Having a Relationship with Yourself
Steve Pavlina, on his popular blog, is conducting an experiment in which is assumes that ALL aspects of his own reality, including the other people with whom he relates, are actually his own creations. From this perspective, everyone – your friends, your spouse, your boss – are actually aspects of your own being. On the [...]
Get Rid of Goals
I’ve noticed a synchronicity lately with regard to the idea of “goals”. At the very time when I’m feeling some personal frustration at not meeting some of my important goals – two of my favorite bloggers, Steve Pavlina and Leo Babauta, are posting about the idea of reducing the importance of goals in our life. [...]
Meditating While Driving
Like many people, I never seem to have the time I’d like for meditating and spiritual development. I’d like to begin each day with spiritual practice, but sometimes I’m running late and don’t get to it. Since I have a long commute, I’ve sometimes tried to listen to meditation tapes while driving, but this can [...]
Inception – a Review
All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream – Edgar Allan Poe So I went to see Inception last night with most of the family. First a general review. It was an excellent and entertaining movie. It combined espionage, science fiction and action with mind-bending psychological and metaphysical elements. I [...]
Independent Bishop Excommunicates Pope
As you may or may not know, Pope Benedict recently directed that anyone who attempts to ordain a woman to the priesthood, and any woman who is ordained, is automatically excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. In response to that, my bishop, Bishop Lewis Keizer, presiding bishop of the Home Temple, formally excommunicated Pope Benedict [...]
The Joy of Being Wrong
I was browsing around this morning and ran into a rather grim article over at the Boston Globe titled How Facts Backfire. It highlights psychological research which uncovers the interesting pattern that when people are deeply committed to a particular opinion, showing them facts that prove them conclusively wrong doesn’t change their opinion. It actually [...]
Juice Fasting for Psoriasis
If you have or know someone with psoriasis, this post may be of interest to you. If not, I apologize for posting something with a rather narrow focus on a site that’s usually very general. But if you’ve struggled with psoriasis, as I have for many years, any suggestions or ideas are usually welcome. So [...]
Integral Spirituality
Integral Spirituality: A Startling New Role for Religion in the Modern and Postmodern World – by Ken Wilber. I’ve read this book several times now, and need to return to it periodically to incorporate more of it’s insights into my thinking. I’ve previously explained that Ken Wilber is probably the most comprehensive thinker around. His [...]
There is Nothing Wrong With You for Teens – Cheri Huber
There Is Nothing Wrong With You for Teens – I picked this one up at the library thinking it looked like interesting reading for my teenagers. Apparently it is a teen version of an earlier adult book Cheri wrote. I immediately loved the book, and so did my kids. Cheri comes from a Zen perspective. [...]
A Gnostic Experience
I usually don’t share my meditation or religious experiences, but I had an experience this morning so powerful for me personally that I wanted to attempt to record it and share it. It was an encounter with God unlike any I’ve had. It began with my reading last night of some passages from Karen Armstrong’s [...]
