The year 2012 is only five months away, and the date of Dec. 21, 2012 - which is either the most magical day ever in the history of the world or just another day like any other day there's ever been, depending on who you ask - will be upon us sooner than we realize. To which I respond: In my opinion, there is no special date to prepare for and no predetermined time when the world will end. I've come to consider now as the most vital moment worthy of consideration - and there's no waiting or … [Read more...]

A Better View of the Sky

An experience as devastating as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan causes us all to wonder why and how such an event can occur. The loss of human life and damage to property poses many sobering questions to a person of compassion and conscience. It touches us at the deepest level and forces us to confront the experience of suffering. Yet there are lessons, insights, and healings that come from even the darkest night of the soul. Disasters move us to revisit and reorder our priorities, and … [Read more...]

2012: The End or…The Gift?

By 2 Comments
schulte

We are obviously experiencing a great shift. Evidence is everywhere. It's in the increasing number of wars that are going on. It's in the rebellions: more people rising up to attempt to change their governments. The shift is ongoing in the global economy. It's visible in the documented increase of various forms of natural disaster. It's in the general uncertainty and extreme discomfort that so many are feeling about the future. All of these are signs that massive change is underway. But where is … [Read more...]

The Butterfly Chronicles

By 1 Comment

Today I was given a gift. When my husband Dyke brought a caterpillar to our home a few weeks ago, I thought it would be a fun science lesson for the kids. It turns out, it was a gift for me. As I write, I know that words cannot fully express how I feel now after my experience with the butterfly, but I will do my best to try and share with you what is happening within me because of it. Butterflies are symbols of many things. They remind us of angels, with their beautiful delicate wings of an … [Read more...]

Fusion – Part 2

By Leave a Comment

For nearly two decades, Michele Mayama and Chris LaFontaine have quietly worked behind the scenes to assist humanity in translating, integrating and embodying information related to the transformation of consciousness, on both personal and planetary levels. They recognized that the human experience is undergoing a complete shift, that the culture we have always known -- one created out of fear and limitation -- is dying, and that it is being replaced by a new framework of energy, a new living … [Read more...]

Embracing Stillness as Key to Conscious Living

By 1 Comment
still_water_canal

Embracing stillness, we commune with the divine light of love and peace that is so pure and natural for us. Here is where we gain our clarity and creative insights -- and realize our mission and service in the world. At the OASIS Center for Conscious Living, the guiding principles for Conscious Living are described within the acronym for O.A.S.I.S. -- Oneness, Awakening, Stillness, Inspiration and Simplicity. The goal of the "OASIS Experience" process is to become whole, happy and … [Read more...]

How to Begin

By 2 Comments
passage_way

Have you made any New Year's resolutions? As Dr. Phil might ask, "And how's that been working for you?" If you are like most people, New Year's resolutions do not last more than a few days or weeks. Health clubs thrive on people signing up to begin a new regime after eating rich desserts over the holidays. Yet, many members cease going to the club after a short time, often more exasperated than when they began, compounded by self-judgment for not following through. So if New Year's … [Read more...]

A New Dawn! A Source for A Source!

By Leave a Comment
schuster

Questions and answers, more questions and more answers! But where does it all begin? Where does it all flow from? The answers are numerous, the names are always changing, and the answers often conflict! Who is God? What is God? Why is God? Where is God? Why have there been so many Gods? Do we need one or multiple Gods? Have these Gods needed us and we were not aware of it? Whoa, that is a radical thought and question! Let us also ask, is God "Source"? Or, has "Source" existed long before the … [Read more...]

The New Edge of Evolution

By 1 Comment
freke

Right now I'm considering a question that is troubling me. Regardless of age, class or race, there is a growing body of us who are in the process of becoming deeply awake, yet our numbers are still extremely small. Why doesn't everyone wake up? What is standing in the way? I usually assume the problem is that we're just not ready to wake up. But maybe there's more to it than that? Perhaps the problem also lies with the state of modern spirituality? Spirituality has the role of waking us up, … [Read more...]

Beyond Human Beings

By Leave a Comment

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole … [Read more...]

“It” Is Happening. “It” Is Just Evolution

By Leave a Comment

You can't stop it. You can't run from it. You can't hide from it. It is flowing through you. It is flowing around you. It is everywhere and it is no where. Sometimes you may see it. Sometimes you may feel it. Sometimes you may question if it is still there. Sometimes you may wonder what is really changing and why it is! Sometimes you may question it in fear and uncertainty. Sometimes you may experience it beautifully with clarity and direction. You can only define what "it" is, through the … [Read more...]

Stepping up our Evolution

By 1 Comment
kelly

In the latter half of the second millennium, science came of age, answering many of our "how" questions but leaving the "why" questions to the theologians. Perhaps now the time is ripe for us to develop a framework that addresses questions such as "why am I here?" while remaining true to science. But what might allow such a leap at this point in history? Two things: the Internet, and the rise of the "unaffiliated," which the Pew Forum defines as atheists, agnostics and both religious and … [Read more...]

Begin Again

By 1 Comment
lafontaine

My first thought when preparing to write this column was to offer my congratulations to Tim Miejan and Cathy Jacobsen on their purchase of this publication. I have known The Edge almost since it began early in the '90s, and I believe it has outlived almost every other free paper on Twin Cities newsstands. That fact alone speaks clearly about the interest in the subject matter of the paper and the service being performed by its existence I will also be honest about my experience with The Edge … [Read more...]

Our Evolving Self: Transforming in this very Instant

By Leave a Comment

For the longest time, the tagline of this publication was, "Exploring the Evolution of Consciousness." It was perfect. That's exactly what our readers were seeking and what our contributors were pondering. Our content explored the nature of soul and yielded a full range of speculation about how we were growing and advancing as spiritual beings. And then The EDGE became Edge Life and the focus was consciously changed away from channelings and extraterrestrials toward a more grounded … [Read more...]
