  • Role Over and Die

    Have you ever found yourself falling into a role that you were so sure you had transcended?  Do you feel compelled to meet people under the circumstances that are comfortable to them rather than showing up as your “authentic self”?  Yes, the whole “authentic self” thing is starting to get cliche, but you know what…

  • Originally posted on Passion For Truths: In the many days of our lives, We are bound to be hurt by others. Hurt by their action, hurt by their stinging words. Deep can be the injury. Bitter our hearts can turn. But all the wise teachers and the compassionate gurus, Have taught us to avoid subjecting…

  • The Dots Are Not Connected

    What if there are no dots? What if there are no connections? What if All really is One and One really is All? What if there is only eternal being in Oneness and Jesus to the Chrizzity Chrizist knows what’s up and is calling us into that reality. John 17:20-23 (New King James Version) Jesus…

  • An Answer for Everything

    Isn’t it funny that many of us admit that “God works in mysterious ways” or that we must embrace the “unknown”, but yet we always seem to have the answers or be looking for the answers for everything.  We want to get “it” right so bad, that sometimes we will live with answers that make…

  • These Wounds Can Heal

    What if all of those wounds that you are ashamed of are God’s way of empowering you to heal others?

  • Life Is an Infinite Journey

    When I was meditating the other morning, I was listening for guidance from the Holy Spirit on what I should pay attention to that day.  In my form of meditation I mostly just pray and then just sit still for a long time afterward just listening as thoughts come up.  I don’t follow the thoughts. …

  • How Does Healing Work?

    I received an email today with a blog post asking whether or not we can heal ourselves. The blog went into some science about genetics and another scientific area called epigenetic control (above genetics) which essentially says that our beliefs actually effect our genes.  In other words to a large extent we are shaped and…

  • We’re Better Than That

    We’re Better Than That Back in the day I used to shine my light everywhere I went.  I didn’t care what anyone thought, because I was so certain that I was doing what God put in my heart to do in every moment.  I wasn’t bound by the burdens of society’s approval and I did…

  • If Time Is Money, They’re Both Lies

    For my class in Christian Ethics some years ago, I had to read the book, The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, by Max Weber.  It is one of those books from the early part of the 20th Century ( I’m talking 1904-5) that can depress a thinking person because it shows that…
