Toward a World that Works for Everyone
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 […]
An awareness writer writes about what’s right here, right now. One who is not an awareness writer might gloss over it, censor themselves, and so on. In many occupations – such as the military, surgical, aeronautical – it won’t be appropriate to be dwelling on how we feel about something, what we notice about […]
Three days till 11/11. When, at Xenia Retreat Center in Sept. 2018, I ventured in meditation into the very bottom of my heart, the depths of my heart, called the Seat of the Soul, I there found the Light of the Self. (1) But, after the experience, I was filled with doubts. The soul doesn’t […]
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 toned-down Self I saw was luminous rather than brilliant While I’m aware of the actor/participant or “witness” in the drama of my life, and while I’ve even seen a moderated or toned-down version of it, (1) I personally wouldn’t say that I’ve realized it. I’ve called realization seeing from a higher level, (2) which […]
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 […]
Jeffrey has just published his book, Embodying Light, and has permitted us to take some excerpts from it in future. Add Jeffrey’s voice to Sarah White’s yesterday and all the others who have come and are coming forward to demonstrate the shift in consciousness happening. (Look at that face!) Still as a mountain lake Still […]
No one “knows” what God is. I imagine only God does. The way I see the One, the Creator, Source, is as Intelligent Love. I use the words “Intelligence,” “Consciousness,” and “Awareness” as synonyms. I use the terms “Father,” “Mother,” and “One” as synonyms as well, in the following way: Imagine that I’m a passenger […]
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.

(Concluded from Part 3,) Our own channeled sources agree with our terrestrial sages. Matthew Ward tells us: “Your heart [is] the seat of the soul.” (1) Exactly so. Tazjima described it in 2013: “There is a secret space within your etheric body sometimes called the secret garden, the Holy of Holies, the secret chamber of […]
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 […]
Matthew Ward says: “The orderly functioning of the universe requires a continuous balancing act to keep vibrational frequencies from becoming lopsided, so to say; and, as microcosms of the universe who in every moment affect the state of it, souls have their own balancing acts. “[Karma] is the means whereby the last lifetime can be […]
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 […]
