Every single day, the world challenges our peace. Between the natural disasters, political chaos, social injustices, terrorist events, mass murders, institutional corruption, health care concerns, the threat of nuclear war, and a range of other volatile and stressful issues from big to small, who could blame anyone for losing their peace once in a while? … Continue reading “Walking The Unity Talk In Social Media”
In Dr. David Hawkins’ “map of consciousness,” courage first registers at the level of 200 on an ascending logarithmic scale of creative power that goes to 1000. Master teachers like Jesus and Buddha calibrate at the top end of the “map,” which Hawkins designates as Enlightenment. Just below the level courage at 200, is the … Continue reading “From Pride To Neutrality”
I write about peace a lot. I also think about it, talk about it, meditate on it, and even write songs about it. Right now, I am in the midst of writing a book about peace. For me, peace is the end game, the reason behind every choice I make. You could say that experiencing … Continue reading “Peace In The Midst”
I recently attended a talk given by Revs. Brian & Kristen Grandon titled “The Journey of Spiritual Awakening: Reframing Salvation”. This talk was the 5th installment in their 8-week series “Our Authentic Spiritual Journey,” which they are presenting at Unity Church of the Hills in Austin. It got me thinking about how my own thoughts … Continue reading “Love Is The Answer To Every Question”

This does not just apply to some of my thoughts and feelings. It applies universally to all of my thoughts and feelings. If peace is my goal, neutrality is absolutely essential. Peace will … Continue reading “Neutrality Is Indispensable To Peace”
In these times of political gridlock, heightened social and racial tensions and seemingly endless random violence and terrorism, having the willingness to be neutral is a genuine act of courage. It may also hold the key to the next stage of our collective evolution, especially as it relates to the creation of healthy, interdependent relationships … Continue reading “The Courage To Be Neutral”
Being “created in the image and likeness” of the Original Creator, we are, each one of us, created to be creators. This is our most fundamental spiritual identity. We are born to be creators; and, all creative power is given unto us to fulfill our purpose as creators. If we are not living in alignment … Continue reading “The Creative Possibilities of Peace”
The harmonizing power of love and the experience of true peace are interdependent energies. Peace is not possible without the expression of unconditional love, which inspires the experience of peace.

The primary qualities of this “energetic neutrality” are … Continue reading “Affirming The Awareness Of Peace”
In August 1997, I purchased my first copy of A Course In Miracles (ACIM) so that I could join a brand new study group that was forming near my home.
