I wanted to post a little video that I took from my balcony in Southern California this morning. You can hear the faint echo of some thunder. That’s my Lakshmi statue and beyond her, in the fog, is the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Click here to see the downpour and Pacific Ocean. My area is scheduled […]

Glimpses of What Lies Ahead
Having newly discovered, or re-discovered perhaps, my balanced adult, (1) I’m now having fun with it. I spilled a bottle of glue today while transferring it from one bottle to another. I enjoyed watching myself clean up the mess, moderately. I knew full well (without a barrier of resistance appearing) that I could restore the […]

The Caring Mind, the Adult State
Sometimes it seems to me that we have many selves. Maybe innumerable selves, I don’t know. Buddhists talk about hungry mind and grasping mind. The self or mind that I just noticed – and that I’m a virtual stranger to – I think of as the caring mind. I was in the middle of moaning […]

I Go Another Way
Over and over I return to the sense I have that our responses to our feelings are the major drivers in our lives. I watch myself move from one feeling to another – from happiness to irritation, from concern to relaxation – and what I notice about myself is my extreme reaction in the face […]
From Self-Loathing to Self-Pride
Self-acceptance, it seems to me, is the largest part of a healing process from childhood trauma. Or so it has proven for me in my process – still underway. A short while ago, I found myself feeling proud of myself for what I’d accomplished in this lifetime. Feeling proud of myself is utterly foreign to […]
A Basic Change of Opinion
I’d like to continue a thread. It’s about the importance of how we feel. You know, I haven’t been to Earth all that often. (1) I often feel like an anthropologist, studying customs in the North American culture to which I belong because all seems so new. I have absolutely no awareness of any other […]

Archangel Michael: Introduction to Vasanas
A friend sent me a 2017 article yesterday about a Zen master who ventured into sexual impropriety in 2011 and stepped down as a consequence. (1) Why do even advanced spiritual teachers succumb to vasanas or core issues such as this one appears to have? The answer is because vasanas don’t disappear forever until Sahaja […]
