Long and reflective. A lot of interesting conversations going on backstage, stirred up by Matthew’s last message. One piece of feedback that arose was that I’m being too intellectual in trying to understand spiritual states. While we’re all recovering from the holidays, maybe it’s a good time to push back the chair and reflect. And […]
Let’s Go! Let’s Grow! – Part 2/2
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) A word about awareness and “getting in touch with” something. In a three-month residential encounter group I did in 1975-6, even critics who were habitually driven to point out blemishes “got in touch with” what was driving them And it turned out they were just like everyone else except starved […]
Applied Spirituality: Taking a Stand
This time is shaping up to be, not so much one in which we study and absorb, but one in which we apply what we’ve learned of and from spirituality, wherever there is social chaos. This may be a time of applied spirituality. How do we do that? Let me make some suggestions if you […]
Drama, Drama, Drama Until We’re Complete
And now for a change of pace…. I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for what drives me. And when I think I’ve found it, I then look to see if that’s common with others, as in a pattern, trend, custom, rule, etc. Or is it just an aberrant thought, sent my way […]
Today? Tomorrow? Better Than? Worse Than?
I found myself dwelling on a matter we recently discussed. Let me develop this thought if you would. I want to take a train, with a roomette, across the US. I go to book a roomette on such-and-such a train, which travels daily across the continent. Our New Year’s gift to you: Download here: Growth, […]
Being the Pilot, not the Passenger
Over the Xmas holidays I watched Groundhog Day with a friend and was greatly impacted. It made a point about core issues or vasanas that I can’t help calling attention to. “Vasanas” is a Vedantic term for the reaction patterns we’ve formed based on earlier, similar, traumatic incidents. (1) The premise of the story, […]
Even a Bad Day can be Rich in Understandings
I’m not sure I can say “all martial arts exercises,” but I can say “all karate exercises” begin with a defensive move, never an offensive move. Always with a block, never with a kick or punch. Besides not being taught how to attack, a karate student is taught only to use the minimum force needed […]
We’re All of Us Natives
The Divine Mother asks us: Divine Mother: What is the new foundation upon which Nova Earth is built? It is the 13 Blessings and Virtues [the divine qualities] that we gifted you so long ago. This is the core of everything you will value and bring forth in the new reality. This is the foundation […]
But I AM Entitled!
I’m staring at this huge vein of entitlement that I have. White, male, college-educated, lives in a supposedly democratic country, on and on. I’m entitled. You may say, well, just wake up. But it goes far deeper than the conscious mind. I described these earlier as automatic behavior patterns that are habitual. They’re the precipitate […]
Like a Bubble Rising in the Ocean of the World
I seem driven to paint. And write. I swish some gold glitter glue onto a bottle I’m working on and immediately the ideas start to press themselves upon me and I have to write. I pitch bottles as fast as I paint them because there’s no more room in my apartment. If I create one, […]
An Entry Point for Letting Go of Conflict
Coming back from being an angry person, graduating to being a troll, and later a global policeman, I find conflict to be absolutely second nature to me. In fact I love it. I love a good fight and am disappointed when the other person backs down … in the face of my enthusiasm to just […]
Emergence, Divine Assistance, and Rising Energies
I’m beginning to think that what lies before us as lightworkers is a process of emergence (1) plus divine assistance. (2) We emerge from the overburden of our core issues and resentments. Our divine assistance comes in the form of bursts of energy, reminders, urges, etc. When I get an idea from Michael, it’s usually […]
An Inadequate View of Reality – Part 1/2
I just read an account of the last three hundred years or so which so warped “history” that I finally blew my stack. If I’ve done any professional study, it’d be as an historian. This post is long for which I apologize. I feel the need to have my say. I was reading alleged accounts […]
A Seventy-Year Journey Back to Normalcy
One emerges over time from dissociation. It happens as one makes one realization after another, like a search beam, going in this direction, then in that, scanning for something that would shed light on why I feel so hesitant, retiring, unsure of myself. You know the story: Dad yelled at me, aged seven, from […]
Duelling Sources? I Don’t Think So
Disagreement between Sources? We seem to have a disagreement between sources and yet we don’t. The Federation of Light through Blossom says: “Many of you are aware of many things that are taking place on your Planet that do not serve the Planet or Yourselves, in any way shape, or form. Yet, you feel perhaps, […]
