Two Blogs in One
Recently, I decided I was going to appreciate freely, without regard to what anyone else was doing. If you asked me how that’s coming along, I’d have to say that it needs work. I’ve been struggling. I wrote the following two blogs to help work out the Read More...

Seth Events: An “Out”-of-Body Experience*
If you ever want to test the mettle of your relationships, try telling people that you’ve had an out-of-body experience. It’s actually quite amusing. After I had one, most of the people I told were either wary or uninterested, though most came around Read More...

Money, Morality and The Habit of Wealth
If you turn on the television, power is represented by money and a gun. A while back, I was taking a walk and I had an information cluster (mentioned in a previous blog) about power. It was the spontaneous knowing that the individual is power. That is, Read More...

Absolutely
One of my favorite quotes is by Elias. It goes like this: “There are no absolutes.” You have to love that line. It’s fodder for a lifetime of thought. An absolute is often defined as something perfect or complete or unlimited by exception or not to be Read More...

Global Blooming
I was talking to a neighbor recently, and she was telling me about an award winning documentary she’d seen on global warming, and she asked me if I’d seen it. I said that I hadn’t, and she said that she would loan me the DVD because I had to see it, and Read More...
