Mind is a thing and consciousness looks out at the mind, and consciousness is separate from mind, thus the mystical experience comes from a place of feeling from the heart and soul... nothing to do with thinking.

The mystical experience can't be put into words, words get in the way.…

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” 

―    Benjamin Franklin..

.....I wonder what one of America's Founding Fathers and Philosopher Benjamin Franklin would make of the Supreme Court in the USA today taking a long hard critical look at the untenable Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA),and its validity in the Constitution. A Landmark decision to strike down the 1996 Act, which denies benefits to single-sex couples, seems…

I wrote something awhile back on NOH8 and I felt the need to do it again because it has been awhile. Of course we are in the midst of the Supreme Court ruling as well, which has prompted many to speak out yet again. What is the issue is here. Ego? We are all human and nothing makes anybody any more normal than the person next to them. The LGBT community is no different than any other community. We are all just trying to survive and come together. If the…

Spiritual Hygiene is important! Just as we need to shower everyday for our physical hygiene, we need to scrub our spiritual selves as well. Our soul is untouched/ unstained but the mind connecting it our body needs to be cleansed. When we cleanse ourselves regularly, our aura expands and strengthens. It helps build protection from any negative influences/energies. Being a healthy, positive state attracts more positive experiences. It becomes easier to focus and achieve our goals. Life simply…

Getting to sleep has become a large problem in our society. People are too busy fighting with the weeds of their day to slow down and plant the proper seeds for relaxation in our daily garden of “doing things” and then wonder why sleep…

The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.

 ~ Maria Montessori

Do you think that your children are connected to nature? Do you remember the activities from your own childhood that bring up a sense of great joy? Have your kids become sofa-bound? Would you like to encourage more activity in them?

We so often have trust issues that we either don’t recognize or can’t get past. I hear it all the time. This often stems from some trauma from our past. Whether it is a friendship or breakup, it does not matter. It hurts all the same. They say to let the past go and move on; however, it is much more complicated than just moving on. We must actually deal with it and work through it. It takes time, so either people can be there for or they can walk away. If they are a…

A young girl lashes out at class mates, and stubbornly refuses to do what she is told and finds herself alone, yet at the same time doesn’t want to be alone... she’s confused. She feels angry, yet at the same time does not understand why she’s angry.

Another person takes on all the needs of others, giving of his time and…

When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied. ~ Herophilus

Do you realize that a Super Mom’s life is a life of giving? While you’re taking care of them, who’s taking care of you? Can you begin to factor yourself into the equation?  What would you like to add to your life that would support and nurture you?

What is Good Mental…

We’ve all seen examples of channels such as Kryon and Abraham-Hicks, but it seems more and more people are tuning into their own guidance each day, accessing the Universal mind in their daily activities. This might lead to the question, ‘how do I know if I’m channelling?’ While it seems like a strange question, channelling can be a very uncertain and unsettling thing, especially the first few times it happens. You might just think you heard or read the information somewhere, or that you made…

Mercury, mischievous messenger of the Gods, in his retrograde motion in Pisces these past three weeks has created all kinds of havoc in the material, rational world of appointments, promises, contracts, and communications in general. I am thrilled to report that Mercury has stationed DIRECT, poised to move forward. On April 6th Mercury will reach 20 degrees Pisces, the degree at which it began its retrograde motion. By April 15th Mercury will enter Aries. I can hardly…

Humans have a strong desire to have freedom. Those who don’t have it want it. Those who do have it – or at least some acceptable version of it – will fight to keep it.

Perhaps this strong desire is what leads us to believe that we have free will. And that we have the freedom to create our lives as well.

However, we can’t discount the notion of the universe’s intention in the creating process. It’s a notion that Dr. Wayne Dyer explains eloquently in his book, The Power of…

Imagine a world without disease.  No drugs, no need for them.  In our new age this could be the very way it happens.

Science has proven that negative beliefs, shocks, traumas, emotions and feelings cause dis-ease in the body.

Suppose you can get rid of them- negative beliefs, shocks traumas, emotions and feelings- and rid your body of the underlying cause of the disease?

The German New Medicine, is a theory…

 As the last of winter's snow falls and the bitterly cold wind begins to slowly soften, we long to get out of doors and feel and see the newness of spring. Everywhere are signs of rebirth and the continuation of the cycles of life itself. What better time to begin our soul's spring cleaning and make room for our own rejuvenation? This is the perfect time for a walking meditation. Take to the streets, the woods, park or a stroll along the river or lake and enjoy the beauty of the season.…

Thoughts on The Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell

By David Moore, a brief book review-based discussion

Have you ever read “The Power of Myth”?  Joseph Campbell is a master of the mythology of the world.  He steers our minds in directions that force us to ask the right questions, as he cleverly weaves the framework of his ideas on myths.  Right in the introduction, I feel that the true “Power of Myth” is illustrated, as…

Anxiety is pervasive in our world today. From the poor economic climate, to traffic, to tragedy in the news, our culture contributes as well. Our modern society is busting at the seams with stimuli that trigger symptoms of anxiety in our bodies and minds.

Have you noticed that you can go about your day with a sense of anxiety that flares up on an incremental basis? Even as our minds get busy, the physical…

On a recent trip to the beach I was reminded again why I am such an advocate for the practice of earthing. Earthing is the act of coming into contact with the earth without wearing shoes in order to release negative energy. With the advent of rubber or plastic soled shoes many of us have lost the benefit of being “grounded.”  Within a half an hour of being barefoot on the shore I felt like a new person.

What is the nature of the Divine? What is God? These are most likely the most common questions of the spiritual seeker. 

It was required in undergraduate Arts programs that you have a minimum science requirement.  One of the more interesting ways to meet this requirement was to take The History Of Science.  The history of science suggested that our most deeply scientific are of…

In many parts of Mexico, Central American, and the Caribbean, the Chokogou Tree grows over 100 feet tall and produces nuts that are life sustaining... and a SUPER FOOD... no wonder the Mayan’s gathered them as a very important food source.

Maya Nuts (also called bread nuts or ramon nuts) contain a complete protein…
