Some Quiet Wisdom
By David Ault “Believe me when I say I wish I could offer you something like an instant parting of the clouds, a single sentence or practice that would return you immediately to peace. Something simple and universal. A one-size-fits-all path back to center. “But the truth is, being human doesnāt work that way. “ThereContinue reading “Some Quiet Wisdom”
Everything is Conscious?
Everything is conscious, and not conscious in the ways we might assume consciousness. I’ve had conversations with a few people who insist or hope that AI is conscious or developing consciousness, assuming that consciousness to be like our own. I suppose it’s possible for a being to use AI as a tool to speak through,Continue reading “Everything is Conscious?”

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”
