Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Our loving thoughts are with the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Further to our conversation in “Past-Life Connection,” (1) I took another step today in what I call “emergence.” (2) Emergence for me means to step forth or stand forth from our limitations, our vasanas as a class of phenomena, our feelings […]
I’m about to lay down Theorem No. 10. How should I phrase it? Confidence varies directly proportional to forgiveness. (1) I say that after enjoying a reading from Kathleen in which she made available to me a second opportunity to forgive my father for domestic violence. (2) I took it and enjoyed the release it […]
With thanks to Rosa. January 23, 2023 https://www.innerbonding.com/show-article/4926/welcoming-our-disowned-parts.html Our wounded parts heal with love and truth, not with being disowned. Trying to get rid of your wounded self will keep you stuck in your wounded self. “I just want to get rid of the part of me that gets angry so easily.” “I hate the […]
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. […]
I’ve just become aware of the most subtle feeling, one that permeates my entire experience and holds me back on all matters of initiation and self-presentation. It blankets me. I’m feeling into it at this moment, treating it as a vasana (or core issue). (1) It has a shade of sorrow. —-> [A flash of […]
I was sharing in Kathleen’s meditation group the other night that I’ve been “processing” (read: beating up on) my Dad for the past ten years and I still feel resentful and vengeful. Every History or Sociology class I taught reified into my Father. Every villain I ever fought became my Father. I’ve grown up fighting […]
I am at the moment processing a really persistent and deeply-rooted vasana (or core issue), which I’ve never even noticed till now because of its construction. (2) It’s a two-handed conversation, rather than a simple single voice. I’m going to call it a “nexus.” (3) One side of the conversation is hatred of the father. […]
Here comes a detailed look at the constructed self that we fashion to present and manage our image, to look good and sound right. The invitation is to come out from behind the image and be who we really are.

It sounds like, from what I’m hearing, we’re all finding ourselves strained at this point in time. My own version of it is that everything incomplete is arising. (Everything hid shall be known.) Everything not nailed down is flying through the air. All my dislikes, grievances, and resentments are coming up – not as thoughts […]
I just got, from completing a huge vasana that traces back to events with my Mother, that, in the last analysis, no one else is responsible for and able to clean up the emotional damage I feel but me. Yes, I can get apologies. Anything external could happen. But no matter what happens externally – […]
I want to say at the beginning that I’m not talking about emotional pain, trauma, etc. That’s a different subject and a very difficult one. I recommend clearing emotional pain using the upset clearing process. (1) I’m talking about physical pain and I’m specifically relating to the pain in my knees from a newly-arisen case […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) I wanted to go deeper into my observation of the still space when suddenly a fear arose. I said to myself: If I go deeper, I invite a deep spiritual experience. Will that interfere with my work? The mere appearance of fear was enough of an obstacle to halt the […]
There’s so much bad news that I feel my stomach tightening up when I read my email, scan the news, or visit my favorite sites. Even though I know the eventual outcome will be wonderful, I sag from time to time. I’m to report the good, less of the bad, none of the ugly. But […]
