I’d like to draw attention to what Matthew Ward said recently: “Intensifying light during the aforementioned period offers an ideal opportunity to set positive intentions for personal growth. Go into your heart space—as God said, ‘The heart is the seat of the soul’—and if introspection shows residue of anxiety, self-doubt, judgments or discouragement, letting go […]
Work to Do
There’s something that was alive in the Sixties and Seventies and died in the Eighties, which I’d like to bring back to life. We called it “consciousness raising.” It was a dialogue around people’s issues – women, blacks, gays, etc. The idea behind it was that people lack information on which to make an informed […]
Matt Kahn: Yes or No
via email Opportunities don’t always come into your life to be received. In its highest evolutionary value, opportunity is the refiner of intuitive knowing. That which you are meant to welcome in elicits a resounding yes in your heart. Any hesitancy or lack of inner response merely being the chance to say no with […]
What’s the Significance and Effectiveness of Personal Cleansing?
All this personal cleansing that I’m doing – and we’re doing – what’s its significance and how effective is it? The significance of personal cleansing is that it removes the various obstacles to realization (enlightenment). I’ve talked about the obstacles as vasanas (or core issues), habitual behavior patterns, and … I now see … the […]
A Lifetime’s Humiliation Coming Up
I’d like to illustrate here the application of the upset clearing process to a really-tough vasana (or core issue). (1) I’m going to raise to awareness a feeling that’s difficult to experience. It’s so strong that it’s been roasting me alive for three days now. Constant Comment may be gone but my vasanas live! A […]
Back to a Normal I Never Knew
AAM: It is expanding and growing and anchoring in profound ways, in ways that, in human form, thus far, you do not fully comprehend. It does not matter. It is not necessary that it be comprehended on a mental basis for it is the heart consciousness. It is expansion and it is the expansion of […]
Embodiment: There Can Only Be One – Part 2/2
(Concluded from yesterday.) I decreed my oneness. I commanded that I be one from this moment onwards. And I did become one. And no sooner had I done that, then another, higher part of myself returned to me like a Slinkey reassembling itself. The one followed the other in rapid succession. These things never come […]
Embodiment: There Can Only Be One – Part 1/2
If you were the Humpty Dumpty man, had a great fall, and smashed into a million pieces, how would you put yourself back together again? What mantra/affirmation would you use? I am one? Sixty-six years after dissociating in that way, I’m nearing the point of becoming one again. (1) I never want to say the […]
I Feel Happy, Said the Troll Under the Bridge
Exploration has become fun. I’m lying here, past sunset. The sky goes from red to orange to yellow to green to light blue, dark blue, and black. It’s really beautiful. And I feel happy. Me, the troll under the bridge. Ebenezer Scrooge. Bah! Humbug! No, no, really. I feel happy. There’s no Constant Comment sitting […]
Matt Kahn: Dissolving Disappointment
(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 […]
Cleaning Up the Residue: The “Work” in “Growth Work”
Seeing a vasana (or core issue) disappear for a time is not the end of the road. Vasanas can reappear and re-establish themselves if we fall back into living life by following what have become habitual behavior patterns. Habitual behavior patterns are one form of residue, precipitate, the fallout from our vasanas. They linger even […]
Women Involved in Conflict Resolution to Build an Inclusive and Peaceful World
Kristen Bell: This Is What a Feminist ‘Good Place’ Looks Like “I think a feminist ‘Good Place’ looks like a place with equality.” James Hitchings-Hales, Global Citizen, August 19, 2020 https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/kristen-bell-the-good-place-feminist-wphf/ All the evidence suggests that when women are involved in conflict resolution, peace deals last longer. But women are still excluded from the process. […]
When the Reval Hits….
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 […]
Out of Jail at Last
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 […]
A Whole New World
Sometimes I think that the mind is like the General and the heart is like the President. It’s kind of like a family. And what really fascinates me in it is the role of the feelings. They seem like children, tugging on their parent’s sleeves to get attention and get their wishes satisfied. Don’t get […]
