Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Around and around I go, from thought to feeling to action. I repeat it again and again. I call this “life” – from thought to feeling to action. Actually I’d say that “life” was one of the things it’s missing. It’s habitual. It’s robotic. It’s a disintegrating experience. OK, everyone. Stop the world. I want […]
I suggested earlier that we all help the planet out and voluntarily quarantine ourselves for two weeks. (1) Well, here we all are, voluntarily and involuntarily quarantined, in a laboratory experiment in isolation and social distancing. You’re free for the evening, right? Humor me then. Let’s pretend we’re sociology students. I’m exploring what the impact […]
I’m being pulled in so many directions. Take mask and gloves. Keep social distance. Use plastic, not cash. It looks like YYY planted the vaccine. No, I don’t believe XXX. I look through his videos and he’s wrong as often as he’s right. Yay, I have some leftover chicken shwarma from the Mediterranean tonight! I […]
Having been reminded yesterday of the mind’s ability to divide itself into parts, sides, or voices, (1) I identified three persistent voices that were key in forming my everyday life experience. I’ll use Eric Berne’s terms for them: a child, parent, and adult ego or consciousness state. Berne explains: “‘That is your Parent’ means: ‘You […]
I’d like to continue a thread. It’s about the importance of how we feel. You know, I haven’t been to Earth all that often. (1) I often feel like an anthropologist, studying customs in the North American culture to which I belong because all seems so new. I have absolutely no awareness of any other […]
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 […]
On the awareness path of the growth movement in the Seventies, we’d talk a lot about “pushing your edge.” If we were going to grow, we had to rid ourselves of our unwanted baggage. We had to follow some form of cleansing or purifying process. And for us that often meant to “own” something. To […]
This is the third classic message I’d like to repost. If I were asked to post one article from Jesus’s recent teachings that impacted me the most, it’d be this article. It so succinctly describes the same process I use to clear a vasana. It’s also foundational knowledge for the path of awareness, I think. […]
Returning to our exploration of positivity, I’m starting to see whole areas that I’ve walled myself off from through having taken a dim view of positivity. These I can now open to. Nonethelesss I still do value authenticity, truthfulness, and transparency. I’m still on guard against being snowed. How do I reconcile the two? Let […]
I joked to a friend that she was the quintessential female (action) and I was the quintessential male (stillness). And as I did so, I realized: I aspire to stillness. And I notice – because I’m using my awareness and my heart to penetrate into stillness – that stillness is prior to the divine qualities. […]
I’d like to continue the discussion I’ve been having about the divine states. We may find that we have to rewrite, relearn, and reprogram the way we “be with” them. In my experience, they need to be recognized to be fully experienced. It’d be as if bliss, love, peace, mastery, abundance, etc., were people passing […]
I was working in my apartment when bliss suddenly arose. No warning. No reason I was aware of. It was a circumstance where, if I did not recognize it and allow it, it’d enter my experience for a second and then vanish. As if it just poked its head in. But I did recognize it […]
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 […]
As we look forward to and prepare for the next event in our otherwise-gradual Ascension – a 4th-chakra heart opening – I keep hearing in my mind’s ear: The closer to the destination, the narrower the path and the straiter the gate. If Jesus didn’t say that, I think he should’ve. (Is that him laughing […]
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 […]
