Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Triggers just seem to keep going off. I have to be supervigilant not to launch into extreme thoughts and behavior. And not to then swing out onto the other extreme and super-protect myself from them, until the guardian again becomes the guard. (1) How to stay in the middle and yet be strong, resolute, determined? […]
Vesuvius is quietening down. Let me do a post-mortem. Father hatred leaves me flat, unresponsive, shallow in my compassion. Hindus call that state of mind thamasic, lethargic. In my everyday awareness, I can feel it only subtly, as a slightly negative attitude towards everything – not skeptical but pessimistic. Disbelief, despair, depression. As I said […]
So far the vasana with my Dad has manifested, as it did in 1986, as unbridled anger. But I seem to have left the anger phase now, and, even as the last fumes of father hatred dissipate, I’m beset by feelings of fear. This is a crystal-clear demonstration that anger sits on top of fear. […]
I had no success accessing this vasana. (1) It’s the same root vasana of father hatred that I’ve been dealing with since I was a young child. It shows how tenacious a vasana can be. I finally invoked universal law and asked Archangel Michael and the Divine Mother to take the whole of it away, […]
I seem to be in a process of emergence. As I move forward in it, I bump into major roadblocks again and again. I’m bumping into one now. I’m not surprised that it’s come up. The minute one takes a position, up comes the opposition. I’ve taken a position, “no more global small talk – […]
Going deeper is the exact opposite of a meme war. A meme war promotes superficial thinking and a rush to judgment. I’m advocating increasing depth: Go deeper. When I go deeper and look at the current situation, I see that the first thing that’s needed, in my opinion, is for us to lower the temperature […]
Even as my feelings of competence and willingness increase, my sensitivity to non-credible name-calling and meme wars increases. I’ve reached a new level of resistance to dualistic/polarized news. Issues, memes, name-calling. I’ve had enough. And this came about as a result of what I read on what I regard as a leading spiritual/alternative news site. […]
By Andrea Brower, Yes Magazine, June 14, 2020 https://www.yesmagazine.org/issue/love-apocalypse/2013/06/14/what-to-say-when-they-say-it-s-impossible/ Those committed to building a more just future must question the taken-for-granted “truths” that support the beliefs that capitalism is the only common-sense possibility and that there is no alternative. We can’t leave this task to the pages of peer-reviewed journals and classrooms of social theory—these […]
Free book, Letting go of Social Vasanasor Collective Trauma, attached (below). I recall reading somewhere – now lost to me – that we accomplish very little karmically in any one lifetime. And I watched myself to see why that would be so. And what I saw was a person bouncing from thought to thought, acting […]
This article is a few days out of chronological order, set aside for breaking news. Werner Erhard made the distinction between an us-against-them and an us-and-them world. A world that works for everyone is an us-and-them world. Others have called it win/win. Now, I was not raised in an us-and-them environment, not viewed from any […]
On April 17th, 2020, Magenta Pixie posted a video outlining 3 steps necessary to release ourselves from the dark agenda as we move into unity consciousness 1) Learn about, and acknowledge, the abuses that have taken place and integrate the visceral and emotional reactions that will likely manifest. 2) Reclaim our rightful place as universal […]
Anael has given me permission to post her share from Suzi’s Forum. (https://goldenageofgaia.com/forums-home/.) In it she’s sharing or revealing herself, which is a freeing thing to do. (The truth will set you free.) This is exactly what I was hoping would happen on the Forum. I have an idea to propose to you for directing […]
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 […]
One-hundred and seventy-six people had their lives snuffed out recently, over … well, it doesn’t really matter where. (1) And it isn’t the only loss of life today. Catastrophes and tragedies are happening all over and on a scale that is unprecedented – witness the false flags in Australia and China. I’d like to see […]
I was deeply moved by watching Martin Luther King deliver his 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech. I found myself immersed in inner work in response to it – in between my tears from being moved. Aided by the buoyancy I felt from listening, at that moment, the penny dropped for me on what Archangel […]
