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 - 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.

TERMINAL TERMINOLOGY – by Mary Giuffre
Now, one of my functions on this program was Producer of enticing advertising hype to promote the network’s cause, so I wrote a warm and fuzzy heartfelt blurb, submitted it to the series Executives and awaited approval. Moments later, the script was returned revised as follows: Coming Up Next: A Young Canadian heroine BATTLES HOMELESSNESS. I was stunned. Were they really asking me to further this child’s loving cause with a combat analogy!? Thus began my personal quest against the use of war terms. When you start paying attention you’ll notice everyday conversations are chock full of these words. In society’s survival of the fittest, fear-based, power-hungry mentality, businesses think nothing of setting TARGET dates or project DEADLINES ~ originally meaning the area military prisoners could not move beyond without risk of being shot by guards. And when an investment pays a hefty sum, people are making a KILLING. In sports football players go for long BOMBS, hockey has an ATTACK zone and a player in control of a soccer ball is known at the ATTACKER. Sportscasters and coaches twist games into combat, pitting teams against each other in a FIGHT to the DEATH. Even a leisurely afternoon game of golf has its roots well buried in battle terms. CADDIE for example is short for cadet, meaning someone training for military duty and FORE was a term used as a warning for incoming fire on the front lines long before it became popular on the links. We have groups out there FIGHTING for freedom and justice or individuals BATTLING cancer. We even have many of our best and most well respected spiritual teachers referring to those of us in search of our personal truth as Spiritual WARRIORS. I truly believe the energy created by is terminal terminology, subconsciously reinforces negativity and brutality in our society. Now that you know where these words originated do you want to continue using them in your daily life? With our extensive capacity for creativity, we as spiritually enlightened beings can to do better than this. The English language contains somewhere in the neighbourhood of 750,000 words. Let’s meet this challenge together by committing to a non-violent society that encourages the use of peaceful language. I’d love to hear your suggestions. Together our words can change the world! And by the way…my original script made it to air. - More articles by Mary Giuffre on What's invisible Please send donations for the homeless through: www.ladybugfoundation.ca ~ Go with the Flow!

May 7, 2010 - A young girl perhaps ten years old was a featured guest on a high profile daily network TV talk show I was working on a few years back. She told a story of driving with her mom in the downtown area of a major Canadian city one bitterly cold winter day and watching in dismay as an underdressed elderly man, dug through a garbage bin and ate the dregs he found there. With this heartbreaking image stuck in her mind, she asked endless questions, “Why is he out there?” “Where does he sleep?” “Where will he spend Christmas?” At a loss for all the answers, her mother suggested she do something about it and that she did. This lovely little one created a thriving charity and the passion of her personal quest to help the homeless earned her a spot on national TV to promote her cause.
