The Spirit of Giving It’s the winter solstice today, the turning point of the year, the end of harvest (gathering in) and beginning of sharing or distribution. Yesterday, two conversations came together in my mind related to giving, especially at this time of year. Conversation 1: I arranged a Christmas Eve dinner with the other…
Magnificent doesn’t mean perfect! Yesterday I woke up feeling magnificent. Every human is designed for some kind of magnificence, and we each have our own particular flavor or signature. My own signature is brilliance, and on a good day I both exhibit brilliance in my life and work and being, and also appreciate it in…
Pivot Points, Coda As I was thinking this over a few days later, I noticed a few things about my own pivot points – and of course these patterns may or may not apply to anyone else. The high points: There is a period of discomfort prior to the pivot, just like Ken Wilber describes…
PIVOT POINT, Part 2 This morning it came to me that, for most people, their identity is bound up in what they do. In a male-dominated world, the divine masculine yang energy of expansion is paramount, so we do things because we can, regardless of the end or side effects. (For example, only in a…
PIVOT POINT, Part 1 Last Sunday was 02-02-2020, a palindromic date (and thus exceedingly rare – the next one will be in 03-03-3030). Spiritually and energetically, this seems to be a moment to reaffirm our dreams and intentions. My own teacher speaks of 2020 as a year of replenishment, of being blessed again after times…
Spirituality and the Waste Disposal I’ve been helping out a friend in Brazil who has a stomach virus that led to a week of complete blockage in his colon. (That’s my polite way of saying he couldn’t shit for a week.) We worked through the obvious questions – is this your complaint or someone else’s…
Spiritual Silliness I was listening to an inspired Geotran call last night that urged us all to stay out of strife, because that is one of the tools of this world, and it blocks our blessings. Now, as someone who is political by nature, that’s a hard one to hear sometimes, and yet I do…
Waiting II A few days ago, I wrote about WAITING, and how waiting puts you/anyone into a false future, a ‘soon or someday’ timeframe that never arrives. To get past that that natural human pattern, you need to NOTICE that you are not in the NOW, but in some other timeframe. DECIDE to be in…
Waiting For some time now I’ve been waiting for a certain funding event. <sigh> On the plus side, I have been educating myself and others on the background to this particular change, how best to prepare for the process itself, and how I/we intend to use the funds for the healing of humanity and other…
The Pleasure of Not Knowing This morning I drifted up through a dream, one with several threads: I could ‘hear’ today’s blog writing itself as a stream of consciousness, I connected with the flow of funding I’ve been expecting for some time, and I was being actively courted by polymath Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal…
