Shadings (from “Life More Abundantly”)
Thursday, October 10, 2019 The energy aspect of the world – the definite but non-material-appearing reality that is as vital to maintaining the world as is the mineral or vegetable or animal kingdom – is, as we said, of two natures. I think you mean, its nature stretches to two extremes, one more mechanical, the…

Vast impersonal forces and us: an analogy
I was lying in bed, drowsing, when an association of ideas produced an image of my kitchen sink, with some dishes in it. The water was in spray mode (as through nozzles) rather than in one undivided stream. It occurred to me, that’s a visual representation of the non-3D and 3D worlds interaction. * The…

As things change (from “Life More Abundantly”)
Saturday, October 12, 2019 Evil is part of us, and yet that doesn’t excuse anything. Really, this is nothing new to religious thought, and it is ridiculous that contemporary society should need to have it explained yet again. Contemporary society is in the process of redefining its understandings, bringing them to a new level of…

Interim Report
Chapter 13. Interim Report So what does this whole book amount to? It doesn’t amount to proof of anything, that’s for sure. For all you know, I’m deliberately deceiving you, or am deceiving myself. My data may be wrong, my reasoning may be wrong, my “knowings” may be wrong, my conclusions may be wrong. As…

Headlines (from “Life More Abundantly”)
Tuesday, October 15, 2019 A chief source of confusion for people is how the “external” world can be really only an expression of unknown parts of themselves; and can be existent in and of and for itself. If this is once understood, many things clarify, because who and what you are clarifies. As long as…

Evil in life (from “Life More Abundantly”)
Wednesday, October 16, 2019 Shall we do more headlines, this morning? We can try. You will find this easier, and harder, than our usual plodding. Let’s see how it goes. When we speak of evil, remember that we refer not to appearance of evil, nor personal preferences rooted in one’s values, nor things that seem…

Cosmic tides and us
[Came across this while editing (for the final time, one hopes!) the forthcoming “Only Somewhat Real” manuscript. Tuesday, November 7, 2017 All right, since I have to be up anyway, I suppose we should begin. I know that doesn’t sound particularly gracious; you know I love doing this, but I’d be just as happy to…

Energy and opportunity
Talking with Jon Holt just now, I realized something that perhaps I have never said, and that ought to be said. That is, there is a time in one’s life when things are possible and a time when they cease to be possible. Keeping that fact in mind may serve as an antidote to the…

How to deal with what comes next
A drumming question from Wednesday’s Intuitive Linked Communication group. I asked, “What is ahead and/or how shall we deal with it? (What’s in it for us?)” The response I got: You are always in the eternal now; punctuation is not discontinuity. To deal with the future is no different than dealing with the present moment…

How to live in greater joy : Practical advice
A couple years old, but scarcely outdated. Friday, October 8, 2021 5:55 a.m. I thought we might look at what I got during our drumming session on Wednesday. “What is our path to greatest joy?” Openness, because openness is the opposite of shrinking from life. Joy is the path. Follow your bliss and it increases.…
