  • Who Has Fear?

    Who Has Fear?

    Is anyone experiencing an emotion in a chronic way that they don’t like? Yeah, would you define fear as an emotion? Yes, I would. I’m not fond of fear, and being introverted, it scares me to say something though it doesn’t always stop me. Involuntary introversion is fear. First, everyone recall a moment in which…

  • Who Is Impatient?

    Who Is Impatient?

    Everyone recall a time in which you were impatient. Everyone who stands in a line getting groceries?  Especially if you went shopping while you were hungry. Now ask yourself this, who is it that’s being impatient? The ego in a hurry. Seems like it’s related to habit. It is all related to habit and judgment…

  • All You Need

    All You Need

    Now here is a big revelation, and yet is perhaps the most simple truth I know. How many emotions do you have? Probably an infinite number. Countless or one? I’m not sure I can feel more than one at any time. Is true, and well they say God is love right? They also say that…

  • Sense of Identity

    Sense of Identity

    The subject is identity. It’s a pretty intense issue. When asked about who they are people often just say “I’m me”, and this is true, but in all likelihood they carry around identifications with roles and feelings and circumstances even if they aren’t paying attention to them. So, how much of the identity issue is…

  • Who Is Me?

    Who Is Me?

    What is this me?  There is a simple practice of inquiry that can lead to very deep insight. What is this me, and who is asking? It’s me. Yes, but we often still get caught up in life, even if we understand this inquiry it just seems easier. We get distressed and just go on…

  • Good Enough

    Good Enough

    By definition, is anything you can observe, you? Or is it something you have? Are your body and mind somehow in charge? Did you see something beautiful today? You only saw yourself. Did you see something ugly? You also only saw yourself, but these are not the true self. Self is self and all others…

  • Menu of Options

    Menu of Options

    I am venturing into a sort of complex area. We are often very used to looking at our own behaviour more from an externalized view. We are so used to it that we don’t often see that our perception is disconnected from our internal being. That we are seeing more how the world works and…

  • Connecting

    Connecting

    Connecting one to one is for understanding. That is the purpose, and really it’s the purpose to any human interaction. In the broader sense, they call it love. But the originating spirit in us, the level of consciousness that precedes our ideation about communication and life itself, is rarely apprehended or approached with much understanding.…

  • Planning

    Planning

    We plan too much and never live in the moment, and what does this planning ever really merit? Has anyone found meaning in plans that I don’t know about? But surely planning is important if we want to live? If no-one ever planted an apple tree intending for someone to eat apples in the future?…

  • You Are The Point

    You Are The Point

    When you succeed at a goal even though it didn’t go like you planned, do you gain as much as if everything goes according to plan? Do you learn anything from your successes? You learn more from disasters, and your originating spirit doesn’t actually care about anything other than the goal or the finished product.…

  • Being True To Spirit

    Being True To Spirit

    What would life be like if everyone had a job they loved from their spirit? It‘s really crazy that we live the majority of our life “putting in hours” to get money. And doing things that seen in the big picture we would not approve of another doing. Maybe in Second Life we find people…

  • Originating Spirit

    Originating Spirit

    Spirit was originally the concept of an active agent. Spirit was anything that caused things to happen and was not some abstract, lifeless force. Quite the opposite. In the old world, things being guided by life was just a given. Our ancestors had good instincts, even if they were mostly busy surviving. They also had…

  • Be An Artist

    Be An Artist

    Anyone not have impulses? I know I do, and aren’t artists known for being impulsive? It’s almost a stereotype. Well, it is true, and any artist can tell you the difference between you and them is not what’s in your head, but how they feel about it. For an artist, an impulse is powerful like feeling…

  • Don’t Worry, Be Crazy

    Don’t Worry, Be Crazy

    The literal meaning of cult is a body of practices. Cult culture. The culture cult is a huge cult, and they fear cultists. Cultists are doing culture a huge favour. They need the cultists to believe their cult is sane, because culture and our educated thinking only seems stable in the contrast, not by itself.…

  • Preserve Inspiration

    Preserve Inspiration

    Your memory, as we are taught to use it, has been taken up with your thinking. It wasn’t meant for that. Memories original purpose was to allow ourselves to retain impulses and sensory impressions. To keep us in touch with our inner and outer worlds. Not to be a stage for us to rehearse our…

  • Harming None

    Harming None

    The topic is indulgence. At first, I want to start by distinguishing between indulgence and compulsion. Compulsory behaviour is actually very common. A lot is even considered normal thus “common sense”, but it reflects a degeneration of human awareness on all fronts to my view. An abdication of personal responsibility, and an excuse to not reflect…

  • Profound Wisdom

    Profound Wisdom

    There is wisdom in what we were born as, and there is wisdom in what many of us on deaths threshold realize was true of life. The confusion tends to be mostly in the middle, while we are busy being “good grown-ups”. As a Hospice volunteer, I did see some realizations and some denial. Oh,…
