Upon awakening in the mornings we become aware once again of THIS reality, our waking reality, a different experience from our sleeping state of being. It is as natural as breathing for us, in one moment we are ‘dead to the world’ and in the next instance we are...

Finding the balance between holding my own counsel vs. with-holding my truth, I seek to use words that create opening and understanding. This wasn’t always the case, I was consumed with the need to express myself, at times risking alienation and...

Changing the footing of our life work, our daily activities is a challenging process under any circumstances. But initiating such a change away from the premise that our life must be productive in order to be of value, is almost impossible. We are indoctrinated with...

We turn a tremendous amount of power over to our mind, seldom questioning the force behind our logic, our doubts, our proof from an endless supply of evidence based on past, present, unpredictable future. We rarely see these mental constructs for what they are,...

Every human on the planet, to some degree or another, has control issues. CONTROL is the force each of us exercise as a means to cope with life’s uncertainties. Some folks may be softer in their approach, couching their efforts as being assertive, or setting...

It is possible, nigh probable, that what we experience as the “fear of the Unknown” is really a case of mistaken identity. Some stalwart souls attempt to see such a fear from the ‘glass is half full’ perspective, reframing it to be the Great Mystery, the Unknown or...

Throughout all of human history we find the universal theme of “dis-ease” and throughout the same history, we are offered countless ways that humanity has strived to explain the source of this ‘dis-ease’ as a means of coping, if not eradicating the cause. What if our...

For many years I struggled with owning that I was a creative person, in fact I would defer to my sister as the ‘artist’, the person in our family who was the ‘creative one’. Eventually I was able to by-pass the whole inner debate, and came to an awareness of...

I had a mentor ask me this question about 30 years ago, and I’ve never forgotten it! Of course I wanted to be RIGHT! I had to be RIGHT, my life (so my ego thought) depended on being RIGHT! I was terrified of being wrong, of making a mistake, of being found out. ...

White Noise Machines aren’t called Black Noise Machines. Based on some sort of physics that enable sound waves to be muted or displaced, they provide a way for us to cover over unwanted sounds. Underlying conversations, thoughts, outside distractions and...

What if Love became something more than a Noun, something more than a Verb? Many people like to expand the power of Love by saying that Love is a verb, that it is more than an emotion, that it is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling, and that you have to put Love into...

There are moments in my Life when I desire beyond everything to be Standing in the Light. To be surrounded and enveloped by this column of golden/white light, that every place that I move, walk, sit, stand, have my Being that this column of Light travels with me. ...

It is a mistake to think that the purpose of being on a Spiritual Path is to “disappear the ego’. As long as one is in a human form, there is a purpose for having an ego, having a personality, a physical expression of our deeper Soul Light. So setting one’s heart...

An ex-partner once said to me that I had what it took (whatever THAT means) to have been wildly successful, and rich — the brilliance, creativity, etc. Then he followed up with: “So why aren’t you?” I was offended, not complimented – it was...

Today’s technology, for all of its magic, has a distinct down-side – providing infinite forums to help create the illusion of safety, we believe we have full freedom to convey our own true self without censorship, completely unhampered by others’ judgments which may...

For years I lived in the certainty that the proverbial “shoe would always drop”. I never doubted that this was so; it was simply a matter of time. I lived in a perpetual state of tension, sometimes extreme fear, at other times a low-grade anxiety, but absolutely...

There is one thing that all of humanity has in common, one fact that transcends all cultures, races, religions, and socio-economic status: a Fear of the Unknown. And we collectively cope with this fear by creating a unified field of consciousness, something that we...

Remember that “Ruach” means Breath of Life/Spirit — and that Ruach surrounds your very Being, the gentle caress of the air against your skin, the breath moving in and out of your nostrils as you sit in meditation. Fall into the pool of sorrow and...
