Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I feel the need to say more on: the levels of consciousness and how I personally am being affected by hanging out with journalistic argumentation that insists on remaining at the right/wrong, good/bad level of intellectual knowledge in an overall dualistic (3D) environment. Wow. Is that a mouthful. But I feel better now […]
Steve is attending to other blog affairs today. How many things do we call “everything that is.” God, love, consciousness…. Three things cannot be everything that is all at once and be mutually exclusive, can they? It can’t be love and not consciousness or consciousness and not love. So it’d be fair to say that […]
System: * Today’s date and time is 12:27 PM PDT on Monday, June 09, 2025. Holy Guacamole, Batman, I’m lost in a conversation with Grok. We pick up where I look at Grok’s understanding of the heart door or hridayam, the pinprick of light two digits to the right of the breastbone. The hridayam opens […]
A friend is developing channeling and just produced the most interesting observations on awareness. This is an example of something you’d expect to read in a 1970s Growth Movement magazine covering topics equivalent to what we look at here; in this case, a developed appraisal of the process and impact of awareness. […]
People reading us a hundred years from now will probably chuckle over the words we use to describe things that are totally new to us but familiar to them. I can’t give you any examples because they live in what is to me the unknown. Here’s an example from our past. The […]
I was lying in bed, writing an article in my head on confidence. That’s a subject I’ve studied for most of my life because the one thing I lost for fifty years of it was my self-confidence. I lost it after my Dad shouted at me from a few inches in front of my face […]
There’s so much we … OK, OK, I … don’t understand. For instance, take awareness. Awareness transforms. It does so, first of all, in ways I don’t understand or even suspect. Put those aside for the moment with a simple acknowledgment. Second of all, it transforms by allowing the unpleasant sensation or emotion to […]
I often hear folks debating free will vs determinism, as if, if the one exists, the other cannot. Do we have free will? Or are the events of our lives pre-determined by “karma”? Both. Any seeming contradiction disappears when we make a distinction between action and reaction. Let me back up a moment, to explain. […]
Back in March, we posted an article from Judith Kusel* about the Diamond and Platinum Sun Children coming on to the planet now. The child in this wonderful video shows us the divine qualities they are carrying. Notes “Canadian momma Jonisa recently went viral on TikTok for a surprisingly insightful conversation she had with […]
Ibn Arabi: “To know God is not an easy matter, until one becomes a knower of one’s self.” (1) Al-Ghazzali: “He who knows himself knows God.” (2) The illusory, apparently-individuated entity known as the “Self” is like a Babushka doll. Whatever its original form might have been, that’s the largest of the dolls. And we […]
As a result of writing a previous article, I saw that I was creating my joy in a moment of realization. I wondered if I couldn’t create happiness as well. So I called up happiness from my heart on the inbreath and sent it out to the world on my outbreath. And, yes, I could […]
Long and reflective. A lot of interesting conversations going on backstage, stirred up by Matthew’s last message. One piece of feedback that arose was that I’m being too intellectual in trying to understand spiritual states. While we’re all recovering from the holidays, maybe it’s a good time to push back the chair and reflect. And […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) A word about awareness and “getting in touch with” something. In a three-month residential encounter group I did in 1975-6, even critics who were habitually driven to point out blemishes “got in touch with” what was driving them And it turned out they were just like everyone else except starved […]
In “Karma,” Swift sings, “Ask me what I learned from all those years / Ask me what I earned from all those tears.” Imprisoned for life, Joe Garcia finds solace and meaning in Taylor Swift’s music. Listening to Taylor Swift in Prison By Joe Garcia, The New Yorker, September 2, 2023 https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/listening-to-taylor-swift-in-prison The first time […]
The best representation of my Higher Self as he appeared to me (1) The degree of influence of the Higher (Seventh-Dimensional) Self, the Oversoul, on us seems to determine the degree to which we can be stalwart, valiant, determined. The extent of courage of the Higher Self is such that we can “import it” or […]
