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.…

A Nano Thought: Personal Responsibility
Thoughts are powerful, even “small” ones. But then, is there such a thing as a “small thought?” I don’t think so. Whether positive or negative, intellligent or inane, thoughts are power because they are energy. The term “nano thoughts” came to mind for what follows. But since “size” isn’t really a relevant way to describe a thought, the term “nano” would more likely…
Read MoreThoughts on Health: Tuberculosis 'Gnosis'
The U.S. government has issued an “isolation order” for a man who contracted a drug resistant strain of tuberculosis, reported by Reuters, on fear that he may have exposed fellow travelers on two trans-Atlantic trips to the disease. This is the first time an isolation order had been issued since 1963, and illustrates how our collective ignorance, along with our…

An article published in the April 2007 edition of Discover magazine featured a reply that encapsulated what has been prevailing thinking in the medical community for too long. It’s available online: Autism: It’s Not Just in the Head. If this subject is meaningful to you, I know it will be of interest, and invite you to go there. Now, please…
Read MoreAwesome Places: Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center
A GETAWAY FOR THE SOUL Patagonia, Arizona — The “tree of life” is a term mostly associated with the Jewish system of Kabballah, whose literal interpretation means, “Received tradition.” According to its Wikipedia entry, the tree of life “is a tree in the Garden of Eden whose fruit gives everlasting life, i.e. immortality. This is a fitting metaphor for the…
Read MoreThoughts on Race and Equality: Arizona Civil Rights Initiative Announcement
On April 26, I attended a press conference in the rose garden in the State of Arizona capital building complex, where plans were announced to launch the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative, which would prohibit race-based preference policies and practices in such areas as university admissions and government hiring/contracting. Arizona was selected as one of five states (Oklahoma, Colorado, Missouri, and…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Religion, Spirituality and Beingness
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…
Read MoreThoughts 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: 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,…

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…

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…

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,…

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…
