Every Day is a Reunion on Facebook

soulful_networking

With over 200 Facebook friends, I have an online family that includes: relatives, high school/college friends, writer/artist friends, friends from my time living abroad, and a few people who were suggested as friends. They all have their own status updates, profile pictures, and "what element are you" results. Snaking down the page as well are Farkle, Farmland and Mafia War scores on the update feed, which grows like a ticker tape. Amidst this overwhelming barrage of personal information are … [Read more...]

Seeking Awareness

ricci

The first step to a more peaceful life and existence in this world is awareness. What is the definition of "awareness"? What does it mean in the context of everyday life and how we grow as people in a group, as a society, and as individuals? Awareness is the knowing of your surroundings. It is the knowing of the energy emanating from you and the energy trying to penetrate you. In some situations, it is the protective shield encircling the body and spirit, a reaction to negative energy, or a … [Read more...]

Immersed in the Sea of the World

Sciandra

There is a yearning we have as humans, to join with the flow and essence of the world around us. It creates a nostalgia for something we know we've experienced, yet cannot put a name to. There is a longing to be part of the greater whole. It is nearly impossible to walk to the edge of the ocean and not to kick off your shoes in order to wade in and let the waves lick against your ankles, to find a path in the woods and not take it, to come to a hill and not climb it. I grew up near Niagara … [Read more...]

Alchemy – Turning Fear into Love

self

"Alchemy is accomplished by changing the frequency of thought, altering the harmonics of matter, and applying the elements of love to create a desired result." - Archangel Metatron Last month, we explored the first aspect of Alchemy, "Changing the frequency of thought," noting that alchemy is a way of life, not just the application of "magic." Let's now look at the second part of Archangel Metatron's definition of Alchemy. Altering the harmonics of matter is not complicated. To be … [Read more...]

simon

It feels so good to have a movie to write about again. For those of you who have followed this column for the last seven years, please know that, as long as films like Cold Souls are released, I will continue this column, even though it will be on an irregular basis. Now, to the film. Cold Souls is a jaw-dropping, original film, with the only possible comparison being to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of my favorite films in Spiritual Cinema.

Real Conscience: The Solution for Addiction

xavier

Michael Jackson's death has kept the problem of addiction in the news recently. An estimated 30 percent of Americans suffer from alcoholism at some point in their lives, as well as addiction to drugs, sex, gambling, relationships and the internet. Addiction involves a lack of control over a persistent behavior in spite of negative consequences. As a psychiatrist who has incorporated the use of conscience in clinical work for more than 30 years, I have found "real conscience" the best guide to … [Read more...]

Walking With Still Feet

andrews

As we walk daily within our creative souls, we walk before the gods that we have worshipped within ourselves, be they great painters, musicians, writers, Jesus, Buddha, or the Great Spirit. When you walk at the highest levels of your consciousness, then your feet will be still. You realize that there is no need for haste. You realize that your heart is full and that all of who you are breathes with the fires of creation. Where does the sense of urgency that you feel in life come from? That … [Read more...]

A letter to you

"We shall not cease from exploring, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T.S.Eliot My friend, It's been too long. So much has happened since we last spoke, really spoke, heart to heart. Sometimes I think no one does that much anymore. We all conveniently say we're too busy, but busy doing what?

Radiolab’s “After Life”

afterlife

REMEMBER THAT DARK, interconnecting film called 21 Grams? The title refers to the supposed weight of the soul, initially determined by Dr. Duncan MacDougall of Haverhill, Mass., who theorized that after the body dies, it weighs approximately 21 grams less, or three-fourths of an ounce. Now, Dr. MacDougall's research is considered more of a curiosity than scientific certainty but isn't it interesting to consider that science even remotely postulates that it can validate the existence of the … [Read more...]
