Eternal Life through Facebook

By 1 Comment

I was surprised to receive a Facebook friend invitation from Eric Butterworth, a respected author and minister who introduced me to the New Thought movement many years ago. The astounding element of Dr. Butterworth's invitation is that he is dead. He passed away eight years ago. How he found his way onto Facebook is a matter of great interest to me. The Internet and Facebook bear huge metaphysical lessons. In truth, no one ever dies and we are capable of communicating interdimensionally. In … [Read more...]

Postcards from the Recession

recession

Got knocked down, got up, and then got better Though I wasn't a voluntary casualty, the truth is, I live in a happier place now. Two years ago, I felt the full blunt force of the recession come crashing down on me. I lost my job of 18 years, writing and editing at the Los Angeles Times. With a tap on the shoulder and a summons to HR, I became just another casualty in the economic collapse that has reduced our nation's workforce by 8 million jobs. From the beginning, I decided I wouldn't … [Read more...]

Standing in your own two shoes

An excerpt from Falling Into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering The real search isn't a search into tomorrow, or to anywhere other than now. It's starting to look into the very nature of this moment. In order to do that, you have to "stand in your own two shoes," as my teacher used to say. What she meant by "standing in your own two shoes" is you have to look clearly into your own experience. Stop trying to have someone else's experience. Stop chasing freedom or happiness, or even … [Read more...]

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...Every month is like a new year these days, or a new lifetime! This is it -- are you going to be your true Self or are you going to let fear convince you to keep playing small? Use the Mercury retrograde in your sign to let go of all of those false, limiting ideas about yourself that stand between you and a life fully lived. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)...April activates your unconscious mind more powerfully than perhaps at any other time in this life. Your soul can make … [Read more...]

Kirschbaum,-Roger2

Roger's eyes were expressive, perhaps the only windows to his soul outside of his poetry. Few words spoken, fewer feelings shared. But he made his presence known. Until he could not. I remember his easy smile, the sway as he walked, the lean of his body, fingers twirling the red ponytail behind his ball cap, stained with the sweat of summer and the challenge of life itself. On this day, Saturday, March 19, I join many others who gather to say goodbye -- his mom, his brother, and his … [Read more...]

The Miriam Tradition: Living the Path of Joy

By Leave a Comment
women_face-to-face

Remember reading about Miriam in the Bible?  As the sister of Moses, some people remember her from the film Prince of Egypt, and the scene where she leads women in music and dance. The film does a fairly accurate job of telling an ancient story of freedom. The scene is taken from the Bible, where she is portrayed as even more of a hero. Miriam is considered a prophet like her brother Moses.  In Biblical times, music and dance could be a form of prophecy! Why was movement considered so … [Read more...]
