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…

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…
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…
An Alternative Reality for 2020
What is mine to bring into form for 2020? A great question to begin this new year and new decade. The usual way we begin a new year is with resolutions. My question is – what is the source of those resolutions? Do they come from what you see as not working from the previous…
The Power of the Power Within
There is a power within each of us; within every organ, every cell, every molecule, every atom of every life form on this planet. This power has been called many things throughout time and its name matters not. Those who are aware of this power know the depth and breadth of that power to be…
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…
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…
What are Brain Tracks and How Do They Influence Your Life?
Brain tracks run our lives. They support us in living a passionate and fulfilled life, they cause to live a life of ‘quiet desperation’ – or somewhere in the middle. What IS a brain track and why do I need to be aware of or even care about knowing what my brain tracks are? Most…
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…
Deserving or Not Deserving?
Today I heard a friend describe how she wasn’t deserving of a special love relationship in her life and had decided therefore that being in such a relationship wasn’t her ‘lesson’. My immediate RE-action was to say that was her ego mind talking, and what did ‘who she really was’ have to say about that.…
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…
Where Are You Looking?
It’s long been said – as you think so you are. Your thoughts are magnetic, and they attract more and more of where you place the majority of your thinking. Just look around you to assess where your thinking is focused. I read a good article recently about how racing car drivers NEVER look at…
There is No Reason for Happiness
…when I am rooted in ‘Being’. I heard this from Deepak Chopra when I was listening to a talk this morning. He actually said “If you are happy for a reason, then that is another form of misery, because that reason can be taken away from you tomorrow”. Any reason for happiness that is ‘out…
The Morning After!
It felt like the worst hangover I could ever have experienced, waking up the next morning to an America with a president-elect called Donald Trump. How could this be, in a world that I had seen as basically good and decent and honorable? How could hate, racism, misogyny, injustice and small mindedness win the presidency…
Peace, Love, Laughter and Harmony
“How can I be the change I want to see?” I have recently been participating in an online course by Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra called “Awakening to Higher Consciousness“. One of the sessions addresses how to live in a world where there is so much hate, hunger, poverty, war, greed and racism. Given I…
Is it True?
Living in the present moment is living in a world without stories, a world without attachment to thinking that says things and people should or shouldn’t be a certain way. This kind of thinking lives in the unconscious realm of learned beliefs about life, learned brain tracks. These are the stories we tell ourselves, and…
Presence and Personalities
In my inner world of connection with and being in Presence, it is much easier to observe brain tracks as they arise and to allow them to just be as they teach me to let go yet more of that which isn’t really me. Then comes moving out into the world of others: loved ones,…
