Toward a World that Works for Everyone
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Written in the midst of a spiritual experience Meanwhile, everything we do together as a collective is a carefully-scripted drama, in which we have the right to depart from our agreed-upon lines. Well, now that I’m free of thinking that what I do or do not do matters, the question […]
I’m expanding and revising five or six books at once, getting ready for the demand for information I anticipate, following the announcement of the delegations or the Reval. And as I run through articles for inclusion in the expanded editions, I’m coming across some that I can’t not repost. This is one of them – […]
As you know, I need to use this time to sandpaper some of my rougher qualities if I’m to be of use later on. Part of an Ascension ethnography is the cleansing or purification phase, known to all terrestrial students of enlightenment. However, things have changed now with the rising energies, it seems. Vasanas that […]
When we talk about the assumption of divine authority, it sounds as if we’re talking about a new sheriff in town. Perhaps we are. I’d like to look at “divine authority” as an aspect of taking charge of ourselves. I know others use the concept in ways different than that, but that’s what I’d like […]
By Adam Goldberg May 30, 2019 “. . . something to be said how religious parents tend to have a more authoritarian parenting style.” httpss://www.anonews.co/children-raised-religion/ According to a study published in Current Biology in 2015, children raised without religion tend to be kinder than children brought up in very religious households. The study was a […]
Here it is a beautiful sunny Sunday. I’m sitting here saying to myself, you should go outside. I don’t want to go outside. I’m lying here waiting. But for what? After looking and looking, what I see inside is that I’m wanting to feel a certain way. That’s what I’m looking for. Not just being […]
I continue with my Ascension ethnography. One of the things I’m noticeing is that, when I considered any matter from the perspective of being a CEO of a large corporation, in the past, I always felt mixed emotions. My mind was divided. I had reservations. I was a house divided against itself. We have many […]
Just as God enjoys the world through the senses of every one of us, so do I – who, like you, am that very God – enjoy the world through anything I become aware of. When I identify with the mind, I use it to create through. When I identify and operate as the ego, […]
I call the source of trauma vasanas; Linda calls them core issues; these folks call them trauma. The name doesn’t matter. But all are agreed that these are the main obstacle to our happiness. The ABCs of Psychological Trauma Stillness in the Storm, 07/15/20 httpss://stillnessinthestorm.com/2019/07/the-abcs-of-psychological-trauma/ Although psychological trauma doesn’t affect everyone in the same way, […]
As I go about observing my responses to things, seeing where I flip into potential harmfulness … OK, attack mode … I see that I cannot observe a vow to be harmless and yet engage in drama. The two are irreconcilable. They cannot both exist in the same space. A number of games in Eric […]
Concluded from Part 1, above.) I’m not becoming a zealot or a purist. (Doesn’t this sound like a juggling act?) I’m convinced that all this is happening because of three things: (1) The impact of the rising energies, (2) the approach of major events, and (3) the impact of my knowledge of future responsibilities – […]
I continue to focus my attention on how I am with other people, especially in conflict. I still spark and turn the other person into the enemy. I go out of relationship with them and break the connection over issues that arise. Recently Fedex lost a parcel of mine and I could have used the […]
I have (and I wonder if we have as well) many urgent needs, strong desires that I serve endlessly – and without question. An example would be a strong desire for affirmation that’s authentic and not manipulative. I was criticized as a child at the very time when a son wants a father to be […]
I personally don’t have as much time to process vasanas these days as I did a few years ago. I have to make room for speedier measures. And so today I just dug in and asked myself: What is the chief mischief maker? Never mind beating around the bush. Let’s get to the heart of […]
Whenever I feel guilt or shame or dismay, I can say with certainty that my Wounded Child is in the driver’s seat. I can say this with certainty because of what I saw and felt in a meditation I did at Xenia Retreat Center on Sept. 18, 2018. I saw the Self in the depths […]
