Pardon Me, But Haven’t We Met Before?

grp

  Soul groups? There’s a lot of information and speculation out there around the topic of “soul groups”. As in anything along spiritual lines, there is no right or wrong, per se. One can’t positively “prove” any of the information, except to oneself. But you can work through  the available concepts and see what makes [...]

Are You Wasting Your Time?

waste

    One of my favorite concepts is that nothing is ever wasted. Usually I’m referring to life experiences. It all adds up to something, always. What’s here now would be impossible without what came before. That’s just the way it works in our particular system. But yeah, things sure can look wasted. And sometimes [...]

Life Mission vs. Life Purpose

quantum

  You hear a lot these days about Life Purpose.  I’ve written about it several times myself because it’s an interesting topic… and because I think that the term has been overused and some strange ideas have coagulated around it.   Let’s Get (meta)physical… It’s not nitpicking to define the word “purpose” clearly here.  In [...]

Who Are You, Really?

images

As we go through life handing the bumps and bruises that we all get a taste of, there’s a learning curve.  Of course, the very way that we do handle that stuff determines how tough it’s going to get.  Learn the lesson, it gets easier.   Keep doing the same stuff, and the lesson continues until we [...]

Do You Have a Soul Mate?

sm

  Short answer, no. Now, since I know that’s going to leave some people scratching their heads  (and more than a few more than a little pissed), allow me to elucidate.  :) Contracts vs. free will… The prime gift that we have in this Earth school is free will – not all systems work that [...]

Life Purpose: The School of Hard Knocks?

fight

  I believe that the whole point of life on this planet is to have experiences on behalf of our Creator (Source, God, Consciousness…).  At the same time, those experiences are intended to be the vehicle for us to learn and evolve; this is our basic life purpose.  We perceive these as physical experiences, but the ultimate [...]

Knowing Is Not Doing: True Mindfulness

indecision

If you’re reading this, you probably consider yourself to be “on a spiritual path”…or at least you’re interested.  Maybe you woke up to spirituality last month…or 20 years ago.  In either case you’ve probably been studying various frameworks and belief systems.  You’ve read the Tolle, the Chopra, the Dyer, the Hicks.  And maybe those studies have lead [...]

2012: The End of the World?

2012

  Well, here we are.  It’s 2012, and a scant two-months-plus until the dreaded 21st of December.  Some folks are scared; some think it’s the Rapture and claim to be looking forward to the planet being washed clean of sin and, not inconsequentially, the sinners as well.  (I forget…do the good guys get sucked up [...]

Don’t Cut Your Nose Off!

cut_nose

  When I was a kid the old folks actually used time-tested parables and expressions.  Nowadays most of these come from TV shows (“No soup for you!”) and other popular media. But before TV took over our culture, those old chestnuts served well.  ”A stitch in time saves nine.”  In other words, fix it now [...]

It’s You, Not Them

man-mirror

Recently a pal of mine, Julie, wrote something about “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”   Got me thinking. Of course it’s a cliche’…but cliches become cliches for a reason: because as often as not they’re true. Those of us with “differently-enabled” loved ones in our lives become painfully aware of this truism.  Nothing [...]
