A funny thing happens on the way to a conversation about how you are your thoughts: most people disagree. They disagree like it’s up for debate. It isn’t. You are. And fractally, we can all see how this is so. Oh, hold up. That actually isn’t the funny part. The funny part is that most […]
Have you ever noticed how confident we feel when we live in agreement, even when the agreement is false? It’s easy to see in other cultures, right? The ones we consider barbaric or undemocratic. But it’s much harder to see at home, within ourselves, mainly because we’re so focused out there. A pack of liars […]
They were a guru couple, a husband and wife team, who spoke the language of mystics in forceful whispers that said nothing. Their delivery was hypnotizing, which made it easier for the audience to believe they had heard something profound.

It is from experiencing that I repeat over and over how the authentic, full spiritual unfolding occurs. It is from experience that you listen over and over. Have you asked yourself why you’re here seeking Truth? You haven’t found it anywhere else, why would it be here? All things exist in space-time. One of those […]
We create our own reality. A favorite refrain of too many people I’ve met in and out of the New Age scene. This idea of the universe as a wish-fulfillment machine is the pseudo-spiritual version of the mechanical universe with you as its center. It’s a hedonistic fantasy, nothing more.
