Now I see! I was blind but now I see. Losing your life in order to find your life. For the first time in my life I have a glimpse of this! Oh, this is so very rich.

It never made sense to me before. I understood the concept of losing your life of materialism in order to find your life of the spirit but how to do so always seemed vague. Oh, sure I understand living a life of simplicity but that can be legalistic. I dread legalism.

Actually, I think it’s vague to everyone, all of us, but we’re afraid to admit it. What if some one stood up in church and said “Hey pastor, tell me how this happens.” The answer would be something like, “Empty yourself of your self and open up to the Holy Spirit.” What?! That’s opaque at best, nonsense at worst. (more…)

Life is like a ride on a bus. We are embarking on a journey that we must take to a place that we have never been before. I am three or four years old and seated next to the driver in a special child’s seat. I have before me a toy steering wheel connected to absolutely nothing. The driver is a great guy who loves kids, and me especially. He talks with me during the ride of routes, road conditions, almost as if he needed my consultation. I hold my toy wheel and pretend to drive the bus along with him. (more…)

Why can’t I just relax? Just be myself? Can I ever be comfortable with the way I am without flinching, wishing that I would have been different, that I wouldn’t be the way I am?

I know that at my core, in my “self,” I am whole, complete, Divinely inspired and my life is a gift. I also “know” that if others could only know the real me, what some would call the authentic me, then I’d know who I can really trust and I’d be able to relax and just be comfortable with what ever I was made me to be.  (more…)

In the end, no matter what I have and no matter what I’ve done, I claim only my experience as a testament of my life. Nothing else of this human existence lives on, nothing else matters. My experience of life is this part of my eternity.

Some may think this too simple. It is. But life is simple. Not simplistic but simple.

Experience is all that counts. It’s the ground of our existence, the basis of our life. Experience is consciousness and consciousness is life. Since consciousness is also the human experience of spirit then our experience is our spirituality. (more…)

I have a friend, Sam. He is 51 years old. Now, since I’m an introvert it ‘s noteworthy when I have a friend. I don’t make good friends easily. They are few.

Anyway here’s the deal. I saw Sam the other day and he said he had something to tell me but he was afraid I’d laugh. He said what he had to tell me was strange. I reassured him that I wouldn’t laugh. He was hesitant but began anyway. (more…)

I had my first meeting with David the other day. I don’t think I’ll ever be quite the same. David is the gentleman who was giving the lecture at the hospital about Spirituality, Consciousness and Psychoanalysis. He’s the guy I’d been sensing that I needed to see but as of yet had not contacted. After hearing his presentation I called him and asked to come and talk. He was gracious and warmly encouraged me to come to his office.

David’s office is in his home in the woods. You get there by driving a meandering, tree-shaded road shouldered by wooded hills. His house is off the road nestled in a miniature valley with a winding creek runs along side. His parents built the house themselves some sixty years ago. (more…)

I am miserable! Can’t really be sure why. Sure my best friend and business partner, Steve, is sick but he’s had his stem cell transplant. So far he’s myeloma free. If a miracle is defined as an unexpected and as yet unexplained occurrence then this is certainly a miracle.

Actually everything is a miracle. The whole universe is a grand mystery which no one ever has or ever will understand. It’s all unexpected. Nothing is ever truly explained. So miracles are just as of yet unexplained occurrences. Miracles are everywhere. (more…)
