  • Why Are We So Mental?

    The Chinese words for mental illness are 精神病 Jingshen bing (spiritual sickness) and 心理疾病 xinlijibing (sickness in the heart).  I think that is significant, because it says to me that the non-clinical mental illnesses that many of us contend with are directly influenced by our spiritual and emotional states.  What do you think? I know…

  • Angels In Distress

    I was blessed to be asked to speak about my experiences and understandings on domestic violence on the Angels in Distress radio show with Janie Deadwyler in Atlanta. Please share and comment.

  • 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…

  • What Your Power Looks Like

    I know some people may feel like I’m making a big deal about this waterfall like the double rainbow dude, but the fact is I cannot deny the awesomeness of Creation and I also can’t help but know that the very Power through which this waterfall came into being is active in each and everyone…

  • 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…

  • Preparation I – For Those Illusion Flare ups

    As you may have noticed from the video, I’m still developing my language skills when it comes to speaking about “the illusion” of separation. The way I see it, the most honest thing I can do to express The Truth of the Oneness of Being is to be silent. However, because I am engaged in…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • We’re All Invisible

    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. …
