• So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (7)

    There isn’t any “there”! What I’m attempting to convey is so simple! So simple that when I do get the sense of it across, it is as though I haven’t said anything. People’s response tends to be, “well sure and so what?” In a way, that’s a perfect response, but in a way it is…

  • Living By Another Calendar

    When I posted an entry by my friend Karl Boyken on the benefits of decoupling from the “news” I got an email from another Monroe Institute  friend, Paul Blakey, whom I met at TMI back in 1995. Paul said, “I can certainly resonate with the blog topic. As a regular pond hopper (between Canada and the…

  • 2012 – the fantasy

    Given the interest readers showed in Paul Blakey’s post on how he uses the Mayan calendar in his daily life, I thought it worthwhile to post this comment on the movie 2012. Dr. Carl Johan Calleman is author of several serious books about the Mayan Calendar, among them The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness, a…

  • Growing Souls

    My friend Jim Price has an unusual prose style which he uses to clothe unusual ideas. He sent me this little piece which I liked well enough to ask if I might post it.

  • The Coming Evangelical Collapse

    Sometimes a blog can be a time machine. For some reason unknown to my conscious mind, a minute ago I went looking in the March 2009 Archive and found this, which I find extraordinarily interesting, and which I can’t quite remember reading, let alone posting. Gives me hope that my past-life review will be more…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (8)

    Not so individual after all Speaking of time and space and separation and delayed consequences was to lay the groundwork so that you may see more clearly that there are other ways of seeing us than as individuals.  

  • The Downside of Science Education

    Michael Tymn is a member of a forum I belong to. I don’t know him, but when I saw this, I asked permission to reprint it here, which he graciously gave me. Mr. Tymn said, “I wrote the below item yesterday for the commentary section of the Honolulu Star Bulletin. They probably won’t use it.…

  • ‘Neutralizing’ John Lennon

    This thoughtful and relevant Whitehead column quotes John Lennon:  “We’re not going to draw children into a situation to create violence so you can overthrow what? And replace it with what? It was all based on this illusion, that you can create violence and overthrow what is, and get communism or get some right-wing lunatic or…

  • Robert Clarke on the mythological/religious symbolism of dreams

    My friend Robert Clarke died in late October in his hometown in England, a merciful transition from life with a cancer-ridden body. Though he and I only met twice, we corresponded by email and he became a valued friend, in the long-distance way so many of us have friendships these days. I firmly believe that…

  • Robert Clarke on the Symbolic Meaning of Religion

    My good friend Robert Clarke, who died in October in England, had lived a rich inner life that included, by his estimate, 30,000 dreams that led him through the individuation process. He sent me two articles that he had written for his local newspaper that I think are of wider interest. The first, which I…
