Do not speak of climate change. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of a rapidly changing climate? Do not speak of pandemics and vaccines. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of immense and collective pressure to comply without raising question or voice? As I celebrate my 70th birthday, I do so in the full awareness that I have ... Continue Reading >>
Quick Update
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 ...

Gregg Braden: Human By Design
Before we exercise our freedom to choose, we would be wise to listen... and allow ourselves to begin to understand all that we don't know, we don't yet know. ... 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 >>
Life is fluid..
If we were to allow ourselves to own that the process of living is fluid and not fixed, changing our mind would become the requisite underpinning of living a meaningful and joyous life. ... Continue Reading >>
Meg Wheatley: Warriors Wanted
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 >>
Deb Gleason: On Conscious Creation
"With willpower letting me down, I focused once again on manifestation, and I can see now that the problem I had was that I never did have the full picture. While in the past I’d done my best to hold the ideas of what I wanted, I also held beliefs that I was undeserving of what I desired. For the most part this belief was out of my awareness, having been ... Continue Reading >>
Upcoming Online Events: Sheila Winter Wallace
Ease of access. Convenience. A way of integrating new discovery into day-to-day living. All of these are available to those who choose to engage with others via technology. Perhaps, something may be missed without the face-to-face contact... and yet, so much more is gained by allowing ourselves to engage and not be deterred by our current set of ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting Podcast: Naomi Irons and Angela Burton
Another compelling exploration in the Poetry of Predicament podcast series; dedicated to fully embracing the magnificence of our imperfection as we navigate a more life-giving parenting process for ourselves and our children. These are not 'business as usual' times. We can feel the compression that is taking place on all levels of our expression, as a ... Continue Reading >>
Parenting: A Child is not a Legacy
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 >>
William Brown: the framework that shapes matter
Suicidal at 18, I knew that same-old/same-old was not a path for me to follow. In the face of a possible life shaped by antidepressants and alcohol (much evidence around me of it being a bad idea), I knew instinctively that I would have to deal with the intense pressure in my body to free myself from what I was told was 'real' and 'true' and 'right'. More ... Continue Reading >>
A timely thought….
The relationship between time and memory has always fascinated me. What comes to mind is the experience of one with amnesia... who remembers nothing of who they are and/or their life and its meaning/purpose/value. In that single moment of realization presents the opportunity to redefine the quality of their life. Meandering through all of that is the ... 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 >>
Dean Walker: Living Resilience – Deep Academy
That we know something does not mean that we know what to do with it, about it or because of it. Such is the state that we would be well advised to befriend. Regular readers will be familiar with Dean Walker's Poetry of Predicament podcast. Dean generously makes room for the vibration of different voices to resonate through the density of a locked-in, ...

Melissa Allison: New post on old choices
Creating new agreements, with intention Such is the topic of Melissa's latest offering on her blog. I read this one a couple of times, finding the choice of her language to be profoundly authentic and open; trusting that in her vulnerability she would find great strength. There is a grace to this… and a clarity of mind…. that exudes strength and ... 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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 ...

Dancing Like an Idiot
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

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 >>
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

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 >>

COVID-19: Bottom Line
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 >>
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? ...

Mind to Mind: Michael Cremo
What is 'reality'? What is 'truth'? What does one have to do with the other? In today's world, the answer to that question may well be: not much! In my unwavering curiosity about it all, I spend time allowing my own 'reality' to be freely infiltrated with the 'truth' of another. Putting aside personalities and idiosyncrasies, I get to sit back and ... Continue Reading >>
Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Episode 98 ~ with Holly Irons, Betty Carr-Braint, Wynne Macaskill Delaney One of the great benefits that comes with the massive wave of Baby Boomers moving through time, is the inescapable presence of women in their full expression as Cultural Crones (women 50+).

Women and Safety: Living an Awakened Life
Episode 87 ~ with Nancy Hanlon and Jaime Lowe-Roach For many women, the notion of safety is a fleeting thought – until we are on our own, find ourselves in unwanted situations or at the hands of being victimized by the cultural hum.

Leadership: The Deeper Dive into Self
Episode 82 ~ with Naomi Irons Far too often, the conversation about 'leadership' is one that positions it as something 'out there' that we need to study, strive for and eventually acquire.

Decloaking and Living Authentically: Gateway to Transformation
Episode 79 ~ with Ella Schatzmann In a world rife with the challenge of the moment and the promise of much more to come, it is not unusual for us to feel agitated, unsure and often overwhelmed.

Dodging a bullet?
It all feels very different when it's personal; when someone you care about is living the challenges that Gaia is unleashing upon the planet. As I watch the images from Canmore, Alberta to all around the globe, I am reminded of the 'hype' around the impending global-annhilation predicted for 2012. And here we are - 2013 and counting... and our devastation ... Continue Reading >>
Creativity: Living an Awakened Life
Episode 78 ~ with Melissa Owoc What would life be without the ability to see what does not yet exist; and to capture the unexplored perspective, in a way that allows it to be shared with another?

Sanity, Silence and the Sacred
Sometimes, there is more going on than I can manage with logic and reason. The pieces on the playing board of my life seem to have minds of their own and I fall into believing that my job is to just try to keep up!

Ceremony: A State of Being

'Ceremony' takes on new meaning when we come to realize that it is not ... Continue Reading >>
From Impulse to Expression
In our lives, we travel many roads and experience many discoveries. Perhaps the greatest of them all is to tap into the wellspring of genius that lives within, waiting only to weave its way through the network of beliefs of our own limitations. Once found, we become free to create and manifest. Louise A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = ... Continue Reading >>
Revisiting Possibility
Lots going on in my life, these days. Sometimes, I need to be reminded that I am always choosing; that I am always the one making the decisions and setting the boundaries on my world.

The Jagged Edge of Possibility

Although it's not always easy and it's not always fun, the ... Continue Reading >>
Accelerated Healing: Choosing a Different Path
Healing - of body, mind and spirit - is a choice.

The following recording offers an invitation allow ourselves to trust what moves inside us; reconsider the possibilities; and ... Continue Reading >>
Engaging With Others to Feed Your Soul
Episode 74 ~ with Leona McIsaac Moran For the vast majority of women, cultural conditioning imbeds and demands that women be the caretakers of others and of the relationships. This frequently requires putting the interests and needs of others ahead of their own, leading to a great sense of detachment from their own dreams, ambitions and intentions. ... Continue Reading >>
Remembering Who I Am….
Given the recent circumstances of my life, I was drawn to listen to this invitation to remember who I am.

I hope it will prove as meaningful for you as it has been for me. A ... Continue Reading >>
Awakening Matriarchal Consciousness
Episode 73 ~ with Naomi Irons "The future of the world is in the hands of women." Kofi Annan Great change is occurring all around us.

Reconsidering Commitment
Today, I am revisiting the things that have long held meaning, and wonder: do they still? My commitment is and always must be, first, to mySelf. Today, I am mindful, that without a willingness to revisit my life as a living and evolving expression of 'being', my commitments become hollow and empty. I share this recording with all of you and invite you to ... Continue Reading >>
Living Life with an Edge: Daring to Awaken
What far too many women overlook is the intensity and consistency of the cultural conditioning that ensures we have no edges! Without edges, we are more willing and able to be moulded and shaped; with a greater likelihood of never noticing that we have disappeared from any notion or intention of our own creation and expression. Like matter cannot form ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of the Journey
Episode 71 ~ with Nancy Hanlon It's may not always easy and it may not always be fun... but for those who are called to the powerful and compelling journey of their own evolution, it is always worth it!

Reaping what we mindfully sow
It's Wednesday and I'm mindful of my commitment to myself to listen to/for something that will expand my world. This one (on Evolution by Intention), I've listened to a few times, mindful that it's not a quick listen; it's not an easy listen; and it's not a catchy little ditty that you can hum when you're leaving the show! It has however, reminded me of who ... Continue Reading >>
