You know how things seems to come in waves? Like, the other day I saw three turtles in one day. We live in the woods, but even though the shelled reptiles are doing fine around here it’s rare to see more than one or two a year. They just aren’t very sociable. Like me. Tuesday […]
Enjoy Your Self!
July 29, 2014 By Leave a Comment
When somebody asks you if you had a good time (like if you went on a vacation to Hawaii, say), they ask “did you enjoy yourself?” What they’re really asking is whether you enjoyed the beach, the food, the experience. All the stuff around you when you were on vacay. More like, “did that […]
The Black Spot
September 30, 2013 By 4 Comments
When I was a boy I was an avid reader. I consumed (and was consumed by) any kind of adventure story – Last of the Mohicans, the Zane Gray books, Call of the Wild, and The Light in the Forest (which was based on real events in the very place where I lived) […]
Quantum Spirituality
August 20, 2013 By 6 Comments
Some of us have the ability to “just believe” from the get-go when we first begin to seek something outside ourselves. These fortunate souls simply dive in and sort it out later. If that goes well, they’ll eventually filter out what doesn’t seem to be true for them, and come to their own solid […]
Are You Too Special to Succeed?
July 19, 2013 By 2 Comments
One of the most prevalent and destructive subconscious beliefs that I see in many people (including myself at one time) is that they are different… special… the rules don’t apply to them. Now, this is a delicate and subtle area because we each are definitely unique and special, have widely divergent skills and […]
Do-It-Yourself Enlightenment?
July 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment
When it comes to development of any kind… spiritual, personal, mental, emotional… many of us try to go it alone at first. This is especially true of men, I think; and “smart” people of any gender have spent so much time learning that there is so much wrong information out there that they’ve come […]
Pardon Me, But Haven’t We Met Before?
May 20, 2013 By 2 Comments
Soul groups? There’s a lot of information and speculation out there around the topic of “soul groups”. As in anything along spiritual lines, there is no right or wrong, per se. One can’t positively “prove” any of the information, except to oneself. But you can work through the available concepts and see what makes […]
Life Mission vs. Life Purpose
March 6, 2013 By 2 Comments
You hear a lot these days about Life Purpose. I’ve written about it several times myself because it’s an interesting topic… and because I think that the term has been overused and some strange ideas have coagulated around it. Let’s Get (meta)physical… It’s not nitpicking to define the word “purpose” clearly here. In […]
Life Purpose: The School of Hard Knocks?
November 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I believe that the whole point of life on this planet is to have experiences on behalf of our Creator (Source, God, Consciousness…). At the same time, those experiences are intended to be the vehicle for us to learn and evolve; this is our basic life purpose. We perceive these as physical experiences, but the ultimate […]
Knowing Is Not Doing: True Mindfulness
November 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
If you’re reading this, you probably consider yourself to be “on a spiritual path”…or at least you’re interested. Maybe you woke up to spirituality last month…or 20 years ago. In either case you’ve probably been studying various frameworks and belief systems. You’ve read the Tolle, the Chopra, the Dyer, the Hicks. And maybe those studies have lead […]
