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…

Thoughts 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…

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
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 MoreA 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…
Read MoreThoughts on Health: Autism, Closed Minds, and The Magnesium Factor
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: 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…
Read MoreLet's Play 'What If'… An Education in Beingness
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 MoreJeff Lorber and Brian Bromberg at the Buttes, Pt. III
The last of this series. Here, the duo perform the title tune from Lorber’s CD, “He Had a Hat.” [googlevideo=”http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5715575071379701782″] Before they start, I included some comments that Bromberg shared with the audience, that everyone should hear. Children are naturally creative (as are adults). The difference is that children do not naturally stifle their creativity. Our education system does that…
Read MoreJeff Lorber and Brian Bromberg at the Buttes, Pt. II
This was a special night because the artists allowed us to capture the magic of that one performance, which is rare these days unless you’re paying $50 a seat or more. The beauty is that every performance is unique, and carries its own magic, if the artists bring it. [googlevideo=”http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6553050162096726120″] In my first entry on this event, I mentioned that…
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,…

Radio station KYOT (95.5 FM), the main listening stop for smooth jazz in the Phoenix area, is heavily involved in promoting the genré via concert series and performances throughout the year. They have formed alliances with some of the fine hotels or resorts around town and created a place for their jazz and live music loving listening audience to get…

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…
