Bringing Our Highest Self ‘Out of the Closet’ with Love America’s forefathers had the profound wisdom to inculcate a fundamental separation of “church” from matters of “state” into the very fabric of governance. How could the other foundations of freedom, such as of assembly, worship (or not to), and speech (including the press), be ensured if a religion — doesn’t…

Thoughts on Self Mastery: Desire, Belief, and Intent
When presented with examples of what might constitute self-mastery… such as the ability to heal a cancerous medical condition, transform an abusive relationship, or confronting what we perceive to be an extremely negative, unreachable, or even evil situation, it is easy to tell ourself that if this is mastery, it’s beyond our ability. In essence, we can’t. Though we might believe the…

del.icio.us tags: god, mastery, change, healing, existence, good, love, duality Like the act of breathing, where life rides upon the rhythmic indrawing and release of air and energy through the body, I experience the rhythms attendant to the growth in my own awareness, through significantly intent times of reading, and then releasing that which would be expressed through writing. There…
Read MoreLet's Play 'What If'… An Education in Beingness
del.icio.us tags: Existence, Being, Education, Humanity, God, Religion Imagine what our world might be like if we started considering, learning, and appreciating what our divine nature naturally allows us as human beings? Imagine what it would be like if we started practicing it from Breath One, and consciously continued doing so through the last? Such training need not rely on any specific system…
Read MoreMoving Beyond 'Surviving,' to Succeeding
The time when “the will to survive” was prime, has given way to the time when “the will so succeed” prevails. We’ve always wanted to succeed, but often was bogged down in figuring out how to survive. Then, even when we did figure out how to survive, all we had accomplished was to succeed at surviving, which is no fun. However,…
Read MoreForgiving a Madman, Releasing the Madness
In a blaze of gore, Sueng-Hui Cho went from anonymous to infamous in a matter of minutes; a “nobody” in his mind, to a somebody in ours, whose name is on the lips of a nation, and around the world… whose image, and madness became the subject of prime time television. In their silence, the victims don’t get nearly the…
Read More'Truth' A Video World Premiere
My earlier reference to muscle testing as a way to discern truth led to additional thoughts, which I began writing in Scriptware, a screen writing software program I use for voice over narration. One thing led to another, and a remarkable video came into being. I have christened it, “Truth.” [googlevideo=”http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9035171018429514647&hl=en”] Whether you agree or disagree with the words, if…
Read MoreConsidering the Possibilities of Our God-ness
Technorati tags: God, Being, Identity, Humanity, Existence In many of these essays I invite each reader to consider the question of who and what we are. Why? Because the answer has everything to do with what we will allow to be possible in our lives. Irrespective of what anyone else does, successes or failures, you are the prime director of what…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Consciousness, Observation, Inner Truth, and its Amplification
Technorati tags: Consciousness, Spirituality, Truth, Peace, Quantum Mechanics, Physics One of the central components to the science of quantum mechanics is the role of the observer. It is, in fact, remarkable that the observer is acknowledged as even having a role. The term, “observer” is a scientific euphemism for the human consciousness, which itself can be further broken down to…
Read MoreQuantum Health & Healing: EMF Balancing Technique
With so much attention given to disease, tribulation, retribution, and war, it is sometimes easy to overlook significant developments that can have a quieter, but perhaps more profound impact on our lives. Reading the Kryon material over the past several months (8 books so far and counting), quite a few awarenesses have become very real for me. Individually and collectively,…

del.icio.us tags: Peace, God, Philosophy, War on Terror, Freedom If you have taken an interest in the missives that I publish in this space, I want to thank you. I believe these ideas can be life changing, if we want to change our lives in joyful, magical ways. That was and is my desire in contemplating these issues, and in…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Standing Down the Military in Iraq
I’ve suggested that the wisest thing for president Bush to do would be to issue an order to STAND DOWN military action in Iraqi, as a matter of official and unofficial policy. This does not mean that our troups would become sitting ducks or target practice. It does not dishonor the troops, nor the United States. It is an action…
Read MoreThoughts on Love: The Greatest Power
Love is a power… not a force. In fact, love is the greatest power there is. Although we can’t touch it, everyone knows when it is present, and mourns when it is thought to be missing. Love is greater than any force, and it is available to all. Love can change the worst of situations into the best. That includes…
Read MoreThoughts on War: As the Wheel of Grief Turns
This past week, 60 Minutes broadcast a story on the massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha by four Marines led by 25 year old Staff Sargeant Frank Wuterich. Wuterich was charged with unpremeditated murder (killing without military justification), which will be decided by a military jury. If anyone should have been in the seat, answering questions of…
Read MoreWar as Yesterday's Way: Not Today's
Beingness and this Problem With Iraq Do you think my inquiry into, and discussion about “who we are” is an intellectual exercise? Think again. Every action we take revolves around our self-understanding, or lack thereof. Our willingness to express the wisdom of our own conscience, or simply blend with the ideological herd that is public opinion, indicates the extent to which we will…
Read MoreThoughts on Beingness: Who and What We Are
On Our Bodies, Beliefs, and Spirituality Who, or perhaps what do you think you are? It is so easy to assume that we are our body. We can go through an entire lifetime harboring this belief… living it… fearing death with it. We can define ourself by our body type, size, and coloration. We can dress our body in ways that…

Do you consider yourself a news junky? Okay… if you don’t feel comfortable being associated with the word junky, does the word addict feel better? The fundamental question is if “news,” of the personal, local, or national kind, is a prominent input source that goes into the evolution and maintenance of your worldview. If so, then God help you… and…
Read MoreThoughts on Forgiveness: a Preamble
I just finished reading, and highly recommend, a wonderful book; The Disappearance of the Universe, by Gary R. Renard. For me, it brought forth what is both a practical, and practicable approach to positive change. We understand that the term “love conquers all,” but how do we apply it day-by-day, moment-by-moment. It is through forgiveness… forgiving those who appear to have…
Read MoreThoughts on Positive Change: Endogenesis
Who to Look To, and Where to Start Our racial, ethnic, religious, political, or cultural affiliations may change over the course of our lives. Yet we will always be human beings. As such, it behooves us to embrace this truth early and often. Human relations, not race relations, are and forever will be both the greatest challenge and opportunity that…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Why Bother? (Part V)
Forgive, Forgive, Forgive There are answers to the question of why bother seeking peace, but they are not about bringing world peace. In other words, it’s not about achieving universal disarmament and creating a worldwide “touchy feeling goodness” moment. The answers come from within, mind by mind, heart by heart, as we learn and express forgiveness. This does not mean forgive…
