As anyone who’s dealt with me for any length of time is aware, I’m big on the idea of physical synchronicities as being some of the most useful guideposts for us. Songs on the radio, street signs, the “11:11” phenomena… even cloud formations have served me well in the past. These signs can be useful in any number of […]
Phone Phobia: I Don't Bite!
10/12/2011 by 14 Comments
I was recently reminded of a phenomena that I’d best describe as “phone phobia“. It’s an irrational fear of speaking with strangers on the telephone; the roots of this fear are deep and subtle, yet it appears that many people are subject to it to some degree or another. I know whereof I speak. Growing up […]
Take the Long View to get the Big Picture
10/07/2011 by 5 Comments
As many of you know, when I first began offering my services I identified myself as a Soul Realignment practitioner…and that was that. And that trademarked modality served me well for quite a while. It gave me a framework upon which to hang my natural intuitive talents. That work depends upon using a specific method […]
The Difference Between "Need" and "Want"
09/25/2011 by 12 Comments
A very nice lady recently posted a comment on my Facebook page to the effect that she doesn’t always have what she wants, but she always has what she needs – and is satisfied with that. Fair enough – sounds like a peaceful way to live. But it got the wheels a-turning in my head; something didn’t […]
Consciousness and Responsibility
09/15/2011 by 7 Comments
Life – both physical and spiritual – is all about constant change. As the old saying goes, you’re either busy being born or you’re busy dying (and in a physical sense you’re really doing both at the same time). This is self-evident in all forms of physical life, and it’s also true when it comes […]
Your Thoughts – The Bricks and Mortar of Your Life
09/02/2011 by 7 Comments
When we begin to look for answers (especially in times of troubles), generally the topmost question we have is, “How did things get to be the way they are for me?” Many of us go through a stage where we blame other people, luck, and a million other things for what’s around us. But If we’re diligent […]
The New Idolatry
08/08/2011 by 7 Comments
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we are told (via the Ten Commandments) that “Ye shall have no other gods before me.” Sounds simple enough…if one decides to subscribe to the “one true God” system of that and many other organized religions. Obviously, having God say this also provides an easy solution to the problem of competition […]
Mental Health and Spirituality – Part II
08/03/2011 by 7 Comments
In the first post in this series two weeks ago, we looked at general circumstances regarding the connection between spiritual experience and mental illness. We will now get a bit more specific. A question was asked about how entity attachments can occur. That depends. First a definition: an “entity” as we use it is any […]
Mental Health and Spirituality – Part I
07/21/2011 by 14 Comments
The topic of mental health and its relationship with spirituality is quite a sticky wicket. Just the fact that so much of spiritual belief and practice depends upon intensely personal and subjective thoughts and experiences makes it hard to draw a line between mental “illness” and the vivid spiritual experience. Throw in the dogma attached to both the psychiatric/psychological fields and […]
Jeremy Returns

Jeremy was born in 1966, when I was 16 years old. It was 10 years before Saturday Night Live introduced Mr. Bill, and at least 4 years before I saw my first underground comic. He just showed up in my head one day and insisted on coming out through the end of a pen. I’m […]
