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…

Thoughts 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: 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 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?’”…

California Condor Overhead, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. A Question…. Since there is One Mind, One Intelligence, One Brain…. AND …Since humankind’s ability to travel via flying has always been there….yet…. just manifested successfully in the last century…. How Do You Think The Day Will Come About When All Of Us Can FLY With Our Own Natural Bodies At…
Read MoreThoughts on God: Dealing with the Day-to-Day Pt. II
Examining Our Beliefs Cacti In Bloom, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Beliefs manifest on an individual as well as a collective basis. My beliefs — about myself, relationships, “women,” life, money, health, “right and wrong,” etc., supersede collective beliefs. They set the stage, and become perceptual filters for the interactions and relationships that I have day-to-day. The outer life…
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.…
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…

del.icio.us tags: god, mastery, change, healing, existence, good, love, duality Like the act of breathing, where life rides upon the rhythmic indrawing and release of air and energy through the body, I experience the rhythms attendant to the growth in my own awareness, through significantly intent times of reading, and then releasing that which would be expressed through writing. There…

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…

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…

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…
