A chapter of GREATNESS; 21 Compelling Stories That Open The Heart
Hope ________ HUNGER IN LENINGRAD Few who are now alive remember the siege of Leningrad. It was one of the most devastating massacres to occur during World War II or what the Soviets called ‘The Great War.’ Probably more than in any city in the Soviet Union, Leningrad suffered the most. What happened there has been condemned by most of the rest of the world as inhumane, an act of genocide. For the Nazi war machine, the strategy was figuratively to put a noose around the neck of the great city. This story is close to my heart because I had...
read moreThe Visibility of Evolution
The Visibility of Evolution in our World Over the past 150 years modern science has changed the world. We have moved from knowledge of electricity to electronics and from the airplane to moon landings and drones. Humans have changed the face of the planet. Darwin gave us The Origin of Species and we have some clear ideas how man has changed, developed and transformed over large periods of time in a bio-physiological way. Let us be clear, however, that Darwin dealt only with human physical evolution. He did not deal with our spiritual changes...

Recently there has been a noteworthy outcry from the American people about the importance of family and family living, a child’s need for continuing security arising from nurturing support, familiar faces who provide kind and supportive treatment, loving community support by both mother and father whose bonding and care for their children is a life or death matter, especially for babies and very young children. Babies and children who receive enough bonding, parental closeness at all levels, gentle speech, careful handling, and kind...
read moreRight Relationships
Relationship Quality relationships are both very precious and very sensitive. Right relationships are devoid of the personality’s ego or sense of I-ness, selfishness or self-centeredness, or at least, there is a conscious effort to be universal and inclusive. The ground of the relationship flows out of the nature of life itself and the purpose is to put others in the spotlight, not the personal self. Living in a community of elders has many rewards like moments when people are willing to share themselves and what is going on in...

Some of the people still alive today can recall President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech about the Japanese attack on Pearl, Harbor on December 7, 1941. His stirring words were played all day over the radio: “I ask that Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire. Looking at World Wars I and II combined, from a positive angle, considering the...

Dear Reader, The following is entirely by Dane Rudhyar. His mind was beautiful. He was born and educated in France and came to the United States as a young man. He became a brilliant astrologer and metaphysician and wrote many books with profound insights about the human condition and our evolution. This piece was gleaned from a very small book he wrote with the same title. I wanted to share the beauty and wonder of a great mind, indeed, an advanced soul, with you.

read moreThe Two Aspects of Mind
The Two Aspects of Mind – The mind functions in two very different ways: it is receptive to higher thoughts or ideas and it is also capable of creating thoughts. In your own experience you know that your mind receives impressions that can be made into forms in the three dimensional world. For instance, someone who wants to build a new house goes to an architect and tells him what he envisions. Then the architect may be playing baseball with the local neighborhood...

Energetically Directing Illness Dad was shocked when a doctor told him he had diabetes. It was hard for him and for the family! Although he handled the news well, he was philosophical about having to live the rest of his life on a diet that curtailed the use of sugar. Yet the doctor’s announcement had a bright side too for all of us. He saw the problem as a fairly natural occurrence. After all he said, “I am over fifty and at this age the body is slowing down and diabetes is just a manifestation of getting older. I can live with it!”...
read moreGreatness in Forgiveness
Greatness in Forgiveness There are times in life when we all have to forgive. It is perhaps the hardest thing in the world to do because we have to sacrifice ourselves—the little ego that wants to be important, have its own way and to be recognized for its power and grandeur. We all recognize these attitudes, and, if we are wise we understand such states of mind. Unfortunately for humanity, the little ego is such a big part of who we are and the way we identify ourselves that it sticks to us like sticky fly-paper. It is hard to overlook its...

Kindness is what will most influence the future Humankind is at a break point during this period, a time when we must make a collective decision about the direction we plan to take tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that and on and on. One word can describe it. It is KINDNESS! Most people are given to actually practicing it a good portion of their lives. This one word—kindness—describes the energy, the principle, the first and most significant qualifying factor of the future. Of all the ideals we have, this one thing, kindness,...
