Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Werner Erhard said that upsets derive from three circumstances: frustrated expectations, thwarted intentions, and undelivered communications. (1) What they all have in common is we didn’t get what we wanted or we got what we didn’t want – and we’re mad. It’s infantile behavior. Nothing higher-dimensional about it, except for Moses. Instead […]
As a student of awareness, I began looking at anger this morning and decided that it was a response to not getting what we want. So how do I go about short-circuiting that? The ultimate answer is: Just stop. But let’s look at the interim answer, anger for beginners. The assertiveness people would say one […]
On one level, it doesn’t matter what’s going on outside. I know the purpose of life is Self-Realization (1) and so I continue to observe myself, separating the transitory from the eternal, moving along the path of self-awareness and self-discovery. I reflect on my life, at 5 in the morning, no one else being up. […]
Again the mysteries of the assassination attempt unfold. The Secret Service ignoring warnings of the shooter’s presence, them ordering the white-hat sniper not to shoot the deep-state shooter, trajectories, timing, etc. Questions arise on every side. While all this is going on, here I am exploring the path of loving kindness. I’ve followed the path […]
Growing up under a parent who served in the Second World War offered its challenges to me. Discipline was the back of the hand. I may as well have been in boot camp. I was a lazy no-good good-for-nothing because I liked to read rather than swim and golf and play tennis. At this very […]
I’ve come back from family violence severe enough to cause me to be dissociated for fifty years, during all of which I observed. And observed. And observed. As a result of it all, I feel qualified to comment on some of our ways of handling matters. In Mein Kampf, Hitler said to capture leadership of […]
Things are moving through me at such a rate that I may have to resort to posting notes if I’m to journal my own Ascension, as I agreed with Michael and the Mother to do. (1) Only if I write these things down will I remember them. Never mind what I ate for breakfast. Right […]
When I look back on the differences between my father’s WWII generation and my own, their Depression and then their war experiences seem to have colored their demeanor. Disciplined, cooperative, focused on a goal that everyone could get behind, they loved nothing more than to get together after work and cajole and reminisce. They swaggered […]
As the love energies increase on the planet, my relationship to anger is changing. The background is that my Dad shouted at me from inches in front of my face at age 7. My personality shattered. That bent the twig and the tree inclined in the direction of dissociation – for another 50 years – […]
If the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court went forward in time to this age, what would he see? Well, first of all, he wouldn’t travel to King Arthur’s court; he’d be surfing the Internet. And his liege lord, Arthur, wouldn’t be worrying about his wife running off with his chief knight. The current ruler […]
I think it amazing the amount and depth of clearing that’s happening – for me right now – I assume it’s general. I’m usually a weather vane. Things 20-30 years old are coming up, with force. The only thing I can do when a sleeping volcano erupts is to make it short and hopefully scream […]
Anger is up for me right now, anger that has been suppressed for decades, that my Universal Self and Michael, I imagine, feel it’s now time for me to tackle. I can’t take this anger with me into the work I’ll be doing. And if I don’t get to the bottom of it now and […]
Another personality element that I have to draw on in building is experience as a military commander many centuries ago. Some of the skills are exportable; some not. The sense of reliance upon the group and of being powerless without their assistance is exportable. A sense of the need for sound and stable leadership towards […]
The movie, Unsinkable, which had a free showing recently, was a toolbox of approaches to core issues – what I call vasanas – the karmic seeds of future action. (1) I noticed one place where our approaches differ. Unsinkable would have us change our thought patterns. I’ve only dabbled with that approach recently. Previously my […]
Watching Unsinkable (1) last night has stirred up some things in me. I was already beginning to connect some past-life dots, but the movie raised more of the picture to my awareness. I had a past life as a military commander many centuries ago. The commander was full of anger and hatred toward his enemy. […]
