Wisdom in everyday life

  • Staying sane

    There is so much uncertainty in our world right now that trying to keep your head straight gets to being a job. You can’t take for granted that what you once “knew to be true” to be true, it just isn’t anymore. Believing the words of men, a hazard, and yet the higher plane isn’t… Read more

  • The review

    I just celebrated another birthday, Holy Shit, they come fast. Used to be 365 days between them, now what is it 6 weeks? Anyway…As part of my spiritual practice I spend some time during the weeks previous doing a review of a kind. I look back over the year and reexamine how the journey went.… Read more

  • Just another Manic Monday

    It’s hard to open the paper willy nilly now. In today’s world, one needs to have an eye closed and vision dimmed just in case it’s another manic Monday and the world is losing itself. It makes it hard to stay neutral when we seem to be going backwards on our earth journey rather than… Read more

  • Death and the cult

    On the 20th of March, I received a text from my daughter that her cat was dying. Not a surprise, because he was old and had had a nice long life. But the act of physical death makes it a surprise, as it’s not often a quiet or quick process. After a brief phone call,… Read more

  • Cult loyalty

    What a world we live in. After all these years and millennia, humans have not taken the idea of evolving seriously at all. It’s a free for all, this place. Filled with take what you want stepping over whom ever you need to, want more land take that too. We are a waring culture, a… Read more

  • The in-between

    I became fixated by the notions of cults when Yogi Bhajan first started getting negative press. A very naive response from me was that it couldn’t be true. He himself had taught us not to mess with your students. All through teacher training was this notion that being a kundalini teacher was a spiritual calling… Read more

  • The Irony

    Opened my email this morning to a letter requesting donations, I get this a lot due to my once being married to a multi-millionaire. It was funny because the organization doing the asking, was the one that already tried to wrap itself onto my financial house. These were the people ever ready with the sentence… Read more

  • In the beginning was it a cult?

    I had the great privilege of spending the bulk of my early adult years in northern Minnesota. And let me say, after 30 some years I do believe these people may just have a cult love for winter. But it’s a true God believing place, because the cold will take the breath from your lungs.… Read more

  • Are you kidding me…

    It’s funny when you think on our lives as one elongated story. Many chapters are the boring ones filled with mundane details outlining our struggles, and what happened along the way with the roster of people assigned to help and those who hurt. Also included are the other chapters containing the horror of your life… Read more

  • Life out of context

    So, in the category of what is going on, I say, life looks like a mystery bus tour. I’m seated on the bus in my part of the world looking out the window and who the hell knows where I am. Every day is different. One day I live in a rain forest and have… Read more
