I recently had a few conversations that provided stark evidence of what happens when we choose to keep ourselves in the “comfort” zone of pain. We can call this choice “subconscious”…but it’s really more properly an un-conscious reaction. It’s conditioning,, and it continues simply because we don’t take the time to examine and become aware […]
Determine your Own Worth
December 10, 2011 By 6 Comments
When I was a young man (which now means when I was 20 – 40 years old) working for small companies and large corporations, I had a lot of misconceptions. At first I thought the engineers were infallible since they were “professionals” and educated. I thought the corporate heads were unfailingly upright people who pretty near always knew what they were doing…after […]
Happy Appreciation Day
November 22, 2011 By 5 Comments
Every year here in the U.S. we set aside a day in November to celebrate abundance…and, we’re told, to give thanks for that abundance. Our political and religious leaders admonish us to pray and express gratitude for what we have in life. But exactly who or what is it that we’re thanking? It’s easy to […]
Little Hop-Toad and the Penny

As anyone who’s dealt with me for any length of time is aware, I’m big on the idea of physical synchronicities as being some of the most useful guideposts for us. Songs on the radio, street signs, the “11:11” phenomena… even cloud formations have served me well in the past. These signs can be useful in any number of […]
Phone Phobia: I Don’t Bite!
October 12, 2011 By 14 Comments
I was recently reminded of a phenomena that I’d best describe as “phone phobia“. It’s an irrational fear of speaking with strangers on the telephone; the roots of this fear are deep and subtle, yet it appears that many people are subject to it to some degree or another. I know whereof I speak. Growing up […]
Take the Long View to get the Big Picture

As many of you know, when I first began offering my services I identified myself as a Soul Realignment practitioner…and that was that. And that trademarked modality served me well for quite a while. It gave me a framework upon which to hang my natural intuitive talents. That work depends upon using a specific method […]
The Difference Between “Need” and “Want”
September 25, 2011 By 12 Comments
A very nice lady recently posted a comment on my Facebook page to the effect that she doesn’t always have what she wants, but she always has what she needs – and is satisfied with that. Fair enough – sounds like a peaceful way to live. But it got the wheels a-turning in my head; something didn’t […]
Consciousness and Responsibility
September 15, 2011 By 7 Comments
Life – both physical and spiritual – is all about constant change. As the old saying goes, you’re either busy being born or you’re busy dying (and in a physical sense you’re really doing both at the same time). This is self-evident in all forms of physical life, and it’s also true when it comes […]
Your Thoughts – The Bricks and Mortar of Your Life
September 2, 2011 By 7 Comments
When we begin to look for answers (especially in times of troubles), generally the topmost question we have is, “How did things get to be the way they are for me?” Many of us go through a stage where we blame other people, luck, and a million other things for what’s around us. But If we’re diligent […]
The New Idolatry
August 8, 2011 By 7 Comments
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we are told (via the Ten Commandments) that “Ye shall have no other gods before me.” Sounds simple enough…if one decides to subscribe to the “one true God” system of that and many other organized religions. Obviously, having God say this also provides an easy solution to the problem of competition […]
