Energetically Directing Illness
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!” Years after that when I was attending the...
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 power and tenacity, its sheer love of itself and...
Read MorePay It Forward
Pay It Forward There was little I needed to get at the grocery store, but since I had a coupon I dashed in and got two cans of Wasabi peas. Check out that day was unusually difficult and presented a challenge as huge as Mount Everest. After at least six tries of putting the card into the card reader, I was still stuck and at least ten people were behind me waiting to be checked out. I could see that the woman who was at the cash register was becoming irritated because I couldn’t seem to get anything right about the electronic check out. It was really not difficult, but I couldn’t get it...
Read MoreFeeling Awe Affects our Health and Happiness
Have You Ever Experienced Awe and Deep Wonder? It Could Be the Key to Your Health and Happiness! If you have ever stood on the shores of an island or a continent and watched the sun silently, and slowly sink beneath the horizon, you were likely quiet. Even silent. Another day was done but you were there to see the clouds turn from pink to golden and finally to grey and then black. It seems to happen ever so slowly and yet modern people are struck with awe, so filled with awe—reverence–are we that the scene, simple and ancient as it is, fills us with wonder as the majesty of the...
Read MoreAbout Humility and Committing To Being Humble To Each Other
Commit To Being Humble To Each Other 2017 is here in all its glory and the world hopes it will be a year of respite from the traumas of 2016. One of my favorite books is Andrew Harvey’s, The Hope. It is about what he calls ‘sacred activism’, a world totally devoted to dedicated action for others. It seems likely that it will take a very long time for the world to get it, but the world is better off because some people are now committed to serving humanity and nature, thus making themselves better human beings by developing humility in themselves and serving others. Humility, like gratitude...
Read MoreThe Christmas Season is about Joy
The Christmas Season Is About Joy Yes, truly the Christmas season is about joy! And it is also about light. The solstice brings the huge change from darker and shorter days to longer and brighter days. Let’s be happy about it! Let’s even give ourselves the chance for an attitudinal adjustment from dark to light. In a very real way happiness is the forerunner of joy, just as joy precedes the state of bliss. Just as we learn to hold the tension of joy through the activity of the will and fill ourselves with joy’s bounty, we must remember that joy infused by will is unbreakable, immovable,...
