’t it? To be a person of compassion in a time when compassion is in such great demand? To wake up every day in days like these, and push back against predatory politicians and toxic systems and human rights atrocities and […]
