Energies of Creation

I have always thought that following a guru in this day and age was rather foolish, an abdication of personal responsibility. My opinion did not change on Lopez Island, where some of the leftover people from the Antelope Ranch debacle went to live. Corrupt and unprincipled gurus abound, who needs them?
Then I met Mohanji. I […]

In my Earth Day post, I spoke of a life-altering surrender to the soul and its purpose in life. I was referring to a total commitment to the positive path and walking it daily in our physical lives.
One of the biggest struggles you can encounter is the process of reaching this decision to surrender to […]

We all think that we know the truth and that we act on that knowing all the time. We manage not to notice the myriad unresolved contradictions in our behavior, ideas, opinions, and beliefs, thinking of ourselves as unified and consistent.
Emotions play an enormous role in obscuring our vision in such matters. The more deeply […]

Not really. These are all useful enough […]

For example, if someone has an intention of being well liked and popular, but goes around acting cranky and irritable, the intention does not […]

I am getting interesting responses to Why I Don’t Burn Cars Anymore, both on and off line. Patricia from Uruguay thought I might be why the ozone is so thin in her part of the world. Might be, but I suspect it took more than my childish efforts.
The most thought provoking question was when […]

What would I say to someone who is stalled in his or her life, mired in a helpless and powerless place of stuckness? What would I say to this person who is bewildered that most of their being resists moving forward?
I would say that people are more afraid of succeeding than afraid of failing. The […]

I remember living in Canada as a young mother, leaving my educational pursuits to raise a child. I thought I was doing the right thing at the […]
