It’s time! Just as there is a time when a child matures into adulthood and is ready to move out into the world and begin his or her own life, so too comes a time when the maturing soul becomes aware enough of the massive ego influence in the mind and is ready to move…

I AM the Eternal, Raw Ecstasy of Infinite Possibilities
Words matter. Unconscious words matter. Conscious words matter. Intentional words matter. Casual words matter. Thoughts you think no-one can hear matter. Words direct energy. Energy flows. A mass of thoughts by a mass of people can flow a mass of energy. Just look at the recent global protests. Look too at the fear and panic…
PAUSE – and Regenerate
Dr. Zach Bush in a Facebook post this morning speaks of the deep, mind-shattering pain running through the world in the wake of both the COVID-19 and the George Floyd murder by police. Dr. Bush very eloquently speaks of the suffering of so many and the inadequacy so many of us feel in the face…
Go Deep, Go Deeper
Into this mystery called Life. Duality and the deep inner knowing of who I AM has never been as clear to me as during this escalating world pandemic crisis. I have watched myself, along with so many others, get drawn into the news of the moment, into the shock and grief and too often –…
Life Itself is the Dancer, I am the Dance
The question isn’t what is my dance? Or how do I dance? The question is can I let go of ego-mind thinking enough to allow the dancer I AM to flow through every atom of this body in abandoned bliss, so creating and expressing the purpose of this lifetime? I first heard this concept of…
Where There is Fear, Faith Cannot Live
It’s a kind of old fashioned word, faith, and it is perhaps one of the most powerful components of awakening to who we really are. Escaping the torture of the monkey mind is a part of the process of awakening – and often it isn’t until we are in a place of intense suffering that…
Everything Already Exists
To create a dream, all we have to do is carve away that which isn’t the dream, just as Michaelango said he did when he started work on a piece of marble. “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel…
The World I See is But A Projection of Me
Around the dining room table one evening amidst a group of friends in deep and meaningful discussion, I heard myself say, well, the world I see is merely a projection of me. The impression these words had on my psyche was instant – my granddaughter wrote them out for me and they hang to this…
In the End, Every Journey is a Spiritual Journey
Be it health, wealth, relationship, work or any other of life’s experiences and challenges. Some journeys are more obvious, learning to deal with the death of a loved one, facing a serious illness or other catastrophic situations like a hurricane or a divorce. Other journeys which we may not think of as journeys are some…
An Eternity of Infinite Possibility
They ripple through me – powerful vibrations of the frequencies of relief, joy and freedom. I see their box clearly from my perch on a new moon hanging in the inky blackness of an infinite void of foreverness, my trusty cocker spaniel companion by my side. This is my retreat, looking out into this all-powerful…
The Moon, My Dog and Me
The moon is new, its thin curve slicing into the darkness. My cocker spaniel buddy, Cinco, sits on this curve alongside me looking out into the infinite darkness of nothingness that stretches out into eternity. I sit there, legs swinging below the edge of the moon, my arm around the warmth of the wee body…
Evolving Into Presence
Life Itself flowing abundantly through this body it has created, IS ALL THINGS. Nothing can be added and nothing can be subtracted. Evolution is what happens when the soul moves by desire. Some teachings say to be desireless – I like to think of desire not as something to want, such as an ego desire…
‘Maybe’ – A Pathway to Non-judgment
Judgment begins with naming things. First we name and then we assign values. The world then becomes how things are, have been and should be, according to mind. Eckhart Tolle talks of taking a walk in nature, looking at the trees and flowers and practicing not naming them – just seeing them, experiencing them. The…
Getting to Neutral Through Non-Attachment.
When we are attached – to thinking, people, places, situations, things, health, money, status, to name just a few attachments – we end up believing that our happiness depends on the having of those things and the not-having becomes a cause of suffering and unhappiness. (Or the reverse). There are 3 tenets of Buddhism that when…
The Hands Have It! Using Your Hands to Wake Up.
Have you ever thought of your hands as an entry point into the present moment? Recently reading Russel Williams in Not I, Not Other than I: The Life and Teachings of Russell Williams, brought this truth to my conscious awareness. He is answering a question about evolving gradually towards a spiritual state as opposed to…
True Freedom: Releasing Likes and Dislikes
How likes and dislikes color our days, our decisions and our peace of mind. I travel a lot throughout the USA in a motor home and have done so for many years. It’s a 34 ft (10.5 m) motor home and I tow a car – so while it’s not a big rig as we…
Creating Space for Presence / Life Itself to Flow
Are you willing to stop mid-flight in the busyness of your days and create space for Presence / Life Itself to flow, even just for a moment or two, a minute or two? It takes time and commitment to free yourself from the noisy mind that controls our day-to-day living through our learned brain tracks.…
Likes and Dislikes – A Path to Now
An enormous depth in my understanding and awareness of the Present Moment has been opening up recently for me. Michael Singer‘s online course “Living From a Place of Surrender” is responsible for this opening. I absolutely love his description of how life from the big bang on has invested 35.8 billion years in the making…
Integrity – Are You In or Out?
It’s funny where inspiration comes from. Here I am having committed to an 8 week boot camp with a program called Bright Line Eating, which is about healing addictions to flour and sugar and creating a healthy, thin and free lifestyle and I find myself diving into new depths of understanding how integrity works or…
Becoming a Rat Catcher!
I have become a rat catcher! It’s absolutely awesome. Who would have thought rat catching could be such fun? Recently I was engrossed in a project and I made a mistake. I suddenly heard in my head “You ALWAYS do that. What is the matter with you? Dummy!” “Gottcha!” I yelled. Luckily there was only…
