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.
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.

I couldn’t agree more. I just recently reconnected with someone who I’ve crossed paths with for over a decade, but never spent much time with. We’ve gone on a few dates and due to our familiarity, it’s created a unique comfort level and trust that usually takes much longer to develop. After a few lovely dates, he left for Peru, and to my surprise, within a couple of days, I found myself missing him. I’m a very selective dater, and so because this feeling is rare to me, I got excited about it. I began to think I might actually like this guy. This is where it got interesting and became a classic example of “premature romanticizing”: We exchanged a couple of e-mails while he was away that I found myself disappointed by. For some reason, I was expecting him to share some sweet sentiments, but they weren’t offered. And after a few days of discomfort around my disappointment, I thought, “Jesus… he’s in Peru, on a work trip, having an adventure, and we’ve only gone out a few times”. I became aware that I was completely projecting onto him, what I was looking for, and who I wanted him to be. (And of course, now that he’s left the country, I can easily turn him into the ideal man, since he can do no wrong, lol!) I realized that how I was feeling, had NOTHING to do with him at all. Again; we’d only gone on a few dates. I barely know the guy. Thank goodness I checked in with myself as soon as I recognized my discomfort. Our mind loves to play delusional tricks on us, doesn’t it? So thanks Jennifer Love Hewitt, because my thoughts returned to your article. I was able to take a step back, and in witnessing my projections, was able to laugh at myself, and put my premature romanticized thoughts to a halt. I figure, perhaps I should go on at least a couple of more dates with him before I decide if he’s Mr. Wonderful. And if he’s not, I’m okay with that too. Apparently there’s a whole sea of fish out there. Think I’ll take my time and pick the right one. ;)

May 7, 2010 - So Jennifer Love Hewitt is a smart gal. I read an interview with her recently, and in between discussing her new book, and being ‘bedazzled”, she spoke about the concept of romantic love, suggesting it was fine to romanticize a relationship once “in” it, but not a wise idea to do so, right at the start.
