  • Christ Is In the Crisis With Us

    Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”.  However, most of the time we try to do that very thing.  When I talk to people about my thoughts on Christ, it is generally from the point of view that Christ is an open invitation and access to better thinking about…

  • Does Jesus Care What We Think?

    Does Jesus Care What We Think?

    This post may bother some of us who think of Christ as a Superhero Santa Claus who saves us  from all of our problems and makes all of our wishes come true.  What if Jesus’ greatest power is being a friend who loves us no matter what and considers what is best for us and…

  • Lasting Happiness – The Greatest Lie Ever Sold

    If you are waiting for the day when you will be “happy” all of the time, I have some news for you.  It is never going to happen.  I know that many people don’t like to hear this.  They want to believe that if they could just get in the right situation they can “get…

  • We Are All Full of IT

    Have you ever watched one of those movies like The Matrix where the characters find out the world isn’t real and thought to yourself, “Hey, how do I know if my world is real?” I know I have and I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t real.  Now as far as I know, I am not living my…

  • Why I Wrote “It’s All In Me”

    I made this review, because after stepping away from this book for nearly seven years, I have authentically used this book for the purpose for which it was originally conceived–as a roadmap back into consciousness.  It provided me with a breadcrumb trail back to the core of my being when I stepped off the path…

  • Unconditional You

    Have you ever told yourself how you would be a certain way if conditions were different?  “If I had this money, I’d be…”  If I grew up with this kind of family, I’d be…”  Yadda yadda yadda and the list goes on.  You know how it is.  We do it all the time.  And if…

  • The World Is Meaningless

    WARNING:  This post can be depressing if you are the type of person that looks for the negative or positive in everything.  I love you, but this post is not for you.  This post is for people who are interested in taking responsibility for how they receive the world.  Everyone else, I have to direct you…

  • If You Don’t Have My Back, Get Out of My Face

    So I was talking to my surrogate daughter the other day about life.  She was asking about why it is that we often get bothered when we see people doing the very things that we excuse ourselves for.  The conversation reminded me of a talk I had with my good friend, Jensen Yensen, which he…

  • 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…

  • Life Is an Infinite Journey

    Whenever my wife and travel or go on road trips they turn into these grand philosophical journeys where we discuss the meaning of life, spirituality, the nature of reality, and how to create an ideal life together.  Then we get into an argument over something silly just to see if we can practice what we…
