There is a growing malaise in our culture, as more people work longer hours with less satisfaction – and in greater isolation – doing things that they know are unhealthy and contributing mindlessly to their individual and collective frustration. This is a growing epidemic – evident in everything from obesity to addictions to violence to suicide. So many people do work that they do not love, and stay in relationships Continue Reading
Cracking Open the Shell – Part 2
Is ‘fighting against’ the only way to access your true strength? Is it the most efficient one, the most powerful one, the most ultimately successful one? Or are there options? (There are. Look around. Not everyone fights against.) I’ll give you an example. In 1988, at the so-called ‘height’ of my dancing career (I was touring internationally with highly respected dance companies, and beginning to have high profile solos Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 1
Here is another response to the request I’ve received from so many people to write a sequel to “Savasana – The Deepest Rest Around”. See also the recent post “Wander Time, Empty Time”. Enjoy! I began practicing Yoga daily when I was fourteen. I was introduced to it by an aunt who, at that time, would visit us a couple of times a year. As an observant, insightful teenager, I noticed that she would become very tense, agitated, Continue Reading
Cracking Open the Shell – Part 1
What will it take for humanity to rise above reason – the current crowning achievement of the mind? To be even more precise, what will it take for humanity to pierce the veil of thinking … and open itself into the vastness of its pure potential – its access to omni-consciousness via intuition, telepathy, insight, and beyond? What I’m speaking of here is the ultimate exiting of the Wheel of Time. Continue Reading
Our Full Potential
Some of us catch fleeting glimpses of what our full potential might be … through moments of heroism when our adrenaline allows Atlas to perform miraculous feats of impossibility through the power of our body. … When all life stills, and our mind pierces daily consciousness … and we see a glorious reality which is … beyond our life here, on this day. A good friend once described to me one of the most profound moments in her life – a Continue Reading
Awakening Instinct and Intuition

Piercing the Veil
I will articulate this as clearly as I can – as it is literally dawning in my awareness as I awaken this morning. Like mountain peaks that are suddenly – finally – revealed as the perpetual mist that has veiled them lifts – I see this so clearly now. The ‘ceiling’ that has been keeping human consciousness – and thus human societies’ experience – in limitation / slavery is thinking. Who would have guessed? We have Continue Reading
Ego’s Hold
Insights can be buried deep. Like seeds inches beneath the soil, they can remain indefinitely dormant, latent, unsprouted. To dig to them – to penetrate the darkness that keeps them hidden – can require determination – might – sheer laser light of consciousness. We need to sense them. We need to want them – to be able to uncover the soil that cloaks them and let them see light. Such is the case last evening and this morning. Continue Reading
Let Spirit Speak
I’ve always been an intuitive and insightful person. Even as a child, I’ve innately trusted what has ‘come to me’, internally, via intuition and insight.[1] I remember the first time – in grade school – when an essay was assigned to the class. We were all – together at the same time – given the title and the due date of our ‘assignment’. I remember watching the classmates around me franticly clicking into gear, Continue Reading
