Have been meaning to share this one for a long time so, here you go! One of the things I admire most about the work of Dr. Joseph P Farrell is his ability to find the pieces; put them together; and from there, notice the emerging dots to connect. The 'big picture' is mesmerizing... and a little bit terrifying. This conversation with Greg Carlwood of The ... Continue Reading >>

Peter Diamandis: The Future is Faster Than You Think
I sometimes wonder: Is this (i.e. pandemic) 'the thing' or is it what is being used to distract us from 'the thing' (i.e. biosphere collapse)? Don't really have a clue... and the good news is: it's all pretty compelling! We really are living at a remarkable time in human existence. If all meaning is context dependent (which I believe it is), what is ... Continue Reading >>
What is a Human Being?
Louise and Dean: New Conversation in Chaotic Times
My conversations with Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast always open doors to my own as-yet unexpressed thinking. This one proved particularly potent for me. For some time, I have had no interest in speaking, blogging or even journaling. Every thought I have seems to be one that I've had so many times before. As I listened to the podcast ... Continue Reading >>
Choosing what shapes us
For some time, I have held the belief that if we are to survive as a species, we must emerge to express beyond the limitations held in place by our stories about what we are. Stories that tell us that we are not that which we seek; that we are creatures that must be guided by some greater intelligence that lives outside of us; that without some 'other' to ...

Stela Murrizi: Covid-19 and Conventional Narrative
"When it comes to Covid-19, that voice of wisdom tells me that the conventional narrative is inherently untrustworthy and full of countless contradictions. The loudest voices on conventional media AND conspiracy theory channels only spew messages of fear, hatred and shame. We are now experiencing polarization in narratives, and therefore ideologies, like ... Continue Reading >>
Reboot: What’s important to you about being alive?
I originally posted this line of enquiry in January 2020 - and some things just don't go stale. The pursuit of a meaningful life demands an intentional, focused and regular exploration of that which lives within. The invitation for a more authentic and expansive expression of our Being to unveil itself to us cannot be overestimated in its impact and ... Continue Reading >>
New post: Stela Shakti
Culturally... globally... we are caught/trapped in the bands of the hurricane. Every moment of every day, we seek the right information that we might make the right choices - for ourselves and those we care about. Consider, for a moment, how life might change were we to move into the eye of the hurricane; move into that place of vast stillness and calm; ... Continue Reading >>
Where did ‘people’ go?
As you watch/listen, notice the language and the absence of the reference to 'people'. Instead, what we have are 'robots' and 'humans' - both owned, operated and directed resources. Bodes well for the transhumanism intent. Buckle up! It's not going to get better. ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: It’s Absolutely About Race
Another compelling and timely offering: ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic: Swimming Upstream
An expanded perspective requires more than a sound-byte approach to living; one that goes beyond headlines and talking heads and demands focused attention for hours at a time. In our 10-minute digital world, that has become a foreign concept for the vast majority of us. Not good/bad, right/wrong... and it has a profound impact on how we see the world and ... Continue Reading >>
Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world. At this time in our human experience, the frequency and range of choices with which we are faced is offering up the opportunity for us to begin to notice that underlying process and ... Continue Reading >>
Legal Challenge to COVID-19 Measures Filed in Ontario Superior Court
For details of this recent (August 11, 2020) undertaking, click here. This activity is concurrent with similar challenges to the 'party line' now being mounted by equally informed, credentialed and experienced professionals who tell a very different story relative to the last several months of our collective, global lives. These perspectives are not ... Continue Reading >>
Evolution: From mindless habits to mindful choices
As the pressure continues to mount for compliance driven by fear and the absence of truth, paying attention to what moves inside us becomes more and more evident as the force for critical difference. As we wipe the deep sleep from our eyes, we begin to recognize: we are no longer children, at the mercy of purported 'authority figures' who know better than ... Continue Reading >>
New Interview: Sheila Winter Wallace
An opportunity to consider the bigger picture and notice how the moment is sourced from and shaped by the moments that came before... unless we mindfully choose otherwise. Another provocative exploration with Sheila Winter Wallace as you sip your morning coffee. ... Continue Reading >>
New Post – Naomi Irons: Inner Wild
"Not surprisingly, after week 3 (activating the power center) of our Living Fully Through Conscious Choice experience, I woke this morning to an inner roar. That Elemental part of myself became a visceral surge from the depths of my Being rising to the surface, transforming all that was in its path in the most life giving way. It became immediately clear to ... Continue Reading >>
Going on a Data Diet
Some time ago, I removed myself from all forms of social media. In one fell swoop, Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In disappeared from my life. I thought I would miss them. Truth is: I don’t. With the passage of time, my curiosity expanded and led me into my most recent experiment: freeing myself from unlimited consumption of all the delights of the ... Continue Reading >>
How then, shall I live?
Today, I am at peace. Having chosen to live in quiet surroundings (well… most of the time…), I enjoy the many moments of my day when I become aware of an inner cue. (I am grateful that, in such truly turbulent times, I can still notice them; that my own 'listening' is not yet drowned out from the constant dump of drama and angst that we are so encouraged ... Continue Reading >>
The Search for Answers
Here’s what I’ve discovered after 30 years of engaging with others: People don’t need advice or to have their answers put in place by another. They need a more powerful and effective way to find answers for themselves; and find value in the process that takes them there. ... Continue Reading >>
Dr. Zach Bush: Our COVID-19 Assumptions are Wrong
Now available with Brian Rose on the London Real platform, this is one of Dr. Zach Bush's best! In my world, all meaning is context dependent. In this extensive conversation, we are encouraged to consider the bigger picture within which this pandemic is unfolding. Yes, it does demand attention as a non-allopathic, non-mainstream and alternative ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Guilt and Changing My Mind
"...I had lived with a specific rule - an obligatory one - outside of my conscious awareness throughout my entire life - that I could not change my mind. For me, the right to change my mind has become a required rite of passage I have been actively advocating for with others for over the last 15 years in my life’s ‘work’. It is not that I have never changed ... Continue Reading >>
Your life…
... is your own creation. It does not happen by accident or coincidence or synchronicity. It is sculpted by your hand, guided by the clarity of your own intention, sourced and sustained by your deep and abiding connection to Self. There is no mystery to it - and it is most effective when embraced as the emergence from a state of Being rather than a ... Continue Reading >>
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
Trust Your Body
Never trust anything that does not sit easily in the body. Question everything and in so doing, allow the pieces to fall into place. You don’t need to know - and you do need to be willing to wonder…. ... Continue Reading >>
Are we doomed?
Since my last urge to write (Ascent into Chaos), I have found myself in varying enquiries about the apparent trajectory on which we find ourselves. Many are troubled…agitated… about what may well lie ahead. I can appreciate that some would conclude that we’re doomed. The way I see it, being ‘white’ makes it less aggressive… and being ‘old’ makes it more ... Continue Reading >>
Ascent into Chaos
“The All is mind; the Universe is mental.” (The Kybalion; 1st Principle - The Principle of Mentalism) I am grateful for this place where I can write what is meaningful for me to express. In reading what I write, I become able to detect what had remained hidden to my own discernment. I do not write to reveal - I write to discover what remains ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Walking Away
I think of the power of walking away as akin to the power of silence. The choice to be still rather than be drawn into the vortex of a presenting option. An option and a choice are not the same thing. An option is presented to me - a choice is something I create. Both of these create a gap.... open up a space which to many may appear 'empty' and yet, ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting: The Power of Authentic Self
Join Naomi Irons and her guest - Anne Bérubé - in a potent exploration of the process of parenting; and a revelation of where the power lies to embrace and open potential for our children. As our turbulent times continue to expand, it is not enough to teach our children the basics - we must introduce them to their innate capacity to trust the truth of ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi on: “You Complete Me”… – NOT!
"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 >>
Not to be missed: Dr. Zach Bush, MD re COVID-19
How to you determine who to believe? What separates the politics of fear from intelligent analysis? From my experience, you have to incorporate a lot of information that you will, ultimately, simply delete from memory. And then, you come across someone like Dr. Zach Bush - an Internist, Endocrinologist and Hospice Care. The entire video is worth paying ... 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 >>
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 >>
Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... 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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
Struggle and Dis-ease
There really are no accidents in the Universe. Today, I received and posted a comment on a blog from several years ago... and yet, still relevant as we move through our global pandemic. Below, is the reader's comment: "Synchronicity — when I “randomly” choose an article from your site to read and it is EVERYTHING I wanted to read to feel inspired. (A ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
Shame: Culture’s most powerful weapon
I was recently invited to be part of a small group of women who have embarked on a 10-day Whispers from Within writing process on the topic of 'shame'. I am always willing to say 'yes' to such an exploration as I hold shame as the most destructive force for shaping culture that underpins the parenting process. The destroyer of souls! That which causes ... 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 >>
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? ...

Challenges
Our greatest challenge is never the one we think we’re facing – it’s always in the way we’re facing it. ... 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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
Hawaii: Theft of a Kingdom
“…the magic of maybe… “
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 >>
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 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 >>
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 >>
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 ...

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 ...

The Gift that is the Burden of Mind
I am coming to better recognize and understand the depth of my agitation around all that is unfolding in my larger world. I know this process well as it echoes what it was like in my house when I was growing up. Stuff happened. The more significant it was, the more we pretended it didn’t matter or worse, had not happened at all. Or we just looked away. ... Continue Reading >>
Guns…and the murder of our children
I really don’t know which runs deeper: the rage…. the outrage… the grief…. the sadness that the event took place. The disgust at the corruption… the greed… the cowardice… the betrayal… the indifference... the deception of those in political, governmental and corporate power who allow it to be so. Hope lies in the powerful, raised voices of the young; ... Continue Reading >>
Infinite Grace
I recently chose to watch ‘The Post’ - the latest offering from Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. For me, the pivotal moment occurred when Katharine Graham - decked out in her finery to celebrate a friend’s latest adventure - was insistently interrupted by her assistant to attend to an urgent phone call from her editor. Haltingly, she takes her leave and heads to ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy - a word that for many causes chills down the spine, a churning deep in the belly and the desire to run and hide! It’s a word that is laden with judgements and labels, running the gamut of questionable intelligence to suspect morals; leaving this a topic that is often shunned and left to languish to the very last moment possible. Not only do ... Continue Reading >>
Breaking: Bone and Bondage
"When I am ‘in’ my mind, it cannot be hacked. When I am ‘out’ of my mind, some other can easily mimic the sound of my own voice and leave me thinking that I occupy that territory." It has been an interesting time. On December 12th, I broke a bone in my right shoulder. In that instant, movement became excruciatingly painful, resulting in my ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Women Shaping Culture
I believe that the future of the world is in the hands of women. It’s in how we choose to move through our lives, and our connections and interactions with others. It’s in our ability to trust in the inherent genius of living, organic systems and how they unfold and evolve. It lies in our willingness and ability to trust in our fear and do it anyway! I ... Continue Reading >>
Wake Up Call….
January 13, 2018 will long be remembered as the day the State of Hawaii held its breath. Things are changing. The intensity and speed of that change presses us to reconsider how we make choices in our lives: Before acting, pause and connect to your inner cues. The intelligence of new thought and insight will be found in that pause. Let go of ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Choosing to Emerge
The start of a new year and the opportunity to pause... and make it count! It can be a daunting prospect: carving out space and time to focus 100% of your attention on yourself; choosing to leave no stone unturned in acknowledging, out loud, what you know already moves within. Not in the usual bits-and-pieces approach but in a concerted and wholistic ... Continue Reading >>
The More Things Change…
I originally wrote the article on which this post is based in 2011. I could have written it this morning. (The original article can be found here.) I find myself neither hopeful nor hopeless, but pensive... even relaxed... as I continue to trust that I am, always have been and will continue to be the creator of my own experience and its corresponding ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Money, Self and Stuff
It’s that time of year, again. In a debt-driven economy dependent on perpetual consumption, December brings with it the biggest retail event of the year! Purported to open our hearts, for many this is more likely the press to open our wallets in some effort to meet or exceed expectations too often shaped by advertising and marketing hype. Who amongst us ... Continue Reading >>
Yuval Harari on Humanity, Social media, AI and our future
https://youtu.be/HMU08VI3jPM On teaching our children: "I would invest in emotional intelligence because they would need a lot of mental balance in order to cope with a very hectic and constantly changing world. Nobody knows how to teach EI on a massive scale. " I agree with the essential need to teach our children EI and I disagree with the notion ... Continue Reading >>
The Sharp Edge of Potential: CRISPR/Cas9
If you have ever doubted that the human body is a device, the following conversation may well press a few buttons for you. The following is taken from the work of Sam Harris (PhD in neuroscience): In this episode of the Waking Up podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Jennifer Doudna about the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas9. They talk about the biology of ... Continue Reading >>
