Spiritual practice is not a crisis intervention to use only when we are in trouble. It is to bring us to peace not only for a moment but for all time. So we practice and get to a state of peace and then we go about the business of life. When we walk into the world somehow we lose this …
We are our own worst victim…..
It is not my fault. It is your fault. This view works for me. The only time this does not “work” is when both of us claim the role of victim. Then we have a competition. When this happens we can have a standoff for hours or even days. We are committed to our small self as a victim, and …
Dismantling the Victim and the Bully….
We have become a nation of victims and bullies. Everyone is encouraged to adopt one role or the other. We seem to have lost our sense of character and of the honor of taking responsibility for our actions. Our media and public officials have taken to name-calling rather than discerning what actually may be going on. We are all so …

Real Leadership….
A leader can be defined as someone who one or more people authorize to guide toward a particular goal.

The loving and good are not defined universally; though we believe we are all in agreement, these words are defined differently by each of us. To proceed down the …
Don’t Waste Time….
Why do we waste our time with people, things, objects, etc. that only engage the small self? So we may keep our false identity. We will use anything to maintain our sense of self. So anything that can keep us distracted, away from God, away from our true Self, we will pursue. How sad that we are so attached to …
The Crisis behind the Crisis….
This is not about guns, though guns do make killing easier. These were six and seven year olds. Guns were not necessary. Small children are not a threat, and in no way can they fight back. This is about our attachment to violence and our idolatry of the individual. Instead of seeing that we all share in one life, we …
Autopterodidactyl….
If you are self-taught, you do not know what you do not know. The only dialogue is between you and you, which means that you believe you can dictate your position in any environment. You are unwilling to be educated. This leaves you with two options: either you are always right, or at the very least the most knowledgeable, or …
