“Here’s what I learned from Christopher Hitchens in the 25 years I knew him: Think for yourself … Follow your principles to the end … Don’t flinch from the truth … and continue to reaffirm these all, until the last ounce of strength drains from your body.” ~ from Jacob Weisberg Despite efforts both sincere […]
As far as preventing identity theft is concerned, I only offer the following: 1) LET GO OF YOUR FEAR! … Whatever you are afraid of is strengthened and will more than likely appear in your life in one form or another. To aid in this process of detachment, envision a ‘worst case scenario’ and then realize […]
In my personal experience, God (whatever or whomever you might feel God to be) has nothing to do with “responsibilities” or “duties” or “obligations”. These are man-made restrictions on our “God-Given” ability to purely Love others in each Moment … That being said, merely because I am open to serving whatever Service is present in […]
Some gurus say that it is impossible to “cleanse the ego” — that all we can hope to do is cope with its evils; that all we can really do is train ourselves to “just remain calm” whenever its fear-based desires repeatedly resurface. Of course a true Master knows that, even though the ego IS […]
As far as world politics is concerned, I have no immediate solutions, and it is not my purpose to propose any … Our egos are clever in their constant encouragements designed to keep us feeling hopeless and/or self-centered. They would have us believe that we must stop war completely to effectuate Peace; that we must […]
I don’t know if these words will provide you with any consolation (as my experience has shown that only our selflessly caring actions can do so), and yet I offer them to you nonetheless … As far as my feelings about the afterlife are concerned, it is most important to preface my thoughts by stating […]
As much as we’d like to believe to the contrary, Life is about change and what we choose to do with change. And as much as we’d like to experience it differently, Love is about Giving and so rarely about receiving — and we are bombarded by these two Truths until we either Accept and […]
I’ll now give you a few of my personal thoughts on the whole “Soulmate” theme. These thoughts are not meant to represent “the Truth”, as I do not know what your particular Path to Peace offers or requires, AND YET these are Truths for my life — a life that was also often filled with […]
Choice 1] Feel your hurt from its place of origin (which is most often not the immediate source of the same) … . Choice 2] Accept the other as she/he IS; giving them the freedom to be as “bad” or as “mean” or as “petty” as they wish … . Choice 3] Forgive the other for […]
I have learned a few things during my radical “Experiment in Being Human”; things that directly relate to your questions — things I will very briefly share with you now: 1) I have learned that I do NOT know what is “best” for myself or what is “better” for anyone else. All of the goals […]
yes, yes, yes … asking about The Mystery is futile … … and we KNOW that there essentially is no “self” and no “other” — that we are all innately and essentially ONE — a State of Being that we will all re-member once we pass on after this lifetime — when our Souls reunify […]
