Oneness and Reason In a sermon that aired on local television while I was on a trip to Arkansas, an evangelist described Heaven as a place that is “paved with gold,” where the weather is always fair, there is no illness and pain, and we’re always with God. While I can understand the appeal of hurricane free weather and freedom…

Thoughts on God: Evil and the Allness
Whither Go Oneness? The cosmology presented by this writer suggests that “God-ness” comprises and permeates ALL existence. As such, one quickly wonders what role does evil play, or whether in fact, there is such a thing as evil? The short answer is that “evil is as one believes.” More questions arise. If all is God, then does that include evil?…
Read MoreThoughts on the Holidays
Keeping Up With Expectations? During the holiday season, do you find yourself “buyin’ to keep from cryin’?” Or, if you’re not able to “buy like there’s no tomorrow,” does it get you down? The better question is do you allow or permit yourself to be down on such occasions? It’s not unusual if you do. The season of good cheer…
Read MoreThoughts on Life: Awakening to the Highest Intent
The Moment as Essence of Synchronicity Every moment is synchronous, although it may not seem that way. That’s because accepting the synchronicity of each moment would require that we reassess and release judgment, precious judgement; judgment that we have used to define us, judgment on what is “right” and what is “wrong,” who is “right” and who is “wrong,” who…
Read MoreThoughts on Peace: Spreading the Virus
Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Wo/Men What a thought. What an idea. Impossible, you think? I think not. Question is, what would Peace on Earth look like? Here’s what it would look like to me. It begins within myself, the only place where I have a modicum of “control.” We might conceive of Peace on Earth in terms of…
Read MoreTransdermal Magnesium Townhall: Video Snippet I from Sedona
A few days ago I watched an infomercial for a new book, The World’s Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets. The show featured veteran Today Show host, Hugh Downs, with editor, Arthur P. Johnson, talking about the “secrets” that are revealed in the book. It appears to be a 500+ page compendium of articles written by doctors on a wide variety…
Read MoreDivine Equation: The Infinite Power of One
A few days ago an equation flashed in my mind. While it is a bit difficult to describe in this medium, the equation was that the number 1, raised to the infinite power, is equal to 1. In other words, 1 times 1 times 1, multiplied out to infinity, will always be equal to 1. I believe there is a…
Read MoreThoughts of God: Considering the 'Allness of All'
Oneness as God: Reason to Believe The subject of God and our relationship thereto, is all pervasive and involves every aspect and detail of our life. If we are God, expressing as “You” and “Me,” then the subject must be all pervasive. Its relevance cannot be limited to Sunday or mid-week worship, or to prayers at the dinner table or…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Cellular Beings in Divine Body
Welcome to ‘God R Us’ Some elements of life are so much part of who we are that we overlook them as factors when we wish to affect change. My assertion that we are each, in fact, God expressing in human form, sounds too simple or improbable for many to embrace. “I can’t be God,” I’m sure many people are…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Holographic One on Oneness
There are some who will question, take exception to, and even ridicule the notion that he or she, or you or I am God expressing consciousness in human form. That’s okay. I questioned for many years before seeing this as the only viewpoint that truly made sense… that *felt* right to me. I don’t question it now. I did not…
Read MoreVideo: 'Life Rhythms' – Drumming in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
While I suspect that it is a great place to live, San Francisco is a wonderful city to visit, which I’ve done on several occasions. I’ve had the pleasure of not only seeing, and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, but of walking across too (both ways). Of course, neither the Golden Gate, nor Fisherman’s Warf are the only attractions.…
Read MoreTransdermal Magnesium Overview Video
Well folks, the turnout for our Transdermal Magnesium town hall events was impressive, particularly in Sedona, given the newness of the subject and the holiday season. One physician in attendance, supporting my comment on the overlooked importance of magnesium to our health, estimated that 85% of the population is magnesium deficient. She acknowledged that her profession, on the whole, is…
Read MoreWonderful Dreams and ‘the Practice Principle’
NOTE: I wrote this essay in November, 1998. Favoring Meaning Over ‘Ease’ It is far easier for one to go through life believing that they are powerless to make a positive, meaningful difference, than it is to go through life understanding, and even knowing that they can, and do influence others every single day. It is far more convenient to…
Read MoreThoughts on Race and Humanity, Part V
NOTE: This is essay #14 from my book, A Freed Man: An Emancipation Proclamation (ISBN 0-9700209-0-2 PHAELOS BOOKS $17.95). Message From a ‘Black Hole’: Ponder Racialism On Making a Conscious Change The subject of race is the ideological “black hole” of our times. So huge is the concept’s “gravitational pull” on our collective perception of reality, it seems to insatiably…
Read MoreTraveling the Spaceways Video Intro from The Hideout (Chicago)
Although I’ve got plenty to write, I’m really likin’ this video thing. I’m still learning what works best for different situations. For example, YouTube has a 10 minute limit (may have as much to do with attention span as with space requirements). This will do for most situations, but Google Video doesn’t have that limit. So today, here’s another one…

Read MoreThoughts on Health, Healing, Spirituality and Being
Illness and the Appearance of Death, Natural Health and the Reality of Eternal and Internal Spirit Although it has occurred since the beginning of time, evidence is mounting which suggests that disease, particularly chronic illnes, is not natural to us. Instead, increased levels of toxicity and a long-term trend of nutritional deficiency, have contributed to our physical diseases. Evidence is…
