It seems to me, as I write this during the pandemic of 2020, that we’re standing in a time and place of unparalleled instability. All of the “sure things” I previously took for granted are changing into something else or just disappearing altogether. My personality, my Ego, my being-in-the-world, is constantly trying to readjust, to […]
Dealing with Life
About That Election…
I’ve been asked by several people to share a broader perspective on the election of 2016. I will begin by saying that it is my deeply held conviction that Spirit, All-That-Is, all knowing and all loving, lives and listens within the heart of each of us. It wants nothing more than to fulfill the deepest […]
Knowing how it turns out…
Yesterday I watched the Indianapolis Colts versus “my” Denver Broncos, having recorded the game last Sunday. Because I follow the news to some degree, naturally I already knew how the game turned out. Perspective through knowing As I watched the game I found myself getting nervous when the Broncos made mistakes or missed opportunities to […]
On Being Impulsive
I think the word impulsive has gotten a bad rap. It certainly has a negative connotation: we speak of making an “impulse buy,” and someone can be called “impulsive” when we judge them to be a little short on self-control. But let’s look a little deeper at the meaning of impulsive The word “impulse” actually has […]
The work worth doing
It occurs to me that the only work worth doing is the work required to take my attention back from the small mind. All-that-is will take care of the rest.
About compassion
I’ve never thought of myself as being particularly compassionate. I know… one is supposed to be compassionate, part of being a “better person.” But what does that mean? I’ve recently been able to see that I habitually conflated compassion with commiseration and sympathy, and that I usually added guilt and obligation to the mix. I […]
Financial Independence
I heard someone this week talking about wanting to be financially independent. And I wondered, what would that mean in the context of the Seer’s Explanation? For me, the phrase conjures up images of having: having lots of money, income, investments, financial instruments and the like. And of course, that brings up questions about how […]
Moving towards mastery – telling a new story
It seems clear to me that to change your life you have to change the story you tell about your life. It’s tricky though. If you tell a story that reflects the life you want, but you don’t believe it, it won’t feel good, and it won’t change your life. Let’s say you feel you […]
Observing the mind
I had an opportunity a couple of weeks ago to view up-close the behavior of the mind when confronted with a glimpse of who we really are. I attended a “salon” at the home of dear friends at which I was invited to present the main ideas in The Seer’s Explanation. I decided to invite […]
About failure
For human beings – in my life, at least – the idea of failure seems to be a constant threat. In fact, for me the fear of failure has probably closed more doors than has actual failure. I’ve been inquiring into the question of where my fear of failure comes from, but no definitive answer […]
