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…

Thoughts 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…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Why Bother? (Part IV)
It is possible that this series has continued to raise questions instead of bring on any definitive reasons why we should bother believing in, or seeking peace, especially since the “best minds” and strategists seem doggedly intent on doing it by bribery, coercion, intimidation, demonstrations of military might and war waging. In the now famous Dr. Phil-ism, I’d ask the…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Why Bother? (Part III)
There are millions, if not billions of citizens around the world who, if they acknowledge that there is one God, still want to believe that their particular take on God is the truest one. While most religions are expressions of a single syndrome which might be characterized as “nearer to Thee,” the syndrome itself is founded in duality, dichotomy, separatism…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Why Bother? (Part II)
The purpose of this treatise, started with Part I, is to examine why peace may be important, or question whether it really is. It seems to be very important. Every fiber of our soul seems to call for it, but we’re certainly not doing it. We’re at odds everywhere. We even have a breed of warriors who refer to themselves…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Why Bother? (Part I)
While it will come into view again before you know it, the Christmas holiday season is definitely in the rear view mirror now. So it’s a great time to explore the subject of Peace… World Peace… or Peace on Earth. Can you think of a practical reason to have peace beyond “it feels good?” The question is worth giving serious…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Reflections on Soul
My recent post of The ‘Mechanics’ of Non-Physicalness and The ContinuuM Concept and Finding One’s Dream, both written in 1997, included thoughts and context about the soul that made sense to me. It wasn’t presented as the absolute final word for understanding what the soul is, and its relationship to you and me, but perhaps the beginning. Some of you…
Read MoreThoughts on Death: The ‘ContinuuM Concept’ and Finding One’s Dream
[NOTE: I wrote this essay the day before writing “The Mechanics of Non-Physicalness“. There was dual meaning in how I used the word ContinuuM, for I also published a magazine by that name. This essay never made it into the magazine, as only two issues were ever published. New additions are enclosed in [brackets].] A Universe of Everlasting Love Technorati…
Read MoreThoughts on Death: The True Reality of Spiritual Life
[NOTE: After posting my first thoughts on death, here are some more esoteric thoughts along those lines. I originally wrote this essay in 1997. It will be interesting to see where or how my concepts have changed, if at all, in the intervening time. I will note any new additions in brackets [ ]. The subject touches all.] The ‘Mechanics’…
Read MoreKryon Live in Tucson
Part I Tucson Arizona offers many places to stimulate a sense of history, beauty, and awe, and our recent journey to Southern Arizona’s principle city did all that, and more, but in a way that you might not expect. We attended author Lee Carroll’s annual visit to Arizona who, both as a speaker and channel for Kryon, took us on…
Read MoreThoughts on God: A Pornography & Allness Follow-up
This is a follow-up dialogue to the earlier series of posts on a sensitive subject. I have put additional comments, that didn’t appear in the actual dialogue, in [brackets]. Dear MR, Thank you for your energy. MR. I suppose I do have an agenda. My agenda is the furtherance of the consciousness of unity in, through, and as all of…

This the fourth and last part of a my response to a reader’s questions that were sparked from reading Thoughts on God: Ending Religion’s ‘Eminant Domain’on the Idea. His questions are indented and displayed in blue. It is strange because I am not against porn per say but there are these nagging questions such as; is it ok to have…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Pornography and Allness (Part III)
This is the third installment (of four) of my response to a reader’s questions after reading Thoughts on God: Ending Religion’s ‘Eminant Domain’on the Idea. Pornography is celluloid prostitution nothing short and nothing more. It actually is more than that. It is society collectively showing/revealing a valid and actually sacred side of itself that is generally under wraps, if not…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Pornography and Allness (Part II)
This is the second installment (of four) of my response to a reader’s questions after reading Thoughts on God: Ending Religion’s ‘Eminant Domain’on the Idea. People do what they feel they must do to survive. Is this God expressing? Of course. However we choose to experience life we are also and simultaneously experiencing God. I agree with this 100%, and…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Pornography and Allness (Part I)
This is a response to some great questions I received from a reader on Thoughts on God: Ending Religion’s ‘Eminant Domain’on the Idea. Turned into a treatise on a treatise. For ease of reading and reflection, it is presented in four entries.
Read MoreThoughts on God: Reconciling the 'S%&t'
Commenting on my post, Thoughts on God: When ‘S%&t’ Happens (12/27/2006), NJ poses the following question: I just read “Thoughts on God: When ‘S%&t’ Happens,” and it struck deep. I’d like to ask you, how do you reconcile “I am responsible for everything in my life.” (I create/attract the good stuff and the S%&t.) and “God is responsible for everything…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Ending Religion's 'Eminant Domain' on the Idea
[I started this essay a few days ago, then set it aside, as it does deep, perhaps deeper than I was ready to go. On the other hand, if I limit the depths of myself that I’m willing to share, then I limit the heights to which I can soar. Connect always to the spirit behind these words.] While I…
Read MoreThoughts on Life and Love
Who/What We are I don’t know about you, but to me, the most important achievement that I can make during my life experience, is to find out who, or what I am, and perhaps, where I came from. I say “perhaps” on the last point because understanding the other two can make “specifics” about the last one a moot point,…
Read MoreThoughts on God: When 'S%&t' Happens
Sit a spell and relax. Here’s a nice place for ya. Have you ever noticed the subtle or sometimes blatant suggestion that if anything “goes wrong” in our life, then it’s an indication that we haven’t “embraced God enough?” We haven’t praised Him enough, or we haven’t accepted His only begotten son as our Lord and Savior. Or perhaps we…
