I write these words today while in the process of undergoing a fundamental change in my thinking, with an ever-deepening appreciation for the wonderful and powerful Gift that we have been given, that is, the Gift of Life itself. Life, which in truth, has no antithesis. Instead, Life takes an infinite number of forms. Everything is Life. Even the phenomenon…

A Planetary Fix We can Start on NOW
The year-end holiday season has become a month-long buying frenzy that would very likely go every day if a good reason could be found. In lieu of “good” reasons, there is no shortage of nefarious ways to get you to part with your money each day. The transportation industry’s ways to pick our pockets at will, would blow your mind,…
Read MoreA New Earth Vision Formed with All-Inclusive Love
Now that the 2012 election appetizer is over, we can get on to the main course. Some people are elated, some are terrified with Mr. Obama’s re-election. I’d like to suggest that there’s another position available, which is exemplified by a growing, but unacknowledged plurality, i.e., those whose vision for a balanced, re-harmonized, detoxified, abundant, safe, and peaceful world, is…
Read MoreA Grand Time for Lovefulness and to Know One’s Self
I don’t know about you, but in spite of all the perfectly valid reasons to be fearful about: “the end” that appears to be upon us, what is actually about to begin, the chaos that is everywhere threats that face humanity, and whether there’s anything we can do about it, or whether there’s time, This is a GRAND time. While…
Read MoreA Government for the CityState, Not the People
The governance organization based in Washington, DC could be and should be declared broken. The president said in the final “debase,” that his first mandate is to keep the American people “safe.” (Mr. Romney seems to agree.) If we are to believe them, then the vast panoply of bureaucracies that represent the Federal government is, in effect, a broken arrow. If the…
Read MoreMoney Obsession and the Appearance of Good Deeds
With what appears to be more frequency than an NPR pledge drive, picking up groceries at Safeway is eventually going to mean being asked to make a donation for cancer research, twice. If you’re using your ATM card to pay for your groceries, you’ll need to press a “Yes” or “No” button on the checkout terminal in order to get…
Read More2012 Election: A Mockery of Democracy
In its beginning I thought of YouTube as a haven for mindless information, but it is only a reflection of where human minds are. Fortunately, there are many who now use the medium that YouTube provides, to put out information of a richness and diversity you’ll find nowhere else. Right before our eyes we’re witnessing a gross example of government…
Read More‘Standard of Care’ by Whose Standard?
I have had the ongoing pleasure of regular conversations with Grant, who I referred to as “The Dot Connector” or “GM” in two videos thus far. He is truly an intelligent man. Although I don’t do it every time, each time we talk warrants recording, as invariably, something new to me, or a new take on an existing perception, will…
Read MorePolitics and Common Sense: “Oil and Water?”
One of the two political conventions to nominate the next president of UNITED STATES CORPORATION is done, with one to go. Before the cameras, the entire world could see behind the façade of unanimity within the Republican party. Control? Yes. Force? Yes. Unanimity? No. Determined not to risk allowing even a dose of common sense to be broadcast into the…
Read MoreCuring 'Reactionism' through Stabilized Imagination
Alex Jones hosts a nationally syndicated news/talk show based in Austin, Texas. You may already be familiar with him. From time-to-time I’ve listened to his highly-amped commentary. Needless to say, while we may agree on a range of issues, our styles are very different. The video linked below was produced July 26, 2012. By the title, RED ALERT: AMERICA UNDER…
Read MoreRise of the Disillusioned
Disillusionment, or to be disillusioned, is generally considered to be a negative state. Indeed, once disillusioned, an individual’s “happiness index” is likely to go down for a time. Seeing the world differently, particularly when the heart is caring, means seeing and caring for the whole. It is the height of illusion to care only for some, such as “us good…
Read MoreFDA: Agency that has Lost Its Way
I was invited to write an article for the MMS story that the US~Observer is publishing. Don’t know when it’ll be published, but you can read it here: ~~~~~ The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did the public a great service in July 2010 when it published its official warning to consumers against the use of the product that…
Read MoreUS~Observer Prepares to Cover the MMS Story
The story of MMS and Daniel Smith has caught the attention of the US~Observer (www.usobserver.com), an investigative reporting newspaper based in Grants Pass, OR that is particularly concerned with wrongful prosecution, and after reviewing Smith’s case, prepares to balance the editorial scales. The paper is planning to publish a series of articles on the case, outlining the FDA’s actions in…
Read MoreA Turning Point for MMS in the Media?
Today marks another milestone in the story of the Miracle Mineral Solution, coined by Jim Humble as “MMS” with the publication of the first newspaper article to which the word neutral would apply. At the very least, Chris Stein’s article in the Pacific Northwest Inlander, titled, “When a ‘Miracle’ Meets the FDA”, suggests, at least by his tag line, that…
Read MoreThe Inner Universe: ‘Most Relevant Frontier’
While we focus our attentions here on the inner world, much is going on in the world around us involving subjects that are of great interest and importance. Yet, as much as I’d love to call your attention to these subjects, such as the “reboot” of the financial system with its associated resignations and mass arrests, the major deception that…
Read More‘FDA Protection’ At Work v. MMS
I’m going to start right here by saying it deeply saddens me to feel that the image above is an appropriate representation of events that are reported below, but that’s how I see it. For almost two years I have followed, with minimal comment, the saga of Daniel Smith of Project Green Life, who the FDA sought to make an…
Read More2012: The Beginning of ‘the End…’
No, not the end of the world, but of speculation. Now we get to change all the question marks into periods and exclamation points. Welcome to 2012. It’s been quite a wait. Not just for the past year, but for millennia. Now the prognostications and prophesies about 2012 can be laid to rest; and we can go about the business…
Read MoreApple's Brightest Light Dimmed
As I took photos of just my second Apple product ever, a tiny iPod Nano that has become part of my vision for a new concept in healing and well-being modalities (more on that soon), the announcement was broadcast on my car radio that Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer Inc., had passed away at a brief 56 times around…
Read MoreFrom Outrage to Liberation by Imagining New Ways to Heal
There was a story today on NPR about the chord that the book, Time For Outrage! by Stéphane Hessel, is having on readers around the world. Hessel has seen and experienced more than his share of injustice in his 94 years, and lived to tell about it. Sales of his booklet have skyrocketed in his native France and around the…

NORMAN, OK — As fate would have it, I was one of the estimated 1.5 million people who travel from city-to-city in America each day on the tenth anniversary of the now infamous demolition of the World Trade Center complex in New York City on September 11, 2001. While some drama was noted on a few flights, my flight went…
