• So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (9)

    Energy signatures and the guys upstairs  I had a conversation with a skilled professional psychic who can read cards and tea leaves with skill sufficient to be worthwhile – yet she said she envies me my access!  That made me think. I have come to experience access to guidance as an everyday reality. It no…

  • Paul Blakey: More on the Dreamspell calendar

    When Paul Blakey posted a response to “So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (9)” I emailed him, “Would you care to say more, in the form of an entry I could post? Your previous one sparked quite some response.” Here is his response. 

  • Kindred Souls

    God bless the Internet! Like the roads of the Roman Empire, it serves purposes that never occurred to its designers. My friend Nancy Ford sent me a group email she had received, passing on the Chief Joseph Newsletter. I hadn’t heard of it, so followed the link backwards to the “about” page. Reading John Cali’s…

  • When science and religious beliefs conflict

    This interesting article from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (found via one morning’s Schwartzreport) may be found at http://pewforum.org/docs/?DocID=275. (The original includes charts that I can’t figure out how to get into this post.) It is interesting not least as an unconscious indicator of the bias known as scientism. The article says,

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (10)

    Our connections and what they can accomplish Outside time-space, neither separation nor delayed consequences apply. Since we exist part in and part out of separation, it is helpful to realize that a vital part of our nature exists on the other side. It will save you from the superstition of thinking you are an orphan…

  • Obama’s Peace Prize speech

    I don’t usually insert anything even vaguely political in this blog, though I have plenty of comments in my newsnet email list that I send around to long-suffering friends. But  President Obama’s speech to the Nobel Peace Prize committee transcends politics and statecraft, and makes points that too many people prefer to forget. Peace, after…

  • Jim Price on scientism, fundamentalism, and alchemy

    In response to my post titled When Science and Religious Beliefs Conflict, my friend Jim Price proposed a way of reconciling opposites. Fundamentalisms and alchemy Jim Price I feel I have something important to say about scientism. Of course, scientific authority needs to be questioned. Religious authority needs to be questioned. De-mythologize, label the imprints…

  • Robert Clarke on the sickness of our modern world

    This is an excerpt from Robert Clarke’s book The Royal Line of Christ the Logos, forthcoming from Hologram Books. Many years ago I had fallen into a very deep and prolonged state of depression. I had lost all belief in religion, in there being any deeper spiritual meaning to reality, and what loomed threateningly large to…

  • Adam Gopnik: Don’t Stop Believing

    It is always a pleasure to find kindred minds — and sometimes more of a pleasure to find minds that are sort of kindred than ones which exactly mirror our own way of thinking. So I was pleased to find, via an article in Schwartzreport, Search Magazine.  (This particular link: http://www.searchmagazine.org/Archives/Back%20Issues/2009%20March-April/full-ongodgopnik.html) Adam Gopnik “On God”:…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (11)

    For the past several weeks, we have been looking at a new way of seeing who we are. A couple of loose ends today, and then next week we’ll start looking at what the implications are for the way we lead our lives. Subsequently, we’ll look at society and the individual, and then what the…
