* Because of the overwhelming commentary generated by this article, I will be posting a more complete version of it by early May. That post will elaborate each point with examples, supplemental information, and recordings of channeled material in segments related to each topic. For now, this list should begin the process of your consideration and generate your creative action.
Nature and her systems of biological evolution are all encompassing, far more enduring, and vastly less predictable than the antics of humans. Human systems are what we participate in and impose upon each other with institutions like: democracy, capitalism, or war. Living within Mother Nature’s biosphere, no matter what one believes, we are subjected to her! Not the other way around. Continue reading »

2020 is a combined Truth and Love Year. Meaning, you must find what you truly love and called to will defend it! Yet if you bear allegiance to what is false, limited, or selfish, your experience of this year will be contracted, lonely, and laced with hostility or resentment toward others. Love people first…even if you despise what they stand for. Love does not mean ‘like’ or approve. Embrace humanity and your true principles will emerge from you. Remember, Essences, like the TAO, evolves no matter which path you take. But for humanity and the planet Earth, i.e. the playground for Personality’s, is within your responsibility and decision to nurture or pollute. There is NO neutral consequence to inaction. Anything you do is still a choice and will have an effect in one direction or another.

Infused with “Can-do” “I can challenge” “make it happen”, perhaps even muster courage to lead a charge or stand up against an attack. The motto might be: “I gather my people and principles together and protect them from harm.”
Due to extended recovery from knee surgery; September’s 2nd Friday with Michael’s Consortium is cancelled. Look for resumption of monthly Conversations with the Consortium on October 11th at the Healing Roots Center in Sacramento. Stay tuned for information of how to join the sessions live over conference call.
Recall from the Overview of 2019 posted in January , that this Artisan accented year is one of the most pivotal in recent decades. Of the several reasons cited, many of the Baby Boomer Class and Millennial generations have come to turning points that neither of them expected. The Boomer, but particularly those of Older Soul ages, the ones who supported Civil Rights, Women’s Liberation, and were inspired by President Kennedy’s goal of a man on the moon, they enrolled in a Peace Corps and also rebelled against Viet Nam. It culminated in the Rock n’ Roll generation of the Summer of Love and Woodstock. For many it all collapsed under the weight of traditional imprinting and doubled down on the planet crushing and social conforming tenants of the late levels of the Young Soul mindset. Many now feel dislocated in time and purpose. Yet, those who knew it, found it, or are busy making one anew, are thriving or feeling the thrust of determination.

Hasn’t it been a tumultuous 2 weeks? Anyone reading this article and keeping an even a sideways glance on world events, presented in mainstream and alternative media alike, knows that the Arab Spring has become the Arab storm. And, in the US, the controversy about a home made film depicting Mohammed, the founder of Islam, as a lecher and pedophile, which ignited tensions and religious intolerances ready for such a spark, has also brought the discussion of America’s First Amendment guarantees of freedom of religion and freedom of speech into poignant debate. While teachers in Chicago assert their rights of workers to bargain collectively for fairness, members of the powerful seek to stifle their rights to free speech denigrating the strike as a blow to children. What a shaming? Then, Presidential candidate Mitt Romney employs a New Age-ism as a slur about half the population of the US, calling them victims who feel entitled to government support. Unfortunately for the rest of us, Mr. Romney apparently has never heard of the historic concept of the social contract. Apparently, the only contracts he concerns himself with are the ones he breaks with employees of the companies he gutted at Bain (bane?), or those oaths of allegiance to his has pledged to his ultra-wealthy constituents.

My heart sank when I read of the news about the shootings in Aurora. Hauntingly, the word aurora refers to a natural light that is noticed most in the presence of darkness. As a metaphysicist, I take the liberty to infer meaning, let alone ascribe significance to such coincidences as part of the territory of my occupation. Yet, it seems apparent to me (and commented upon by Michael) that even if the name marking the location of this tragedy has no other bearing, it will forever be singed into my consciousness. Let us hope that from darkness we can see the light. Continue reading »
The conversation between God and Man. Or The Universe and our Awareness of it.
Welcome to public awareness Mr./Ms. Higgs-Boson Particle. I say public because in the erudite realm of physics the concept has been known for 50 years. A mathematician by the name of Peter Higgs had a vision postulating (prophesying) the existence of this infinitesimally minute particle. And, that it could be the common foundation we’ve been looking for which explains: “life, the universe and everything!”
Only instead of chariots and trumpets formatting his revelation, his was visited in the form of symbols and equations. God, after all, has never stopped communicating with us. As we understood more of the complexities of ITS vast array of languages, then it could get down to the nitty-gritty. No more burning bushes, now it is onto sub-atom particles. Cool, eh?

ore than any other tangible freedom, I value the right to be “secure in my person.” But this phrase from the Bill of Rights’ 4th Amendment, for me, extends further than protection from government. It harkens back to the 1st Amendment guaranteeing my freedom of expression. And by expression, I mean the right to speak my mind and disagree without someone else, who might interpret disagreement as their right to “take offense” and then act upon me in a reactive, punitive, or even violent manner. As a Liberal, I use my ability to think as a way of liberating myself from the fear which comes from ignorance. Not enshrining it as some sacrosanct order to be conformed to and enforced upon others.
So what’s the link for me as I celebrate our Independence Day? It is not government tyranny I most worry about, though on the horizon I see extremism undermining the halls of our democratic republic, instead it is my celebration of the rights of thinking people of conscience to advance our society through the dialogues of constructive disagreement.
