Each time I sit down to write, my thoughts immediately move to the mind and heart; and where they are, for where your mind and heart is, is where you are. Every word that issues forth; indeed, every thought, is then given with the health and well-being of every human being in mind. The same intent is behind every natural…

Thoughts on God: Empowered in Oneness to Heal
Slot Canyon Contrasts, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Bringing Heartfelt Results into Being What are your thoughts on healing? Do you ever think about them? It doesn’t matter what form the healing takes. It could be to heal your body, a financially stressing situation, or a relationship. How about healing racial tension, political or religious strife and war? Or it could…
Read More'Homing In' to Real Solutions
Everyone has problems… or what we think of as problems. If we think of a situation as problematic, then it is. That is, until we see it differently. “Problems” are perceptions of duality; our take on what’s “right or wrong”, “good or bad,” “acceptable or unacceptable,” “pleasurable or painful,” etc. If your head is aching, and is intensely painful, you’ve…
Read MorePurdue Pharma Wrist Slap: 'Ho Hum' for the 'Status Quo'
Here’s something to make you think about what “best practices” in the pharmaceutical industry means these days. Ask yourself if you’d want to entrust your life to people who govern themselves by the ethos demonstrated below. Privately held Purdue Pharma, L.P. is a major player in the pharmaceutical game. Its web site claims that the company has long been “known for…
Read MoreOn 'Responding' with Fear, or with Spirit
I came of age during the turbulent 1960’s. It was a time of great social change where we went through the Cold War and the Cuban missile crisis, assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, civil rights protests that were then about equal treatment of all citizens instead of reversed preference for some. And then there was the war…
Read MoreSpheres of Consciousness in Matters of Health and Healing
Anyone who is on a regimen of prescription medication is aware of the dangers of drug interactions. This is where a substance affects the activity of a drug, or vice versa. There can be an amplifying or diminishing of effect or an entirely new effect that neither the drug, nor the substance, would produce on their own. Interactions are typically…
Read MoreThe Power of Meditation: The What, Why, and How
Apache Junction Afternoon, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. del.icio.us tags: meditation, philosophy, peace, change, continuum, universe, god ——- Meditation is one of those practices that I’ve observed over the years, and accepted as being beneficial, but didn’t really understand why. I didn’t understand what anyone could possibly get done by essentially sitting down, getting quiet, closing one’s eyes, and (apparently) doing…
Read MoreThoughts on Natural Health: Some Plain Talk
We live in an age where you’ve got to watch what you say, particularly in matters of human health. There are very sound reasons for the caution, as the human body is a complex organism, and the measures that modern medicine has taken to alter, obstruct, toxify, and otherwise tinker with its normal functioning in the name of health and…
Read MoreThoughts on Death: Fear and the 'Termination Factor'
Last night I watched Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which starred Arnold Schwarzeneggar, on the American Movie Classics (AMC) channel. Released in 2003, I wasn’t sure whether I had seen it before. The beginning looked familiar, but again, I wasn’t sure if I saw it all the way through to the end… until the climax, and I realized I…
Read MoreThoughts on God: The One Space Between Each Particle
Currently, I’m reading Diving Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief, by Gregg Braden. While he makes many points that merit reflection, one that is addressed early on is the subject of space. The vast universe that we observe, both macrocosmic and picocosmic, is predominated by what we perceive as “space.” Space predominates, and allows us to perceive and define…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Fear and the Matter of ET's
I’ve been quiet lately, but the mind has been racing. Actually, a high-speed mind race is normal for me. So this has been hyperspeed, faster than mind activity. It’s all been about me, and you… God, and “extra-terrestrials,” or ET’s. As an ideological protocol, if it ever was prudent for there to be a “separation” of church and state, there…
Read MoreThoughts on God: The Complementary Principles that Govern All Human Experience
Historic Maui Church, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Our disconnectedness with self… is the same as our sense of separateness from God. It leads us to believe that nothing we do matters. It allows us to justify choices and actions that perpetuate discordancy. An extreme example of discordancy is war. War is one of the things we focus much of…
Read MoreThoughts on God: On Transforming Life's 'S%&t'
There is more to why the proverbial “s%&t” of life happens. For example, in relationships, it’s more than romance “wearing off” and then the real drama starts. It’s more so that when sincerely seeking a companion or mate, we tend to be our truer selves, without expressing our “darker” sides. Once the deal is sealed, then “the rest of the…
Read MoreA Nano Thought: The One
As we realize the oneness of everything, we’ll see that there is no “happenstance” to anything. Only the veil of duality gives plausibility to such concepts as “luck,” “chance,” and “fortune,” both “good” and “bad,” and the relative value that we place on each. Everything and everyone, is connected, in the full spectrum of possibility and actuality. Such is the nature of…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Why 'S%&t' Happens
Last December I published an essay titled, Thoughts on God: When ‘S%&t’ Happens. After reading a flurry of books (the flurry continues, because three more are on the way), let’s take a “behind the scenes” look why “S%&t” happens. While many of you know exactly what I’m talking about, some of you might be inclined to ask, “What is ‘S%&t?’”…
Read MoreThoughts on Books: Seeding Mind with Heart
I’m in the latter stages of another in a series of remarkable books read lately, titled, Heart of the Christos: Star Seeding of the Pleiades, by Barbara Hand Clow (Bear & Co.). This quote, in the chapter titled, “Medicine Woman,” eloquently encapsulates the present dilemma, and opportunity facting humanity today. …we are living in a new world now, in which the…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Dealing with the Day-to-Day
For some, it might seem reasonable to think that musings on such subjects as God, love, oneness, and equality of beingness have no practical place in the day-to-day scheme of things. After all, we’ve got any number of other more “pressing” issues to think about. However, the fact is, our thoughts on God, relative to who we are, have everything to…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Beliefs That Indicate We DON'T Know Who We Are
From time to time it occurs to me to raise the importance of questioning of “who” and contemplating “what” we are. It is FAR MORE important than many of us would really want to think, especially since most of us don’t know whether we know who we are, or not, since all of us may THINK we know. Even me.…

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…
