The Soul of Thanksgiving
The Soul of Thanksgiving In the autumn Canada and the United States celebrate Thanksgiving. Canadians celebrate in October without much fanfare. Many don’t celebrate it. It’s a wonderful choice celebration in Canada. In the United States, Thanksgiving is a huge holiday! Of all America’s holidays, it is my favorite! The festivities are joyful and unencumbered with religious overtones or the need for gifts. The point is to remember life’s blessings and give thanks with family and friends for the year’s blessings. Thanksgiving is far more than...

If you ever saw one of the Kennedys or Thatchers of the world in action or speaking before the public, you would have seen a man or woman who had become a magnet to other people. There are those who develop their own magnetic vibration and draw into their influence those they can serve. Some hold major public offices. Others are people who take responsibility in smaller ways for others. As they work to help others, they gain trust. They cooperate with the Plan. Some are teachers or leaders. Others are not because they are not yet so...

Thank you very much Marc for this interview! Being a global citizen, evolutionary cosmologist and humanitarian networker, I’ve been studying The Great Invocation prayer for quite some decades now and have come to the conclusion that its power, especially so when it is spoken with consciousness and awareness, will without the shadow of a doubt, help the evolution of humanity and that is why my second book “THE GREAT INVOCATION-Historical Background and Meaning of the Great Prayer: A Handbook” will dive deep into the meaning...

Participation: The Soul‘s Call and the Personality’s Answer When I closed my last book after completing a Master’s degree in Organizational Development, the thought came to me that the entire two year course and the thesis could be summed up in one word: Participation. It has always been my hope that other people would want to post an article in my blog and let their voice be heard. My heart yearns to hear from people who are alive and awake to the teachings of Masters, to the Ancient Wisdom, that ever-flowing underground river that moves...
read moreLeadership Comes From Within
Leadership Comes From Within The nurture and development of quality leaders is always a topic of interest and likely will capture human attention far into the future. Perhaps leaders are few and far between now. Is it true that the times make the leaders or do the leaders create the time and situations that affect many people? Out of that black or white notion, one wonders if there is a magical “third” that enables us to rise above the negative conditions of the time and to choose to follow the leader who leads because he is in tune not only...
read moreDevelop a healthy curiosity with the five hindrances
Five Hindrances Buddhism is one of the great spiritual traditions and it has a few potentially life enhancing ideas that can be remembered by the numbers associated with them. The Eight-fold Noble Path is one. We’ll take a look at what Buddhism has to say about the Five Hindrances. They are: sexual desire, ill will, torpor, restlessness and skeptical doubt. Some are not what you’d expect! Sexual desire refers to not being fully present in the moment and getting caught up in planning and other extraneous matters. It is getting caught up with...

read moreLetting Go Ego: Cleaning the Inside of the Cup
Cleaning the Inside of the Cup Years ago an elderly friend insisted that her suffering was great and no one else could possibly understand. A different friend insisted that in the important things of life—birth and death—and probably the decision making that goes on between, must always be done alone. The question always came up about their very different stances about this thing called aloneness. They came from two almost opposite philosophical positions about life, one a Christian fundamentalist and the other an accomplished and sought...
read moreWhy My Chickens Stopped Laying Eggs…
Cooperation between my chickens, aka “my Girls” We are in process of having our first experience with chickens. My “girls,” I call them. Our little town allows residents to have four hens. No roosters! Ours girls have the run of the whole backyard. With a lawn and foliage and bushes to hide under, they have plenty of space to roam and forage. Their little A-frame coop deserves to be in the backyard of an enchanted castle. After all, their small coop, just the right size for four hens, has a ladder, a ‘play area’ where they also...
