Some people who make art consider it a spiritual practice. For them, it’s more than just a fun activity. It’s a way to express who they are while connecting with something profound deep within them. Being creative allows them to venture into their mind and soul, forming a vital connection that many people are sadly […]
To me, spirituality is more than a fad or a way to appear wiser than I really am. I use it as inspiration to improve myself. Some teachers say that trying to change yourself at all is misguided and pointless. They believe that spirituality – Zen in particular – is about accepting who you are […]

As any writer will tell you, creating something worth reading is a long and arduous process. It’s not easy, and the long periods of silence and isolation it requires would deter most people from pursuing it. Writing mostly involves staring aimlessly at the paper, computer screen, etc. waiting for something genuine to come through. This […]
I wrote the following for the 208th issue of The Culture of Awareness Weekly Newsletter, a paid weekly newsletter I offer for $11.11 a month. To begin for this week – I’d like to share some thoughts on two concepts relevant in the spiritual community: image worship and the flow you can tap into when you […]
If you think the idea of cannabis as a sacrament that’s used to become one with God is silly, consider that this is exactly what it’s been used for throughout history.

My fellow creative minds probably know what I mean, and we feel like something’s missing if we aren’t hard at work. It’s as if creativity feeds the soul. Writers don’t feel complete if they don’t write every […]
