Change Is Inevitable, Transformation Is Optional

by | Dec 7, 2017 | ,

This past year has brought major changes, both in the world at large, and within our own individual lives. Changes, changes and more changes. It seems the entire world is smack dab in the midst of massive, foundational changes, the scope and breadth of which we have not witnessed in our lifetimes. Mounting resistance to many of these changes is fomenting full blown crises on multiple fronts, seemingly all at once. Many feel, perhaps quite rightly, that we are teetering on the brink of complete...

From Pride To Neutrality

by | Nov 26, 2017 | , ,

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 energy of pride, which calibrates from 175-199. Dr. Hawkins maintains that the collective vibration of humankind globally is just above 200, after being calibrated for...

Are You A Soul Writer?

by | Nov 23, 2017 | ,

Are you a soul writer? I ask that question in the full knowledge that you may not perceive yourself to be any kind of a writer, much less a "soul" writer. What is a soul writer anyway? We’ll get to the “soul” part later. For now, let’s address the second part first: are you a writer? For most people, their first response is likely to be some form or variation of, “God, no! I could never be a writer.” Over time, I have heard a wide range of denials from people who believe they are not writers....

The Language of Oneness

by | Nov 19, 2017 | ,

On Thursday, November 2nd, I was contacted by Rev. Sondra von Gyllenband at Unity Church in New Braunfels who asked if I was available to stand in for her at that weekend's Sunday services. She had developed a respiratory infection and did not believe she would recover in time. As divine order would have it, it was the only Sunday in November that I was open and available. We laughed briefly at the divine order of things, noting how easily her need and request had been fulfilled. I asked her...

These Truths Are Made For Walking

by | May 3, 2017 | , ,

This is the ninth and final installment in the “Walking the Unity Talk” series exploring how to live the Unity Principles in our lives. In this article, we conclude with an exploration of Unity’s Fifth Principle, which I style as the call to action principle. Living the fifth principle is how we demonstrate the truth we know and how we express our creative power and spiritual potential. What Does the Fifth Principle Actually Say? As with the previous articles, I have been using two different...

Survival of the Wisest (Part II)

by | Apr 9, 2011 | , ,

Just so this is clear right up front, I absolutely believe that reason and science are necessary for our evolution. The faculty of reason is a God given power, and is intended for our use. So, contrary to how it might sound, I am actually pro-science. Likewise, I believe that matters of faith, God, spirituality and consciousness are equally necessary to our evolution. I believe that science placed in the service of evolving our spiritual consciousness is the highest expression of our faculty...

Survival Of The Wisest (Part I)

by | Apr 7, 2011 | , ,

I seriously enjoy learning something new every day, and what I enjoy most is learning what it is I am going to be learning about each day. You with me? For example, just yesterday morning, I was getting my day started with a cup of morning joe and had an inclination to Google "spirituality videos." A link to a Deepak Chopra presentation surfaced near the top and I launched it. The presentation centered around the content in his most recent book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How...

Forgiving Our Way To Peace

by | Apr 3, 2011 | ,

We humans are an interesting lot. Each of us in our own way believes we are a perfect judge. Now before you object to that characterization, search yourself and your own experience and think of a time you formed a judgment about the behavior of another, turned it into a grievance with them and then withheld your forgiveness because you were convinced you were right, and therefore, justified in doing so. How did your righteousness make you feel? Were you happy to be angry with this person? Did...
