Toward a World that Works for Everyone
When I saw the Self at Xenia on Sept. 18, 2018, a large part of the experience was feeling its purity and innocence. (1) I was so relieved. I’m not sure what else I expected to find, but to actually experience the quality of my essential nature and to find it to be so inspiringly […]
All we are at one level of reality, as I’ve experienced, is a point of awareness in a sea of love. (1) Michael referred to that state when he described us re-emerging from the heart of One: “When you go home, … you can reunite in the heart of One. … [After a rest] you […]
I confess I’m enjoying this series. Nothing feeds me more than the study of enlightenment. Let me post one more, from Plotinus. Plotinus had numerous transcendental experiences in his lifetime. I’ve posted this passage before. It also may emanate from one who ascended. Is this not a hint of his attainment: “Remaining here, you have […]
Variations on the phrase “feeling good” receive different receptions. A “feel good” movie is one that sets out to elevate our feelings, but there’s the added implication that it has no other redeeming feature. The words “superficial” and “feel good” often go together. “Feeling good” is often viewed as a way of closing down further […]
There have been many discussions of new ways of communicating. I’d like to add to that discussion, drawing on my experience of the growth movement of the Seventies. I’d like to illustrate here one element in the way we used to communicate – what we’d have termed “calling yourself on your own number.” Usually we […]
What to do during lockdown, quarantine, social isolation, etc.? I’d highly recommend meditation. But I have no depth of background in meditation so I can’t speak to it. I do plan to meditate more myself, given the isolating conditions. But what about during the time when we’re not meditating? How to “make best use of […]
I was talking with a young acquaintance who related numerous types of experiences she regularly has. When she can even find someone to discuss them with, she suspects they think that her experiences mean she has mental problems. That’s a situation I’ve heard that so many people have. They’re clearly here for a reason and […]
Most people in the world do not know about Ascension. Most do not believe that we survive bodily death. Certainly most do not know that life has a purpose, a direction, a meaning. (1) What we believe determines the world we live in – and the world we don’t. Another way of saying that is […]
AAM: It is expanding and growing and anchoring in profound ways, in ways that, in human form, thus far, you do not fully comprehend. It does not matter. It is not necessary that it be comprehended on a mental basis for it is the heart consciousness. It is expansion and it is the expansion of […]
Exploration has become fun. I’m lying here, past sunset. The sky goes from red to orange to yellow to green to light blue, dark blue, and black. It’s really beautiful. And I feel happy. Me, the troll under the bridge. Ebenezer Scrooge. Bah! Humbug! No, no, really. I feel happy. There’s no Constant Comment sitting […]
Again, doing research on an entirely-different topic, I came across this 2017 conversation with Michael where he discusses the human tendency not to fully trust the Mother and the celestials. I can speak to the fear he points to here. Living almost entirely on donations can make one’s teeth chatter. Unless one has been told […]
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 […]
Speaking of “from the bottom of my heart,” I’d like to thank everyone who wrote in with loving messages while I was in hospital – from the bottom of mine. I was deeply touched. Now for something completely different…. Do we ever think about the derivation of common phrases, such as “from the bottom of […]
(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 – […]
