Toward a World that Works for Everyone
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 […]
I’m more and more realizing the idiocy of claiming to be an “expert.” I’m left musing after reading Marilyn’s thought-provoking history of the Council of Nicea. The only historical connection I have – even to the Christian Church broadly at that time, save a lifelong fascination with the desert fathers – is with St. Nonnus […]
I’m a 102-year-old doctor. Here’s the No. 1 thing the healthiest and happiest people I know never do By Gladys McGarey, May 8th, CNBC Make It https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/08/i-am-a-102-year-old-doctor-heres-the-no-1-thing-the-happiest-and-healthiest-people-i-know-never-do.html I turned 102 years old this year, and my decades of experience in holistic medicine has taught me a lot about how to live a long, happy and […]
I’ve done a major revision and expansion of Vasanas: Preparing for Ascension by Clearing Old Issues. It’s about doubled in size. Practicing the upset clearing process is one way to rid yourself of your burden of resentment and similar negative feelings. (Invoking the universal laws is another.)

I was asked what keeps me going, moving forward, especially in crazy times. There are so many answers to that question. I’d like to select from among them and mention something I discussed once before: The notion of pushing my edge. It was a 1970s growth movement notion that deserves to be remembered. What kept […]
Download On Transformative Awareness here: https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Transformative-Awareness-9.pdf I was in the course of updating, expanding, and polishing Transformative Awareness when I came across a reference to “going above the line.” I made a footnote in the text and the footnote rapidly became an article. Let me explain the term and, in the course of doing so, […]
I’ve completed On Transformative Awareness, which is attached. This is a book on the awareness path, including how awareness works to dissolve knots in consciousness (the truth will set you free), what the joys of awareness are, and how awareness fits with the Divine Plan.

This experience happened perhaps a week ago but the write-up was nudged off the publication schedule by 9/11 coverage. Again I continue ethnographically while I regain my health and momentum. I’m going through an experience at the moment that I can only compare to moulting. Or perhaps cracks opening in my body and my body […]
Download here: On the Divine Qualities at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/On-the-Divine-Qualities-2.pdf. I’ve made this point several ways. I keep looking for other metaphors. Up till now I’ve discussed where I believe we need to be as the heart, the center, the balance point, etc. Let me now compare it to the eye of the storm. A hurricane […]
I’ve just had the clearest example of someone on the other side sending me an urgent bulletin. Both the bulletin and the sending are interesting. I was wrestling with what caused inner turmoil and turned my attention to the “personality.” And then came a moment of clear, heightened seeing when I said to myself: I […]
Rumors are flying about exposures and arrests. As I watch them, I remember Michael’s advice: “Stand back and observe.” I’m glad I choose the middle, emotionally and spiritually speaking. Everyone makes choices in self-presentation and I feel quite comfortable, nestled here in the center, as much as I can manage it. Spiritually speaking, the middle […]
