Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Let me compare humanity to a school of fish, all heading in the same direction. Some are on the leading edge; some are in the middle; and some patrol the rear. But all reach their destination. Or a horse race. Some horses are in the lead; some are just behind; and some are trailing. But […]
I sometimes flatter myself that I’m getting down to basics in the study of this wonderful creation that a human being is. I’m of course flattering myself but more on that in a minute. I say that as a result of noticeing something that existed entirely in what Werner Erhard called the background of obviousness. […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) I can now return to my original point. It’s only flattery to think that I’m somehow down to the basics in awareness of myself and don’t need to keep purifying. Purifying ourselves – which is what gives us access to the heart’s treasures – doesn’t end before we end. As […]
Recently I wrote: “In spiritual terms, given that I’m a spirit in a human body, relating to others of the same kind, and want to understand myself and others – and given that others may want to as well – how do I describe the ways we think, feel, and act; that is, our culture?” […]
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…. Well, we’re certainly used to waiting! I’m in a philosophical mood today. I’m guided to look at duality, to show that it isn’t inherently bad or wrong. The very first act in the drama of our lives was one of imaginary separation, individuation. No, not […]
(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.) From “That World is Nova Earth: An Introduction to Ascension – Part 1/2,” October 12, 2017, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/10/12/that-world-is-nova-earth-an-introduction-to-ascension-part-12/ Have we not got enough statements about “the essence of the One” to fill a book? (3) My favorite is from John Ruusbroec, who calls it the Christ, the Son of God: […]
In a way, we seem like walking magnets. By the Law of Attraction and Repulsion, we attract certain people and situations to us and repel others. We’re refined magnets. We have the ability to change frequencies the way a TV changes channels. But, as long as we’re in the lower dimensions, our power of attraction […]
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 […]
When I think of Ascension as a journey up a mountain, I weep. Because for me, that’s how it’s seemed. I could have said pulling myself out of a swamp. Or crossing a desert. These are just images, but I feel so tired looking at the journey from this vantage point. It’s been a long […]
Download a copy of Paradigmatic Breakthrough: Essays in New-Age Philosophy here In this article I’m going to look at paradigmatic breakthrough from a number of angles. A paradigmatic breakthrough is a discontinuous movement from one contextualizing understanding or point of view that has come to pinch and restrict to another more acceptable one. If the […]
Why is awareness so important? Why not love? Why not good works? Well, of course those are also very important. But awareness – which is also called discernment and discrimination in some religions – is of ultimate importance. Why? By now I should be able to ask “What is the purpose of life?” and a […]
For me, there are three levels of reality in our Third/Fourth Dimension (that’s where I seem to be). The first is the intellectual. It includes our body, its emotions, the spirit, and everything else. It’s just that it attempts to know them and itself only from the standpoint of ideas. It goes no deeper than […]
The Divine Mother grants us the free will to choose any path we wish home. It may involve scenic detours and changes of plans but the Mother has the faith and trust in us that we’ll find our way home, following the guidance available to us but not mandatory to follow. This is Archangel Michael’s […]
There has to be an end to fear. The soul in my 1987 vision did not end up in a bad place but a good place. (1) There had to have been an end to fear for that to have happened. The chief fear is the fear of death. The truth is that we always, […]
Notice that one spiritual experience has a person talking about it for years. I used to say to myself that one spiritual experience a decade would keep me going. I found myself muttering to myself this morning: “The Self can be said to ‘reside’ at the far end of the cul de sac that the […]
