Coming Soon: Mercury Retrograde in Taurus

By Leave a Comment
stars3

Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Taurus on April 18; if it absolutely, positively has to be done, do it early in the month, because the last three weeks look a little less predictable. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...Stops and starts are the nature of the game this month. This actually suits your strengths - you're a sprinter, not a marathon man. So pick your spots and remember that all those little victories add up in the long run. Under the Aries New Moon mid-month, a friend or … [Read more...]

Play the Mistake

Just before Christmas last year, Rob Anderson went into a convenience store to purchase three $1 Powerball lottery tickets as stocking stuffers. The clerk misunderstood Anderson's request and erroneously printed one $3 ticket. When Anderson called the mistake to the clerk's attention, the clerk offered to nullify the ticket. Anderson decided to just go with the current of events, he accepted the ticket, and purchased the three stocking stuffers in addition. Rob went home and tossed the mistaken … [Read more...]

Degrees of Presence

Question: Is it possible to think and be present? Leonard's Answer: It is important to know that there are levels of Presence. It is as if Presence exists on a vertical scale or axis. As you deepen into Presence, you cross a point on the vertical axis where time disappears. Now you are in the Eternal realm. There is no time. Life does not exist outside of the moment, and you do not exist outside of the moment. You are completely absorbed into the Oneness. You are completely absorbed into the … [Read more...]

I recently watched a recording of 60 minutes, the CBS news program, digitally preserved for my convenience by Tivo. What caught my attention during viewing was not the content of the two stories, but my reaction to them. The topics could not have been more different, yet in both cases my eyes teared, my body relaxed and my heart experienced gratitude. One story focused on certain discussions of the current financial collapse, and the other was about a musical savant. Both segments presented … [Read more...]

Just How Connected are We?

By Leave a Comment

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is, infinite." - William Blake We are all connected. Mainstream coffee-shop talk suggests as much. So do advertising campaigns for wireless networks and social networking sites. But just how connected are we? It depends upon how deeply you look. Begin at the surface of what we see, with our bodies. We seem very connected. We are all the same species of mammal. Every human being shares the same form. And 99.9% of our … [Read more...]

The Loyalty of the New Age Movement to Religious Doctrine and Dogma

By Leave a Comment

At the age of six, I looked up at the altar in St. John's the Evangelist Catholic Church wondering why there were only males leading the congregation. Being that I was female, I realized that I would never have a vital leadership role in the Catholic Church if I chose to. I became disinterested in Catholicism in kindergarten, even though I was required by my teachers and parents to continue attending mass two to three times each week. Five years later, my parents allowed me to attend public … [Read more...]

Adjusting Your Response is Healing

Charles Schultz once said, "I love humanity; it's people I can't stand." And truly, one of the great challenges of being human is encountering other humans. It is an unavoidable truth that interacting with people usually results in some kind of reaction, often strongly emotional. There are interactions that can provoke a great amount of frustration, irritation, or impatience. Sometimes they fuel our weaknesses and shortcomings, or push our hot-buttons. Aren't there times that you just wish … [Read more...]

The Eightfold Path: Aid on the Spiritual Journey

By 2 Comments
yoga

Part 1: Beginning the Journey For most of my association with yoga I found the eight limbs of the eightfold path from Patanjali's Yoga Sutra more confusing than useful. Since I've been reintroduced to them, I've discovered that I've been practicing some of them without realizing it. It seems to me now that if we peel away some of the cultural overlays, that the eightfold path has gifts to offer those of us in the West. This is the first of six columns devoted to exploring their value in … [Read more...]

What would Love Say?

By Leave a Comment
Venable

Each month, this column features a "Message from Love" with an action step and meditation. Each message gives examples of what Love might say and do in various circumstances. So, whenever you find yourself feeling scared, angry or uncomfortable, instead of letting fear have its way, practice asking yourself: What would Love Say? There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect and whole. What would Love do? Feel who you are deep within. Move in life from that space rather than the … [Read more...]
