Look within during September retrograde

By Leave a Comment
stars2

We start September with Mercury retrograde in his own sign of Virgo. Mercury returns to direct motion on Sept. 12, but wait until the 19th to sign contracts or make major purchases. This should be a strong retrograde, especially with a New Moon in Virgo on the 8th. Remember that these periods are intended to help us look within, learn from the past and make valuable course corrections. The end of the month recaptures some of the intensity of the summer with a powerful Aries Full Moon on the … [Read more...]

One Digit to Wealth

On my weekly radio show "Get Real" (www.hayhouseradio.com) I presented a program on prosperity. In advance, I announced that I would be doing on-the-air coaching for listeners who wanted help with issues of abundance. Since prosperity is so relevant for most people, I expected to receive lots of call-ins. When the show began, I looked at my computer switchboard showing me who was calling in (called a "STAC") and to my surprise, there were no calls. I announced the call-in number again, and … [Read more...]

How afraid are you to let it go?

I was raised to be very frugal, with the mantra of "waste not, want not" being drummed into me at a very young age. Frugality certainly has its place and, with the economy being the way it is right now, I am not suggesting anything different for people. Still, there comes a time when the ideas we are raised with no longer serve us. I thought of this when I recently read a newsletter sent out by Feng Shui expert Carole Hyder. In her article, Carole talks about people who save things just in … [Read more...]

The Path of Presence

Question: What is fear and how do I deal with it? Answer: Fear is a primal feeling that dates from prehistoric days. It is a feeling that was originally designed to move us to "fight or flight" whenever our physical survival was threatened. This fight-or-flight response has played a large part in the survival of the species. But as we became more sophisticated and moved more and more into the mind and its world of thought and emotion, fear entered inappropriately into that world. The … [Read more...]

Spirit of the Game: Resolving conflict

By Leave a Comment
Just

Recently I was honored to speak at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community Center's Sunday Service about conflict resolution and honoring all walks of life. Some people think that a holistic community shouldn't have disagreements, disputes or conflicts. However, no walk of life is immune to emotions. It's how you handle them that counts. In fact, many people gloss over anger and disputes, because they think it will make the situation worse. However, it's by finding the underlying fear that will help … [Read more...]

The Feeling is Mutual

I have previously written about the end of Duality, how judgment creates perceptual splits within that system, and made observations about the nature of the New Living Field. The New Living Field is what I call the new matrix of consciousness into which we are now making the "shift of the ages." This matrix is where Light and Life, the spiritual and the material, have merged into a unified field along with all other polarities. I often say we are installing a new operating system. The … [Read more...]

Spiritual Q & A

Question: I've heard spiritual teachers and facilitators promote a practice for those on a path of spiritual growth and development that involves us realizing that we are "in the world, but not of it." I would appreciate more clarity on these concepts. Answer: Because the cycle during which our divinity was denied and our spiritual adulthood forestalled is ending, it is vital that we remain committed to not only occupying a perspective, but also behaving in a way that exemplifies that we are in … [Read more...]

Every single day I marvel at the incredibly complexity of reality, the layers upon layers of dimension that make it possible for us to even be alive. It's not just a collection of muscle cells that allows your heart to beat, nor just a collection of neurons that allows your mind to think. And how do you explain emotions and synchronicity and the transformation of a chrysalis into a butterfly? On a very mundane level, I understand that what makes the internet work are the links that connect … [Read more...]

Cultivating Ease

Many of us spend our days buzzing about from one activity to the next without awareness. We're in a frantic pace most of the day. While we continue to move at such a rapid pace, we only allow more time for more things to fit into our schedules. It's an endless cycle. To slow down the pace of our lives, we must actually slow down. When we slow down, fewer things will be able to fit into our lives. The things in which we engage then gain our full attention and become more enjoyable, because we … [Read more...]

Right speech: Look at the intent behind your words

If you regularly read my column, you probably know that all of my columns are, in some aspect, very personal. One of the trickiest parts of writing these personal stories is that so often, it is not just my story. If it involves someone else, I am always cautious, as it is not only my story to tell. In C.S. Lewis' A Horse and His Boy, as the great lion Aslan reveals his role in the unfolding of events to each person, each character has questions arise regarding things that have happened to … [Read more...]
