"Lifting the Lid" - Are You Being Called? Take a deep breath ... close your eyes ... relax your body ... As you gently open your eyes ... and begin to read this ... What do you notice? ... Inside ... as you begin to re-cognize these words? Human consciousness is currently hovering in the realm of reason. (See David Hawkins’ ‘Map of Consciousness’ in “Power vs. Force”.) Do you long to hear and see the Divine? Do Continue Reading
Trance – The Inherent Wealth of ‘Altered States of Consciousness’
I’ve recently had opportunity to be in the presence of Daniel Pinchbeck (bestselling author of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl), Flordomayo (one of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers), John Kimmey (a carrier of the Hopi Prophecy), José Arguelles (initiator of the Harmonic Convergence and the 13 Moon Calendar), Richard Tarnas (besteselling author of The Passion of the Western Mind), and John Perkins and Llyn Roberts (DreamChange.org). I can Continue Reading
Leadership
What is leadership? Who are our leaders? Where are they? These are three of the most important questions we can ask ourselves today. I was a young child when I first realized that our leaders may not be who and where we assume them to be. I was watching a televised program of the Canadian House of Commons. The behavior of our supposed leaders as they harassed and bullied Continue Reading
How to Recognize Trance States
Many people evidently are not yet able to self-recognize when they are in trance. As with many highly beneficial aspects of our species’ innate wisdom, I wish that this were readily available to us in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten teaching. It is my sense that increasing numbers of people are experiencing trance – some frequently – and yet few have the tools to recognize, let alone understand, what is happening. Here are some Continue Reading
What Makes A Leader A Leader?
Firstly, I'd like to qualify that just because someone promotes a popular opinion and has many followers, this doesn't intrinsically make them a Leader in the essential definition I am about to present. Many people 'lead' through might, brutality and peer pressure. These manipulative tactics can be physical, emotional and / or mental. Threatening to deprive someone of something essential is often enough to have them submit to coercion. This Continue Reading
What Is Trance?
Trance is like being tuned in to radio station(s) beyond the frequency listened to and registered by typical states of mind. Trance is a state which allows attunement to information beyond the typical frequencies / information bands of day-to-day human functioning. As such, it is highly generative, highly creative, and highly transformative. A friend / colleague of mine refers to her trance experiences as “dancing Continue Reading
It All Begins With Perception
Everything in our human experience is based on perception. What we feel, think, and how we respond to stimuli is based entirely on our personal perception of what is. It is not an absolute truth. It is our truth. Truth becomes transitory. As our perceptions shift – as they become more holistic, inclusive, or we simply perceive something from a new vantage of contemplation or experience – our ‘truth’ shifts. We Continue Reading
Activating Your 8th Chakra
As Tom Kenyon says, “Some of you experience gnosis – direct connection with the Divine.” Perhaps, as you are reading this post, you are experiencing gnosis. You, and I - as we have done throughout eternity - will innately hold the space for others to comprehend what flows here now … As part of the DNA structure of every human being, we each have seven ‘chakras’ – energy centres, like railroad stations and airport Continue Reading
Metaphors of Metamorphosis
What is a metaphor? ‘This bag is as heavy as a rock.’ ‘When the sun shines, it’s like liquid gold.’ ‘When you want something, imagine casting a fishing line … then reel yourself to the hook.’ What happens as you read these? Where does your mind go? What do you see, feel, hear? Metaphors are a powerful, sublimely simple, explicit way to communicate expansive concepts. How do they Continue Reading
Why Commit? – Boldness, Genius, Power and Magic
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, Continue Reading
