How To Dance With The Universe

The universe is a dance of possibilities. You dance with it when you fall into a flow, a rhythm, where more of the possibilities that you desire start to show up. Carl Jung called this state of “meaningful coincidences” synchronicity. The classical true story of the golden scarab beetle best illustrates it. In an article called, “Synchronicity, An Acausal Connecting Principle,” Carl G. Jung shares a true story that has now become a classic example: “A young woman I... Read more »

Peeling Off the Layers of Our Multi-Dimensional Reality

Mainstream science is thought to be complete, only giving credence to data that can be physically measured with the available five senses: by this way of thinking, anything that cannot be tasted, smelled, touched, heard or seen through physical means is not scientific, and can only be speculated through philosophy. Complex machines measure elements which cannot be seen or experienced by the human eye, such as microscopic particles like atoms, electrons, neutrons, protons and vibrations. However,... Read more »

Are You Asleep?

People are often accused of being asleep. This assertion is made by people who believe that they are awake. Is this just a metaphor used to launch a pejorative statement? Or is it, like the difference between waking hours and sleeping hours, a condition where awareness is partially or completely absent? Actually, it appears to be more than a metaphor and also a part of the human condition to be asleep. Here are five ways we are all asleep. One, we fail to notice things. Due to the way our brains... Read more »

What On Earth Is Going On Here?

It’s all a miracle, when you come to think of it. All of it. Billions of years ago, out of nothing, a universe evolved from a sound. The vibration of this “big bang” still continues to expand. A planet evolved out of the masses of dead planets that would support life. As far as we currently know, no other planet in our galaxy supports life. There are rumors of space visitors but few of us have ever seen them, or their magnificent ships. It’s all hearsay, and since pictures... Read more »

The Rise And Fall Of Curiosity

It is not really clear whether humanity developed intelligence because it was curious or its curiosity developed its intelligence. It could very well be a combination of both, with our natural genetic capacity for inquiry stimulating more complex and interconnected neural nets and bigger brains. For a long time, psychologists believed that intelligence was fixed, but new evidence shows that the more we learn, the more neural connections are formed and the more we can learn. The driving force behind... Read more »

Heralds Of The Dawn, Explorers Of The Light

All over the world, human beings seek the truth about the meaning of life. They do this in different ways but it is the spirit of their search which determines the quality of their findings. There are many degrees and variations of those who seek truth, a unusual brand of human beings who seek to understand the meaning of life on a fundamental level. These groups, for the most part, fall into two classes, science and religion. (And those who seek to interpret and present the meanings of these... Read more »

How Reliable Is The Law Of Attraction?

If thoughts are things, then those who are familiar with the Law of Attraction should be living the life of their dreams. While a few may attain this enviable state, the majority do not rise to that level. Is it the Law of Attraction that is at fault or the person who uses it? Does it work for some and not for others? Does it work some of the time and not at other times? It is my contention, both from my study of it and from my many years of experience with it, that the Law of Attraction is as reliable... Read more »

Explore Your Potential

Your potential is not quite a thing, yet more than an idea. It awaits in a twilight zone between idea and reality, where all things are possible but none are actual. It took 15 billion years of evolution for you to be where you are now: a conscious being capable of self-consciousness. It is from the depths of this interior awareness that you can shape your destiny. With imagination alone, you can shape what has never been before. An act of imagination is the seeding of an idea that will bear fruit... Read more »

A Freudian Interpretation Of Enlightenment

Sigmund Freud believed that human beings were motivated by two inner drives: eros and thanatos. Eros was the drive for life, for more of it, for the abundance and fullness of it. Thanatos was its opposite, the urge to overcome the disappointments of life by craving forgetfulness and, ultimately, oblivion through death. While most of Freudianism has been debunked because his ideas, although exciting to the imagination, lack self-consistency, observed verification, and close correlation with reality,... Read more »

How The Ego Dominates And Hides Your True Self

What is the one reason that most societies don’t work very well, since the start of Sumer, the cradle of civilization? Why is the history of humankind a miserable one? What keeps us from living lives full of hope, harmony, and flourishing success? It is domination. Western Civilization started in the squabbling little islands called Greece. This birthplace of democracy enforced its ideas through war and strife. Since then the history books have been written by those who won the wars. The... Read more »
