Our Deepest Fear….
Our deepest fear is not that We are inadequate Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure It is is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

False Certainty
It is easier to see problems in someone other than oneself. We all know people who knock on our door with bibles. They’re very certain.

A wind is blowing. Not from North, East, South or West, Nor from above or below, But from the other way. There must be a window open, In the place I can’t see.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life? Absorbed in this world, you’ve made it your burden. Rise above this world. There is another vision. All your life you’ve paid attention to your experiences, but never to your Self. Are you searching for your Soul? Then come out of your prison.

Read MoreHIDING
HIDING is a way of staying alive. Hiding is a way of holding ourselves until we are ready to come into the light. Even hiding the truth from ourselves can be a way to come to what we need in our own necessary time. Hiding is one of the brilliant and virtuoso practices of almost every part of the natural world: the protective quiet of an icy northern landscape, the held bud of a future summer...
Read MoreA Crying Out for a Better World
Cinema whether it be in movies or television are often characterized as windows to our collective consciousness. Many (i.e. the Matrix series) are prime examples of work that looks at our current ‘situation’ as a society. A trilogy, His Dark Materials is another of those. The sample below is from an HBO adaptation of the trilogy (in my humble opinion a very good one) where the...
