Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I created a subgroup in the Forum on “Sharing.” (1) Why did I do that? What is the draw in “sharing” for me? I’ll tell you but please keep in mind that I’m aware, as a Sociology grad student of small groups, that it doesn’t work to force a vision on a group. I’m simply […]
I was talking to a colleague when someone planted the idea in my mind – out of nowhere – that it’s all about emergence. For us it’s all about coming out of our shells. What is “it”? Growth. Enlightenment. Ultimately Ascension. We’ve been conditioned by a hundred forces all our lives. It’s time to come […]
Please accept a combined Christmas and New Years gift from us to you – a new book on the constructed self. What’s the importance of knowing about the constructed self? The constructed self is the view of ourselves – also called a mask, act, or self-image – we try to sell to others. When we […]
(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 – […]
When I move from elementary to high school on the awareness path is when I’m prepared to call myself on my own self-serving agendas, anomalies, failings, losses, defeats, etc. That’s information that the other party may need in interacting with me, that I usually keep close to my chest as a deep dark secret. The […]
I continue to allow myself to feel what arises, the residue of a vasana or core issue reactivated. As long-time readers know, I regard the re-activation of a vasana as a good thing. It’s only then that we can re-experience and complete the incomplete feelings at the heart of it. (1) Mostly we don’t share […]
Mike Quinsey is having computer problems and will not have a message to post this week. Tonight, I’m going through one space after another, dealing with the issue of finances. Greta Thunberg is in town and I could not rouse myself from my mood to go hear her. Grief at the thought that this phase […]
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’ve traced this lack of compassion that I feel back to the crib. My arms were tied to the sides of the crib to stop me from scratching as a result of having excema. I was wheeled into the kitchen and left there all night no matter how much I cried. (1) I concluded that […]
The Arcturians asked us to master every thought and feeling. I’d like to talk about mastering feelings for a moment. I watch myself and I see myself talking about things in a way that reflects how I feel – gloomy, depressed, elevated, happy. I “come from” the context of the feeling I’m presently experiencing. If […]
Today I vowed to encounter a feeling that I seem to dread experiencing. I’d never named it. I didn’t know what in the past it was connected to. I noticed I had the thought that I’d rather die than fully experience it. Linda Dillon calls this a “core issue.” I call it a “root vasana.” […]
After writing this article, I read Narendra Mishra’s reading, to be posted later today. In it, the Divine Mother tells us not to wait for an “event” but to do our work beforehand diligently. She said: “And will there be what you think of as the ‘mother storm’? The answer is yes. But do not […]
I’ve been recuperating from a fall in which I bruised a rib. Because the bruise was so painful, I didn’t do anything that would engage the hurting muscle. Well, going to the bathroom did and so I dispensed with it. Seven days later I’m well and truly constipated. I don’t know which is worse. A […]
