A few nights ago I was lying in bed reading when one of my smoke alarms beeped three times. Since it was about 11pm, I was only resigned instead of feeling aggravated – normally my smoke alarm batteries go bad between 2am and 4am, when it’s least convenient and most confusing. I hauled my buttContinue reading “The Smoke Alarm Communicates”

Psychic Protection
This is a post inspired by a comment from a reader – cheers, AgentSully. [Insert usual explanation of my channeling here – or go look at the post entitled Suicide to read the explanation … ] * Me: Talk a bit about psychic protection, please. Them: Psychic protection can be necessary we would say, orContinue reading “Psychic Protection”
Suicide
A reader has asked me to write about suicide; this is for CW. When I approach a subject like this, I like to go into a quiet space inside myself and ask the question of my group of advisers or what people refer to as guides. I want to say that I don’t know whether these personalitiesContinue reading “Suicide”
Imagination
During a Monroe Institute workshop that I attended earlier this year, the facilitator suggested that if we felt as if we weren’t getting anything during the meditations (visual images, messages, communication, whatever), that we prime the pump by imagining something, then following it. She paused for a moment, looking around the room with a smallContinue reading “Imagination”
Golfing in Iraq
While in Iraq I took up golf. I love saying that. I enjoy strange juxtapositions: golf in a war zone. Take cover! Take cover! Now I have to tell you that we didn’t have a course; we had a driving range. We didn’t have grass; we had packed silty dirt. We didn’t have any groomedContinue reading “Golfing in Iraq”
How to Improve the World
If the world needs improving, does that mean it’s not perfect? Is there a difference between judging someone’s soul and judging their behavior within the context of culture/world?What is the difference between physical reality and spiritual evolution? Are physical reality and spiritual evolution separate things, or a valid distinction to make?Do you think that youContinue reading “How to Improve the World”
The Wind
Yesterday the wind was howling here in southern Arizona. Normally when winds are blustery and wild I feel restless, out of sorts, or downright cranky. The wind whips my hair into my eyes or tosses dust into my eyes, making it especially difficult to see when already I only have one good eye to workContinue reading “The Wind”
On Guides
A friend recently asked if I think that the Gathering (from Application of Impossible Things) is a sort of executive committee comprised of other incarnations of myself, and whether it has an active part in guiding mine. His question came from reading Robert Monroe’s book Ultimate Journey, in whichMonroe has eventually reached this understanding aboutContinue reading “On Guides”
The Object of Our Attention: Perspective
This morning I opened the garage/studio door early in the morning to give baby seedlings light. (My garage serves many purposes – perhaps another story for another time.) I left the garage door open while I went back indoors for a couple of hours. When I had reason to go back out to the garage,Continue reading “The Object of Our Attention: Perspective”
What to ask the Dalai Lama
If you could meet the Dalai Lama and ask him any question that you wanted to ask, what would that question be? This question floated into my mind today while I was playing in the studio. It could have been asked of any teacher, healer, wise wo/man: Jesus, Madame Blavatsky, Mohammed, Saint Theresa, the Buddha,Continue reading “What to ask the Dalai Lama”
