"In my romantic relationship, my partner does not complete me. He did not rescue me from myself, he did not save me from my miserable life, he did not fall in eternal love with me from just one look, he is not lost without me, he does not need me in his life…And neither is he stuck with me “forever”. Instead, we choose each other every step of the way. We ... Continue Reading >>
Accelerated Evolution
Sheila Winter Wallace: Upcoming Events May 13th and 20th
"Have you ever really considered what your core values for being alive are? What IS most important to you about being alive? And, if you have engaged in such a reflection, have you considered what has now changed? How was your life working for you before this world as we knew it came to an abrupt stop? How is this change in process suiting you now? As ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi New Blog Post: Becoming ‘Mother’
"I suppose you expect me to write that my whole world changed, that my perception of “who” I am shifted, that my whole life transformed. Truth of it is, I transformed my life long before I chose to become “mother”. I transformed it the moment I decided, viscerally, I was no longer wiling to be captive to abuse, addiction, drugs, self-destruction, ... Continue Reading >>
Coalescence of Collective Consciousness
I learned a long time ago: don't waste my life fighting what I don't want. Rather, pour mySelf into what I do want, and live. The following contributions from leaders in the field of evolution of consciousness offer consideration of a potent approach to creating reality. You may find something of meaning for yourself in this brief overview. ... Continue Reading >>
Resting Your Mind
The distractions are many and constant. No longer is the frenzied pitch intended to alert us to start or stop something - it is a constant reminder of the purported threat to our very lives. In the droning of background noise …. of television, laptops, tablets and phones; of YouTube, podcasts, live reporting on unfolding events or commentators’ views ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Surrender
Below, is a brief recording from some of the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. It’s worth watching/listening to, from beginning to end… and to discover that after decades of doing what you’ve been told to do, the answer is: STOP! And surrender. Surrender... the limitation of the intellect to the power of the body. Surrender… the truth that you are ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason on: Surrender and Intensity
"What I know about Gaia is that she tells the truth of her own experience without attachment to outcome. She expresses her surrender intensely along a continuum of gentle to fierce. Her most gentle expressions can be observed in the delicate flowers that push through the spring soil, and in the way new ferns unfurl on the rainforest floor. On the other end ... Continue Reading >>
Now or never: Boundless LeaderSelf™
Now - unlike at any other time in conscious memory - we are being called to create beyond the mindless and incremental that has so relentlessly shaped our collective reality. Our existing constructs of 'leadership' are proving themselves to be limited in the face of multiple incursions into the sanctity of dominion over our own lives, simultaneously ... Continue Reading >>
Emerging Futures Event : with Naomi Irons & Ella Schatzmann
"The illusions of an absolute reality ‘out there’ have been shattered, making visible the fact that so much of what we’ve been taught or held to be true or necessary, simply are not. The magnitude of what is in actuality our collective and individual choices are being exposed. In this abrupt and global pause from status quo, the earth is rejuvenating; ... Continue Reading >>
New Normal?
Transhumanism: A Walk on the Wild Side
Whatever we face, there is always a version of it and then a lighter version. The degree to which we are both willing and able to tolerate an assault on our existing structures of beliefs/values/attitudes (i.e. reality) will dictate which version we choose for ourselves. Personally? I have always preferred the deep end of the pool. Given this particular ... Continue Reading >>
Audio Clips for Challenging Times: Deb, Naomi, Sheila, Ella
"In response to what now presents, I am excited to share audio clips from The Virtual Village, a meeting space for expansive conversations held regularly during these changing times with Deb Gleason, Sheila Winter Wallace, Naomi Irons and Ella Schatzmann. All four of us have deeply immersed themselves in the WEL-Systems® framework and speak to these changing ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: A new blog post on parenting
"The two of us, as partners, have created a life where we are both fully present for our son, to the best of our abilities. We chose to co-create him out of love; we chose to stay at home the first few months to adapt to the new lifestyle; we choose to split the chores and responsibilities equitably; we choose to raise our son together. The evolving ... Continue Reading >>
Poetry of Predicament Podcast: Trance State Interrupted
Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years. Each of us has borne witness to the evolution of the other, marked by a shared deep sense of potential greater than any fear; and a willingness to simply invite and allow that which presents.... and trusting it to lead. In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>
Three Things
The challenges continue, as billions around the globe are faced with affronts to their deep commitment to habits of body and mind. Gone are the days of ’normal’… when it seemed that the greatest of challenges would rise up in the lives of others - but not my own. In this moment, I am mindful of three things on which I must keep my focus: * I don’t know ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: Conscious parenting demands conscious parents
A conversation for the time we're in! In this moment, the trance of the last 100 years is deeply disturbed. The next steps we take will determine if we are entrained into a new trance... or if we awaken to a life outside of trance. It really is up to us. ... Continue Reading >>
Paradigm shift
The gateway to a paradigm shift will not be found with the intellect. Only the body has the capacity for the processing speed and volume of information required to take us there. ... Continue Reading >>
Yuval Noah Harari: We become what we think about
No matter what the moment presents, we are faced with deciding how it's going to go. Either (A) we allow the moment to become the context for our decisions, or (B) we expand the context of who/what we are from within which we make choices that redefine the moment. Perhaps not as familiar, habituated or easy as (A) might appear to be, (B) has a future that ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: Poetry of Predicament podcast
Another potent exploration of how else we might choose to live our lives today.... particularly in the face of a massive and global 'pause' in the business-as-usual lifestyle expectations. Check out Deb Gleason in conversation with Dean Walker on the Poetry of Predicament podcast. As I listened to Deb speak of the ease with which she can now embrace a ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Focus on Resourcefulness!
"This global pause to be still, let go and let god, invites me to consider what I'd like to contribute in these times of rapid fire uncertainty... contributions that will nourish one's body, mind and soul in ways that will transform pain into peace and possibility. What is it that you need to lead yourself out of overwhelm and into the certainty of your own ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: New post from the coast!
"I could suddenly see through it all, and I remained determined to follow my inner voice. I decided that the dominant culture could not have me back, and each attempt they made to invite me back toward the pack mentality strengthened my internal resolve. The truth is, it has always been my life, and my life has never been up for debate. My life was never ... Continue Reading >>
Masterful Liars
It is not a good or a bad time… it is simply the time we are in. We find ourselves here and now because we have what it takes to move through this; and if we are both willing and able to embrace this moment - without resistance, without fear and without the desire to run - we will find our way through. I am here and now because the I AM (the ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Toward the Light
I see no value in seeking to paralyze ourselves with fear. 60 Minutes Australia has gone a very credible job presenting a full picture. Not pretty... and not a surrender to our sense of desperation, either. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a freight train! ... Continue Reading >>
Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
FREE ~ Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Provocative times call for provocative choices. This is one of those times. In a recent post, I shared a TEDtalk re COVID-19. What stood out for me is that this particular virus transforms (attacks is one way of thinking of it - transforming is quite another) the lungs. In my world, from a CODE Model™ perspective, the lungs are the 4th Chakra (AIR ... Continue Reading >>
Intimate and Personal Truth
A deeply intimate and personal truth, owned unapologetically, fuels our creations. ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Bottom Line
Radical Acceptance
I wonder how many times we have to forget something in order for us to become willing and able to remember.... ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Truth
Deeper truths cry out for stronger voices. Time and Space seek to welcome the forces of expansion and creation rather than succumb to compression and demise. In the deep intuitive of a woman's body lives the seed of a thriving world. Perhaps we would be wise to simply listen. ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: An Invitation to Thrive!
I share with you an email recently received from Deb Gleason as she continues to carve out new paths for her own evolution. When we choose accelerated personal evolution as a way of Being, it really never does end. Take a moment and consider Deb's invitation to discover personal resilience and resourcefulness in a world that presents increasingly rapid ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Women, Leadership and Creation
"Today, I know that as woman, I am creator of my own life. The only validation I require to lead is that of my own intuition. I trust that we are designed to embrace that which has been a threat to patriarchy (note, not men) for tens of centuries and thousands of cultures worldwide: our ability to lead from our unique and intuitive femininity. Our ability to ... Continue Reading >>
Being ‘done’
No amount of understanding or explaining will ever give you permission to be fully alive. Your body knows - long before your intellect - when you’re ‘done’. Life explodes with potential the moment you simply trust your body to lead. ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: New Voice in the Blogosphere
Wow... I must be on some kind of a roll! So much presenting and moving around; so many words in my mouth that seem to need an escape through this final portal to a vast and open expanse of possibility. Although I am no longer here on a regular basis, I am grateful that there remains an outlet for my expression (sporadic as it may be) when I cannot contain ... Continue Reading >>
The Long and Short of it All
As a child, I may well have been described as ‘precocious’ and ’strong willed’. Never one to agree to anything just to appease, or to embrace pretence for peace over discovery (despite the likely chaos to follow) I was also considered by some to be ‘difficult’ (translation: a pain in the ass!). Truthfully? Not much has changed. Now in my 70th year, my ... Continue Reading >>
What’s important to you about being alive?
As far back as I can recall, my curiosities have often proven to be deeply annoying to many of those around me. Over time, if that changed at all, it was with an increasing perturbation of the murky waters of the status quo. I wanted to see what was under the surface… to see what littered the bottom that might trip us up should we choose to attempt to stand ... Continue Reading >>
Perspective of Self
Recently, I had an email exchange with a wonderful woman who is both courageous and curious about her own potential, knowing only too well that she will be the model for her children to discover their own. Over the past few weeks, she has been listening to the 'Decloaking and Living Authentically' audio materials and likely heard my comments re my own long ... Continue Reading >>
2020: Random Thoughts into the Doomosphere
January 1, 2020: the start of yet another year. I woke up this morning to my first thought of: 7 Layer Dip. (That in itself is highly unusual since my first thought is pretty much always about coffee….). You may know the dip I’m referring to: designed to grace a nacho chip after you’ve selected it and before it arrives at your mouth. The metaphor of ... Continue Reading >>
Evolution unending: unmarked territory beckons
As always, my time spent with the amazing and precious LesDebs (Deb Ozarko and Deb Gleason) has left me with more to ponder. During a very recent conversation, we found ourselves travelling along a familiar path of exploring what evolution - for its own sake rather than for the need to solve a problem - requires and demands of us. At one point, we came ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: A Journey of Self-Reclamation
"I’ve come to discover that when it came to reclaiming my life, there was something much more powerful than willpower available to me. What I’ve discovered is the power of willingness. The willingness to find instead of eternally seek. The willingness to speak my truth, at the moment that it presents. The willingness to stand alone, and to sit in my ... Continue Reading >>
Tenets of a Life Well Lived
I believe we live in a Sea of Intelligence; that wholeness is our essential Nature; that reality unfolds as required to lead us back to ourSelves. I believe that the greater the upheaval, the greater our need to pause... and consider: who have we been that brought us to this place? And who else must we become to create anew? ... Continue Reading >>
No Filters
I like being at this place in my life. I no longer seek permission, full in the realization that I already am that permission, for myself. Finally, on the cusp of the curve of final release, I am without filters. Although often highly selective about doing so, I find myself very fortunate to continue to be invited into the lives of the amazing (and ... Continue Reading >>
How will I know?
I am surrounded by these courageous and highly intentional women who are deeply committed to their own evolution... for its own sake. I am in regular contact with a few of them and take great delight in the honour of bearing witness as they reclaim more and more of the territory of the authentic Self. Every day, they gain both strength and ease in being ... Continue Reading >>
My conversation with Anne Berubé
I find that with the passage of time, I become more discerning about my time. After all, my time IS my life and I am committed to living my life in a meaningful, joyous and life-enhancing way. Enter Anne Berubé. Anne and I go back many, many years. Today, she is a best-selling Hay House author and a remarkable young woman who has touched the lives of ... Continue Reading >>
The Beating Heart of Climate Change
As is likely for many of you, I am mindful of a ‘quickening’…. not just a bringing-on of more of the status quo, faster and more intensely…. but the arrival of a new heartbeat. Like the moment in the pregnancy when you first hear the baby’s heartbeat and you know - in every cell of your body - that this New Life is coming your way. The heartbeat that I ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: A Mom Facing into the Chaos
Naomi Irons was invited to be in conversation with Dean Walker on the Poetry of Predicament podcast: Conscious living and parenting in the face of global collapse and predicament. I just finished listening to their potent and authentic exchange. Deeply moved… awash in the Sacred that is our birthright… knowing that I now know my hope lives rooted in ... Continue Reading >>
Emerging Intelligence: The power of staying in the conversation
Sometimes, at first notice, none of it makes any sense. The intellect's need for logic, reason, evident progression, etc. tends to force a 'practical' conclusion long before a life-altering one would naturally and organically find its way to the surface. Having both the willingness and the ability to simply stay.... fully present, engaged and engaging.... ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change: What do we tell our children?
Yesterday, another compelling conversation with Deb Ozarko in her Deep Adaptation Forum Q & A with Jem Bendell. In these challenging times, the information shared and perspectives explored will (I believe) make great sense to those who are struggling to come to terms with that which is unfolding before their very eyes. I encourage you to find a ... Continue Reading >>
Women and the Future of the World
Collusion: the path to isolation
As change continues to press itself upon us, many find themselves falling away from the core of their Being... seeking some way of reclaiming a sense of internal safety and stability. As we lose our way, the pull to embrace collusion with others replaces the alignment we once had with ourselves. In a world steeped in apparent expanding collusion, we ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of the Process: BSI
Another meaningful discovery from Stela Shakti on her journey of accelerated personal evolution! In her most recent post Quantum Healing: an experience of Body-Spirit Integration, we are given the opportunity to bear witness to her discoveries as she ventures into that dance with Sheila Winter Wallace in her BSI experience. As always, Stela beautifully ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change: A Deeply Intimate and Personal Affair
Every time I spend a dollar, I remind myself that doing so is a 'yes' vote to the manufacturers of whatever it is that I'm paying for. By buying it... by bringing it into my life... I'm saying that whatever they're doing to make this available to me: I'm ok with that. Waiting for politicians and governments to make a difference in these increasingly ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change – the facts
Observations
Have you noticed how time is moving more quickly? Are you noticing that more things seem easily forgotten… quickly becoming irrelevant when in times past, they would have seemed essential to retain? Can you feel the degree to which what once mattered, no longer does? As a species, we’re changing. Our planet is changing. Our future is changing. And through ... Continue Reading >>
Simple Choices – Complex Results
In my retirement, my attention has turned to recognizing, acknowledging and deeply appreciating how immensely fortunate I am to have family and friends that I cherish. For decades, I was drawn to engage in what was, for me, the only way I knew how: caring about and focused on how we, as human beings, were expressing so far below what was possible for us; and ... Continue Reading >>
Voice in the Wilderness of Bio Collapse
Another powerful, thought-provoking and compelling post by Deb Ozarko! I've been following the 'climate change' conversation for a very long time. From the early days with James Lovelock (Gaia Hypothesis) and Ervin Laszlo (co-founder of the Club of Budapest - new paradigms in science and consciousness) to the current growing roster of deeply committed and ...

Synchronicity….
Don't you just love how it all works?!?!?!?! First, the TedTalk on women and anger; and then, this powerful, unique and individual expression from one woman and her deeply committed personal journey. Check out Stela Shakti blog post for today: Breath: The Vehicle to Personal Evolution Can it be that simple? Yes. Can it be that powerful? ... Continue Reading >>
Line in the sand…..
I've been working with women for close to 30 years. Two things that have always stood out in my ever-deepening conversations with them: they are often shocked and terrified by the depth of their own rage; and they are pissed to discover that their well-honed and practised 'appropriate-ness' will not take them where they want to go. They are ... Continue Reading >>
Creeping Reality
“Reality!” We say that like it is an absolute and we all share it. Yet, I know ‘reality’ to be fluid…. fickle… at times even, whimsical… and unwilling to be boxed. There is the one that is visible to me through my personal sensing of it - the one for which I calibrate as I look out my window and notice the hills in the distance, the rising sun and the ... Continue Reading >>
Vegan Awareness Moment : Cultural Coma of Food
Wow... two posts in one day. That's got to be some kind of record for me.... in my retirement! I came across this short video clip (3:18) that addresses plant protein sources vs meat. Take a moment to ponder how deep the protein myth permeates our cultural conditioning. Coincidentally, Deb Ozarko's new blog post included a number of references to ... Continue Reading >>
Mind Share: Possibilities
Another insight into the joys of my retirement: I have an abundance of ‘empty space’ into which I can flow my interests. For those of you who have come to know me over time, you already know my interests encompass things like abrupt climate change, biocentrism (Robert Lanza), transhumanism (from Joseph Farrell to Ray Kurzweil), GMO’s, vaccinations, the ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Inaction: Denial or Design?
To others, I leave the task of the clarion call. The task of identifying all that is not right in the world. The task of naming the forces that will move us closer and closer to the edge. The task of tracking the inventory of the seemingly insurmountable. I recognize the need for it and I also recognize that none of these are representative of why I exist at ... Continue Reading >>
Voices Rising
I'm really getting the twists and turns of this 'retirement' thing! Have to admit: I am settling in nicely. Now a first-time Gramma (with the most adorable Little Human in the world within easy smooching distance!), I greatly appreciate the pace of my life as well as the proximity to all that is meaningful for me, within it. And right at the top of that ... Continue Reading >>
A Storied Existence
We are a species enamoured with and mesmerized by our own stories. Our myths and unwinding recollections permeate not only all that we do but all that we seem to become. And yet, ’story’ can only live in the past or the future while our body can only live in the moment of the current breath. We live in the ’now’ where there is no story - there is only the ... Continue Reading >>
Leadership
Nature’s Final Lesson: The House Always Wins
Until now, we have always recovered. We have embraced the folly of our choices and trusted that when we were done, the nurturing world would still be there; that we would find new footing in a familiar, reliable place and move on. We trusted that when we had wreaked our violence against each other and other living forms, all would return to normal as the ... Continue Reading >>
Shortcut to Waking Up
Want to know the truth of who you are? Want to know how you’re experienced by others? Here’s a shortcut to finding out. Listen to yourself when you speak - either to yourself or others. Pay attention to what comes out of your mouth. Notice the language you use privately… inside yourself… when you’re talking to yourself. Then, notice the language ... Continue Reading >>
Taking Ownership of a New Year
Growth in consciousness doesn’t depend on the will of the intellect or its possibilities but on the intensity of the inner urge. (Egyptian proverb) ======================== January 1, 2019. Today is likely a more meaningful day than most to declare: "Today, is the first day of the rest of my life!" I could give you the long version of the long story ... Continue Reading >>
Discovery: Free Access to CD 1
“True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge; it is an awakening of consciousness which goes through successive stages.“ (Egyptian Proverbs - Luxor Temple) =================================== Soon, I will be launching a new website for the WEL-Systems Institute that will reflect what I have long known to be true: No one can want something for you ...

Incomplete (yet meaningful) thoughts!
Sometimes, it just lands a bullseye. It. The proverbial point of no return. The moment of acquisition of clarity. The great and memorable flash of insight that - in a breath! - changes a world… and a life. The more untethered I become to matter, the less matter holds together as a ‘fact’ or ‘truth’. As I gain distance and it fades into the background, ... Continue Reading >>
Death: Vibration of the Unspeakable
This exploration is a fuzzy one. It is disjointed, lurching from one thought to the next. As I begin, I have no idea where it will end. I only know that now that is not the time to distrust a process of Life that has been there for me for the last 40 years. As I begin, I know it will take me where I need to go. For many, many years, I have focused my ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 10 – The Next Inhalation
Here’s what I have discovered about myself in this 10-day writing process. It is clear to me that I am here: To agitate. I have no memory of ever being other than that as an expression of Being. Even in the innocence of no intention, simply being my Self was agitating to those around me. So be it. To leave no conversation unengaged. Whether it is ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 9 – Living with Amnesia
Today is Day 9 of 10. A sense of relief. Like the horse heading back to the barn at the end of a long day. A sense of peace, as this leg of the journey comes to an end; and a sense of the unearthed provocation that I know awaits. In my experience, it is impossible to ask questions without knowing intuitively that in doing so, new (and often, bigger) ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 8 – Conscious Consumption
Inside myself, the ’tone’ of my own enquiry has shifted. As I move from what I know or have known, to what I know I don’t know, there is a sense of being set adrift in a weightless environment. Perhaps this is what a walk in space might feel like. I am more present to the moment; more in the ’now’ as I release myself from searching and just wait…. for the ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 7 – The Danger of Conversation
When this 10-day ‘Whispers from Within’ process first emerged, oh-so-long-ago, it did so not in pieces but as one, congruent whole. It only followed that once the 7 layers of discovery piece was written, there would naturally emerge a process to coax out its expression in a way that could be generalized and shared. From that came this 10-day writing ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 6 – Allowing the Hunger to Feed
As one who trusts deeply in the intuitive… that inner truth often devoid of outer evidence…. I am naturally drawn to what is called prophecy or the pre-cognitive. How could it be otherwise? Perhaps the difference lies, for me, in the source of the precognition: my own or that of another. When that of another, the same principles apply as they do for any ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 5 – Fluidity of Truth
I woke up with a start at 3:30 am. And now, as I approach 5:00 am and am still awake, the message is clear to me: get up! Stop thinking about engaging and just engage. And so, here I am. I’ve read and re-read your responses many, many times. With each pass, I am attuned to my own experience of myself through the read. I recognize certain things about ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 4 – Follow the Agitation
It seems like I’ve been in this exploration forever…… Each of you, as an expression of some aspect of my own consciousness, is calling up within me a different facet of this prism of exploration. I read and re-read your thoughts many times, allowing what moves to stabilize before I move on. I am choosing to be in this process with a relaxed rigour: ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 3 – Provocation
There are no accidents in the intelligent Universe that is my reality. I started my day by listening to Yuval Noah Harari in conversation about the two most important skills for the rest of your life. As I listened, two significant distinctions emerged for me: the boundaries between mind (the Signal of the I AM that I am) and body (the exquisite, organic ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 2 – Perception, Judgement, Creation
Thank you all, for being here. It is evident to me that the collective mind that we are, knows something. It is evident to me that we are willing to know what we know, in the face of the absence of any evidence for ‘it’ to be known or ‘real’. I am reminded of a summer storm. The sun is still out… but the wind changes. It ‘feels’ different; blows differently; ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 1
I begin with much appreciation for your enthusiastic willingness to be part of this journey with me. Each of you already knows that those who step into our worlds are in some way a living expression of some aspect of our own consciousness. I enter this journey with all of you with the recognition that what calls to me requires… and demands!…. that I engage a ... Continue Reading >>
It’s not always easy… or fun
In my decades of working with others, I have witnessed the many come and go. Arriving enthusiastically, seeking resolution and hoping to find a formula - and departing quickly and in great disappointment at the realization that 'not here' is the outcome of their search; moving on in that search, to the next stop along the path of trusting that what they ... Continue Reading >>
Reality: The Music Behind the Dance
“You can only dance to the music you hear." That thought would not leave me alone! By 3:00 am, I had lost count of nagging reverberations in my mind, ensuring the desire to sleep was surrendered to a greater curiosity about my own internal workings. The relentless pursuit of my attention - like a message seeking some sign of its having been received - was ... Continue Reading >>
Locking Eyes with The Beast
When we separate ourselves from our creation, we lose all capacity to affect its unfolding. We created this - and to pretend otherwise only leaves us at the mercy of this unclaimed/orphaned manifestation. In that, we lose ourselves into the victims we believe ourselves to be and are swallowed up by our own powerlessness. I offered that thought many years ... Continue Reading >>
The Chooser Shapes the Choice
It has been said that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience - we are spiritual beings having a human experience. It may well be that the Great Game of our existence is to find our way back and reclaim the very spark of our creation. Perhaps, in this, there is no greater evidence of the power of choice, to determine the context from which ... Continue Reading >>
Farewell to Facebook
Today, I left Facebook. Can’t even remember how long I’ve been on Facebook - it has become such a habit of body and mind. When bored, I would flip through postings for pictures of my family members; updates on Gaia’s latest global messages; or something funny or inspirational to propel me through my day. And those are but a few of the reasons for my ... Continue Reading >>
Finding my tribe…
Perhaps, if we can find grace in our own mortality, we can find courage in our day-to-day expression of Life. One of the great benefits of ‘retirement’ is a redistribution of time. Same number of hours in a day - different allocation of how I embrace them. So often, I would be frustrated by the many, many books, articles, videos, podcasts, etc. that I ... Continue Reading >>
How can I tell?
Seems that when the Spirit moves, so do the fingers…… There are two things that occupy much of my Life these days: my family my willingness and ability to choose meaningfully and mindfully. The first - my family - is an easy one. I spent decades away from my family, doing the things that ‘had to be done’ to make life manageable. In far too many ... Continue Reading >>
Attachments and Stories
This one has been nagging at me for a while…. Saturday is the Baby Shower for my truly delightful daughter-in-law and Mom-to-be. My Grandson is expected to make his arrival early July. I find myself wondering many things about him. As much as I know it is expected that he will learn from all of us, will we be wiling to learn about ourselves, from him? He ... Continue Reading >>
To Share or Not to Share: that is the question….
I choose to stay informed. In particular, I choose to stay informed about climate change, AI development and the transhumanism movement - my top three on a much longer list. In addition, bits and pieces of ‘life’ drift in and out of my awareness. These include local events in my community, what my friends and colleagues are up to, the lives of my sons and ... Continue Reading >>
New Book by Deb Ozarko: soon to be released
It came as a surprise. Although I knew that Deb Ozarko was working on another book, I was honoured when she asked me if I would write the Foreword for this new creation. With a sense of great possibility, I enthusiastically received this gift from her with a deep sense of the Sacred and the inevitable. Very soon, her new book will be available. In the ...
