Intention Matters in Real Ways
“In the 1980s, during the peak of the Lebanon War, an incredible study was conducted. “It was hypothesised, based on many previous smaller experiments, that if enough people were connected in meditation, stimulating a ‘powerful field of peace’ within – that there would be a radiated influence of peace without, ie. one that affected theContinue reading “Intention Matters in Real Ways”
Change & Responsibility
(Taken from a letter written to a friend …) I understand the cyclic movement of change requires the dissolution of what is in order to make room for the new. Gardening, history, archaeology, and geology, among other studies, require this awareness of movement. Archaeology in particular is a good lesson in the ebb and flowContinue reading “Change & Responsibility”
To Be Peace
Please send thoughts and imaginings and prayers only of love and compassion to everyone right now. Hold in love those who are grieving, frightened, heartbroken, abused in any way, protecting the vulnerable … and also love for those who are angry, aggressive, broken inside, so alienated from their own innate holiness that they wield theirContinue reading “To Be Peace”
Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate
A few people have told me about spiritual teachers or personalities who have said that Trump is a light being, doing light being work, and what do I think about that … so here’s what I think about that. (Maybe don’t get hung up on an idea before reading all the way through.) Everyone isContinue reading “Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate”
Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
Interrupt worry, gently and persistently. Interrupt your imagination’s pictures of futures that don’t exist yet and may never. Introduce a memory of beauty, a possibility of laughter, rest, or fellowship. Imagine every soul lifting into itself in relief, realigning our collective potential toward a so far unimaginable collective peace. We are creators. Energy flows whereContinue reading “Energy Flows Where Attention Goes”
Mystics & Prophets
“The key to living as a prophet-mystic is showing up for what is, no matter how heartbreaking or laborious, how fraught with seemingly intractable conflict and how tempting it might be to meditate or pray our way out of the pain. Contemplative practices train us to befriend reality, to become intimate with all things byContinue reading “Mystics & Prophets”
Responsibility: complicity to truth
The ideals that our country has professed since the ratification of the Constitution have never really been owned up to and met. Any Hispanic, Asian, black, or American Indian will attest to this. Most women could attest. Yet the myth persists that we’re the good guys. Our government has invaded, undermined, destroyed, strong-armed, blackmailed, andContinue reading “Responsibility: complicity to truth”
Ability to Respond: Responsibility
Any fool can wreck things. It takes insight, care, patience, and wise attention to create things. It’s much harder to do, which may be why foolish people end up avoiding it. Creation is always interesting, so much richer than the brief thrill of destruction. In times of destruction, note the spaces between, the overlooked blankContinue reading “Ability to Respond: Responsibility”
Strategy & Strength
Attributed to Hopi Tribal leader White Eagle (confirm if you know): “This moment that mankind is experiencing now can be seen as either a door or a hole. The decision to fall into the hole or go through the door is yours. If you absorb information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous,Continue reading “Strategy & Strength”
