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 >>

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 >>
Truth
I have always found truth far more powerful than acquiescence. Although sometimes difficult to hear and often fracturing of the status quo, it allows me to structure a future of my own choosing on a foundation that I can trust will be able to bear its weight. ... Continue Reading >>
Melissa Allison: Poetry of Predicament podcast
Yet another unique and potent expression of personal expansion in a seemingly collapsing world. A guest with Dean Walker on Poetry of Predicament podcast, Melissa adds her voice to those of other women well-experienced in and choosing to create their reality from a WEL-Systems® perspective. Melissa Allison speaks to the inner qualities that make it ... Continue Reading >>
Deb Gleason: Poetry of Predicament podcast
Yet another powerful and compelling voice for the unique journey that is available to us all. Deb Gleason in conversation with Dean Walker of the Poetry of Predicament podcast softens the edges on the jagged explorations that are always essential to the unearthed, more expansive expression of our Being. Particularly in these tumultuous times that promise ... 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 >>
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 >>
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: Birthright
"The letting go that preceded it all felt like I imagine death would feel like. I was freeing what once was contained deep within my human body AND all the ways I sought to hold that in check. My birthright. The right we each carry to simply BE and live from here." Sometimes, it has to look like an ending for us to be able to let go and claim the new ... 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 >>
The Single Snowflake
What we already know is like a single snowflake in the great blizzard of our existence. Too often, we remain profoundly ignorant of a life that could be lived from the much greater potential of what we really are. ... Continue Reading >>
Update: Women Awakening – Part 6 – Audio fix
For any who've been wondering where the Women Awakening: Part 6 audio file went.... It's back! It was brought to my attention that it had disappeared. Happy to say it is now available for any who were left hanging without a conclusion. Enjoy! ... 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
Potential Lives in the Pause….
My life has been keeping me busy with attending to the day-to-day necessities that come with a physical reality. Some are moments of pure delight (like the amazing transformation of my precious little Grandson, now almost a year old!). Others, moments of recall and recognition on behalf of one lost to themselves (like my Mom's continuing journey into the ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
Poetry of Predicament: with Deb Ozarko and Dean Walker
Now retired, I rarely engage in much beyond the joys of simply living my truly blessed life! However, every now and then, I am invited to be part of something that is so compelling to me I feel The Call to simply engage and see where it goes. Recently, I was invited to be in conversation with Dean Walker on the Poetry of Predicament podcast. In the ... 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 >>
Hawaii: Theft of a Kingdom
Climate Change – the facts
“…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 >>
Stress
Another powerful (and very practical) post from Stela Shakti - this one connecting stress, the body and the potential of transformation. Some practical advice at the end re moving through your day more mindfully. Enjoy the read! ... 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 ...

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 ...

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 >>
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 >>
Manifesto for Meaningful Moments
When it comes to the more-and-more evident reality of increasingly rapid and devastating climate change, I can’t seem to find the conversation that Im looking for so have decided to have it here. Over my many years in the program room with women, I have often said: If you don’t like the conversation you’re in, change it! Become more adept at hijacking the ... 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 >>
Promise: Echo of Another Time?
As a first-time, soon-to-be grandmother, I am becoming more acutely aware of my world. I ponder what can or will likely touch the life of this precious little Life that is making his way to us. In that query, I am filled with the sense of a great and joyous expectation… and an underlying, nagging feeling that all is not right in the world that ... 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 ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
Memory Lane: The Edge of Potential
Strong (think: power), intense (think: passion) and definite (think: purpose) - when directed at creating what we want in our lives rather than fending off or pressing away what we do not want in our lives - take on a flow that supports the creation of Life rather than its destruction; awakens others to that potential in themselves; and leaves behind a trail ...
