August 20, 2010 - In my experience questing for understanding of spiritual aspects of the human community, I have had occasion to encounter some unusual synchronicities. One such event emerged while perusing a lecture by noted Initiate and spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner. 
Marcus Aurelius asked “What am I doing with my soul?” He suggests we interrogate ourselves to find out what inhabits our “so-called” mind and what kind of soul we have right now; that of a child, an adolescent, a predator orits prey? 
August – 20, 2010 - Lucid Dreaming is Conscious Dreaming and is the ability of awareness that you are dreaming. In a nutshell, you are aware that all the occurrences you are experiencing are actually within a dream, while you are dreaming. 
August 20. 2010 - I've been getting a lot of emails to join prayer groups for the healing of the oceans, the forests, the earth; and just when it seems to me that people are starting to actually wake up, I get other emails that say 'the gods are angry', 'the earth is angry', 'these catastrophes are happening in areas where people have been evil for too long and god is teaching a lesson'. They reek of judgment, fear, and projection. 
August 19, 2010 - It’s hard to turn away from spirit, and not become egotistic.
August 17, 2010 - For ages, cultures all over the world have worn and used charms, amulets, and talismans as a way to protect them from harm and other unknown forces. A great common example is the crucifix. 
August 16, 2010 - Everyone wants to get the best out of their lives as life is short and you have millions of things to do in your entire lifetime. Therefore, it is said that enjoy as much as possible because no one knows what is going to happen tomorrow.

| REVIEW - Mindi Abair – In Hi-Fi Stereo Heads Up International (www.mindiabair.com)  May 25, 2010 – Well, one things for sure, Mindi Abair is not shopping on Main Street anymore. As they say, “run away from the past and eventually it will run into you.” Abair just isn’t pretty anymore, musically that is. On ‘In Hi-Fi Stereo’ she’s taking the elevator to the basement where everything started. It’s not only her musical foundation but also a place we’ve all been before. It’s the room where the backbone of many inspirations first started – the golden age of R&B, Soul and Funk. ‘In Hi-Fi Stereo’ displays a musician almost channelling mid-to-early eighties David Sanborn and that ain’t a bad thing. Sure, I can hear the purists saying it’s derivative but Abair serves up a sense of cool and it’s a smart career choice that still fits in Smooth Jazz and the more traditional outlets will probably taste-test as well. Watch this trend expand as more Smooth Jazz musicians fight to escape the box that’s been built around them and sometimes by them. More |

What’s Invisible? My Three First Books On that night, August 16, 1987, I was feeling like a deep vacuous hole of emotional need ready to suck the life out of anyone within a 90 mile radius. I was suffering from an acute case of divorce. Even though I didn’t know it consciously at the time, my adult life was really just beginning. I was 27 and after a few false starts as a broadcaster, doing the wrong music at the wrong radio stations for the wrong people, I found New Age music. Seriously it helped. It’s very debatable on what effect the harmonic Convergence really had. I didn’t hear world peace knocking on my door but at least, I was changing. It’s the only thing you can bet on, right? There I was on my porn-star-throne, my plywood ‘free flow’ waterbed, writing the last chapter of my first book. Fueled by grandiose delusions, the kind we see on American Idol every Tuesday, I was holding on to the dream that my musings of being dumped by my wife would create saccharine sunshine for the world to heal, or at least some reasonable hand-drawn facsimile of a Kumbaya moment. It did neither and for good reason. Still, I was convinced that even though I was licking the floor with pain and self-pity my ramblings were still gold and on that night I was convinced I had written the perfect break-up self-help book. I just needed a title. More |

John Beaudin – President and Program Director of What’s Invisible The conscious journey, for me, started by reading “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale. I was only twelve then. Considered an easy read with a hard execution, the book changed the way I looked at life. I found myself literally looking at the center of the pie from a different angle. Growing up in the seventies when belts were used for more than positioning pants I had my fair share of tough sojourns as a kid. I was sensitive, extremely afraid of the dark and had an insanely wild imagination. I saw things that were not there and felt too much but used books to self medicate. Coming from a long line of alcoholics I thought it best to draw a line in the sand on what should make me high. I chose knowledge. More |

February 26, 2010 – I have never watched the Olympics very much, that’s until this year. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a proud Canadian and we are hosting the games. It could be because our medal count is looking tastier by the day or simply, national pride aside, the spirit and discipline all these athletes display.
