On the one hand, I’m reading about arrests and weather warfare and the WEF wanting to replace elections with AI, etc. On the other hand, I find myself going deeper and deeper into myself. Paradox. However the draw is unmistakable. As an awareness writer, I guess I should talk about the process, as I observe […]
I Need to Know How You Feel
I shudder when I think of all the years I spent in the cycle of conflict, not knowing how to get out of whatever situation I was in. I had no idea where the exit door was. I was going mad going round and round the same circle day after day. Even now I […]
Why This Need to Feel Special?
Oh my gawd…. In the course of practising stepping aside, I noticed that, when I the observer, stepped aside, the ego arose. And always it was the same refrain: I am special. I am special. When I ask for the origins, following the upset clearing process, (1) I see myself in the crib, one […]
I Gave My Word
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 […]
Now I Really Feel Free
I’m watching charges and counter-charges fly on the political scene, threats and counter-threats. The biggest is: The President threatens to pack the Supreme Court. The Court responds by taking on a case that could unseat the President and Congress. All is up in the air. As a student of awareness, I’m watching the impact on […]
What Lies on the Other Side of Self-Servingness?
I use my awareness to uncover the truth. Uncovering the truth in turn elevates my awareness. I’ve worked my way through ever subtler layers of egoic personality. My awareness now falls on individual words I’m using, which, I’m finding, are subtly self-serving. I go through life living events, but then constructing a self-serving story or […]
Anchoring to a Useful Value
Download here: On the Divine Qualities at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/On-the-Divine-Qualities-2.pdf. If we anchor our identity to how we look, the first signs of cellulite, saggy muscles, or white hairs can be a crisis. If at 75 one is still anchoring to one’s looks, one can cut a pretty pathetic figure. In between the two, our lives pass. […]
Feelings in the Driver’s Seat
I’m watching the way I behave at the moment. I felt a touch of despondency, I believe related to the feeling in the morning of beginning the ball game again. Put on my uniform, step up to the plate…. The interesting thing was that I watched myself begin to respond to life from that despondency. […]
Standing on the Mountain Top – Part 1/2
I read a passage from the Mother and it unleashed a vasana (or core issue) which I’m still in the midst of processing. Naturally I ran for the computer. The passage from the Mother was this: “You are already ‘in and out’ of the fulfillment of your ascension. “[What] is the final watermark? It is […]
Standing on the Mountain Top – Part 2/2
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) The vasana is a gigantic GRRRRR! to all the opposition I met along the way – opposition to doing what I’m happily doing right now. Why can’t we be allowed to do what we love and be financially supported? (Just wait for the Reval!) But then I realized that, without […]
Ascension is like Changing the Channel
I am a day closer to reunion with God. By “Ascension,” I don’t mean to suggest we’re going anywhere. The nearest physical comparison is to say we’d be changing channels on the TV. Just as all television signals are simultaneously in the room I’m sitting in, so are all dimensions. They co-exist in the same […]
We Talk Little about What’s Most Important to Us: How We Feel
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 […]
Trading in the Old Paradigm of Right/Wrong – Part 1/3
The Mother said something at the beginning of the year that only becomes more relevant with the passage of time: “This sense that one is right, and one is wrong, that one is correct, and one is incorrect… I am bringing you, I am bringing this planet into the place of unity consciousness, into the […]
Rumi: The Guest House – Part 1/2
The Guest House Jalaluddin Rumi Translated by Coleman Barks (https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/guest-house/) This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of […]
Not Out of the Woods
I’ve been walking around triggering myself for a while now. And if I walk the trigger back, I find that I’m disappointed in myself (Mother). I’m disappointed because I reacted to some forgotten thought with irritation, anger, aggressiveness, or some negative attitude (Father). I have my Father and Mother endlessly arguing in my head. The […]
