THE LAST TEN POUNDS

I saw this ad from the 1950’s a few weeks ago. Since then I’ve been writing a post in my mind about it. There are so many directions I could take this…how body image is dictated so much by media….how women have for so long been sexualized in the media (especially in America)…how many women – Read More –

HOW THEN CAN WE ARGUE?

Having lunch in a field one day, I troubled an ant with a question. I asked of him humbly, “Have you ever been to Paris?” And he replied, “No, but I wouldn’t mind going.” And then he asked me if I had ever been to a famous ant city. And I regretted that I hadn’t, – Read More –

CRAZY TALK

Lately I’ve been exploring the concept of “oneness” and what it means. I considered that perhaps we are all different manifestations of the same Spirit having a complete human experience in different bodily forms (at the same time). To expand on that…yesterday, I had an emotion breakdown//breakthrough when I was driving around (a bit lost, – Read More –

CREATING STORMS

Recently, I was introduced to the experiments of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto. His work postulates human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. Emoto conducted experiments by exposing water to both positive and negative influences (or simply taping words with positive, negative connotation to the container of water), and observing the crystalized form.

TRYING ON CLOTHES

What if the Spirit (oneness) is just trying on ‘clothes’ (in the form of bodies) all at the same time? Along these same lines, to be attached to what happens with the body is like becoming fixated with a drop of ink on a shirt… Just something to think about ;)   Photo source: duality – Read More –

FINITE TIME

Today, perhaps because it is a full moon, I have been deeply considering the concept of time. It seems to be part of the human condition to feel we have so much time to do things…follow our dreams, fall in love, have a family, etc. But really, none of the time we feel we have has been promised – Read More –

PINK PANTHER AND NONDUALITY

These parts really stood out for me: “There cannot be winning without losing. Right and left…right and wrong…these opposites get tricky. But the point is people are afraid of the negative one…’Don’t be negative. The power of positive thinking.’ That’s all nonsense.  The negative is the source of the positive. And the whole of our – Read More –

WHAT IS REAL?

“The moon is one, but on agitated water it produces many reflections. Similarly, ultimate reality is one, yet it appears to be many in a mind agitated by thoughts.” –Maharamayana (11th Century)   Photo source: what is real?

ONE CANNOT PLEASE ALL

A man and his son were once going with their donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side, a countryman passed them and said: “You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?” So the man put the boy on the donkey and they went on their way. But soon – Read More –
