Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Understanding the Cycle of Violence and How to Break It By Donna Rogers, via email Domestic violence is a societal problem that affects millions of people around the world. Fortunately, more attention is being placed on the issue, and October has been named as a National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year celebrates 30 years […]
Many will have read this transcript of An Hour with an Angel, last week. But for those who may have missed it, we repost it here. If you’ve already read it, please pass it by. I find the advice she gave here tremendously useful. My original plan was to edit it down to a small […]
Survivor Story: Amy Olsen DomesticShelters.org, May 01, 2017 httpss://www.domesticshelters.org/domestic-violence-articles-information/survivor-story-amy-olsen ‘I felt like a prisoner of war, just trying to survive’ I’ve blocked out a lot of my childhood, but I have flashbacks of abuse and neglect. I can remember witnessing domestic violence, being kicked and strangled, and being molested by one of my five brothers. […]
This next week, Kathleen and I – each on our own blog (1) – will be looking at various aspects of female/male relationships. Here we’ll be looking at gender equality. There, she’ll be looking at the balance of the divine feminine and the divine masculine, within. We’ll be trading articles back and forth. Let me […]
I’ve waited a day before writing this. Firstly because it’s intensely personal (Big Steve, Little Steve) and I feel vulnerable. Secondly because I wanted to see if what had happened was real and had lasting effects. A wall inside me fell yesterday morning. A wall I didn’t know I had. *** I was reflecting on […]
Triggering. And what to do about it! Arn (Zingdad) Allingham httpss://zingdad.com/blog/196-triggering-and-what-to-do-about-it The psychological effect of “being triggered” by an external event is something that one hears about a great deal these days. It has become a mainstream concept, often mentioned in the press and in online articles. The concept, in case you are not familiar […]
I hypothesize that: When tension goes up, awareness goes down. Moreover, our awareness that our awareness has gone down also diminishes. I ask us to keep these two notions in mind. Long ago I was in a situation that so triggered me that I couldn’t see or hear a man shouting at me from a […]
I’m learning so much from exploring this commanding attitude of taking charge. A few months ago, will reasserted itself in the Humpty Dumpty Man. Now he’s taking charge. I see this as part of a radical reconstruction of my self. The prostate surgery had something to do with it as well, AAM told me. Watching […]
I thought I was through with the shock of seeing myself without my self-serving lens. But evidently not. And, anyways, the occasion is too rich in learning to pass by so soon. All of life is only about learning anyways. Learning who we really are. When I really get that, life becomes a sabbatical in […]
Reposted from Oct. 2009. Enlightenment and Paradigm Shifts I said earlier that we don’t want ice on our wings when trying to take off in our plane or we’ll stall. Recent events have shown me that it isn’t just Ascension that may bring a “take-off” in our lives. We’ll be faced with the opportunity for […]
Reposted from January 2013. I hear many people say, “Oh, I’m clear of my vasanas.” To the best of my knowledge, very, very few people are free of their vasanas. “As one set of Vasanas is worn away,” Sadhu Arunachala said, “another takes its place.” (1) Don’t forget that we can and do have vasanas […]
Reposted from April 2011. I’ve said on a number of occasions that, as far as I’m concerned, cleaning up our unfinished business is what we need to be doing these days and that one cannot clean up unfinished business unless it’s present. One cannot access an upset that’s not happening in the moment. So when […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Here’s another new rail. Another name for a world that works for everyone, seen from my view, is a “cooperative commonwealth.” A cooperative commonwealth is distinctly new track. It was first recommended in the early 20th Century. (1) A Canadian political party calling itself the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation was largely […]
One of the awareness movement’s greatest contributions to us lies in the rich treasury of distinctions made about our ways of being. For example, here’s one from John Enright. According to him, we’re fairly predictable creatures. We follow a round of behavior which he called “the Wheel of Life.” Before I turn to John, I’m […]
From May 2014 This experience, which I called “System Restore,” saw the closure of my past as a complaint. I was enabled to go right back to age six and rejoin my then-happy life, pushing all of the rest since then into outer space. It was amazingly cleansing and liberating. I asked Archangel Michael about […]
