Toward a World that Works for Everyone
There exists a spectrum to how spiritual evolution is accomplished. At one end is what can be purely called “spirituality”; at the other, what can be purely called “growth.” What’s the difference between the two as terrestrials practiced them? Well, of course, everyone will have their own opinion and that’s as it should be. In […]
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 […]
The noises are inside of us It’s all me, not them and us Just true me and not true me — distinctions Through my meditative practice — gently bringing my wandering mind back — bring it back to heart center When not true me thoughts that have been internalized from the outer world, […]
There is a way of “looking past” all the stories a person might be telling themselves, past their “egoic structure,” and past all their pain and suffering and contracted self-concept. To what then? What is there? This is why music and art can be so powerful… They can embody what is there without resorting to […]
‘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 feel 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, […]
Happy Solstice tomorrow, everyone. The days are getting longer! … but speeding by faster! Again, the Pause has given me ample time for introspection. In a mood of introspection, I just caught myself saying something so significant that I stood there for some time immobilized. There was something about the way I was being socially […]
If one goes on a news fast at this moment, interestingly, it adds to the isolation. I do get that for a lot of people, increasing the isolation can be very difficult. Folks in marriages that aren’t working, folks unemployed, folks who can’t visit their hospitalized loved ones. I feel a responsibility to do the […]
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 […]
Every day comes a new revelation and we still have two weeks to go before the final event. Since we know the ultimate winner (the world) and the inevitability of the failure of dark plans, we can afford to stand back and observe. Or play a role in accountability if that’s our mission. The Divine […]
In the Universal Law of Give and Receive is a mantra that keeps expanding for me. I’ll use if for awhile, receive insights, and come back to it again and again for deeper understanding of 5th dimensional growth patterns about managing change. I have to say the mantra is a great one for right Now: […]
I’m finding there comes a time when a bridge is crossed. It’s one of many bridges, one of them being Ascension itself. (1) And, like so much else, for the experience to flower, I have to consciously recognize what’s happening. I have to move from unconscious awareness of the thing in question to conscious awareness. […]
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 […]
I walk around in a little bubble, a mini-environment, which consists of the range that my awareness takes in – my thoughts, my emotional states, the divine qualities, etc. Everything I can control from my mental laptop, complete with radar, heat sensors, attitude detectors, intuition, etc., is part of that “field of awareness.” Collectively I […]
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 […]
www.voiceoffreedom.ca Did you know the botanical meaning of the word corona? It is the cup-shaped or trumpet-shaped outgrowth at the center of a daffodil or narcissus flower. And its origin, in mid 16th century from Latin, is ‘wreath, crown’. When I think of the word crown, I imagine leadership. And trumpet? A blast of sound […]
