In my mid-thirties, having spent hundreds of hours with quantum physics and in deep meditative silence, I had the direct experience that there really are two worlds - the visible world of matter and the invisible Source of life. What I also realized is that everything in the universe is made of the same "stuff," just in different forms - like H2O existing in the form of clouds, water and ice.My life took a turn when, instead of pushing heavy blocks of ice (the visible world), I simply … [Read more...]

Charting the Heavens in January
The Sun, traveling through Capricorn this month, brings us down to reality as we look around and take note of what we have manifested here...until it enters Aquarius on 1/19, and we forge ahead with authenticity foremost in mind.
