July 24, 2011 – Even though most people seem to believe that Amy Winehouse died of an overdose Scotland Yard is saying, so far, her death is “unexplained.” 
July 23, 2011 – It’s sad to say that many saw this coming. According to reports Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home today. Sky News and BBC reported police sources as confirming the 27-year-old singer's death. 
- While in deep hypnosis I lifted her arm and with suggestion told her to go back to her most current past life. When her arm plopped down she found herself in a tent. 
As Raymond Charles Barker wrote in his classic book Treat Yourself To Life: (paraphrased) I have discovered that the rules laid down for the good of humanity and its progress work only when they are interpreted in terms of the inner person, not the outer person. 
- For many years now I’ve consciously, actively been on my spiritual journey. It’s been a twisty, curvy kind of off road track, meandering here and there, sloughing it up hills, careening out of control down hills. 
- Myth 1 - "Tarot cards can predict the future." Predicting the future is not difficult we can all do it. If for example you know someone who is consistently spending more than they earn and paying for it by building up a credit card debt then it's not hard to predict where that one is heading. 
- I’ve heard it said that holding on to unforgiveness is like taking poison while hoping the other person will die. The truth is, unforgiveness punishes you far worse than the person who did you harm. Chances are they have gone on about their life, clueless to the fact that you are still suffering and full of anger. 
- Grammy Award-winning vocalist Sade has announced her highly anticipated return to the live stage, and fans in North America will see her first. Her tour begins on June 16, 2011, in Baltimore, MD, at the 1st Mariner Arena. 
- As a teacher of how to use one's mind to manifest the things a person wants, I very often get the objection, "But what if what I want isn't what the Universe, my Higher Self, wants for me?" 
- The Sanskrit for Horoscope is “Kundali”. The birth chart or natal chart in Sanskrit is then called “Janma Kundali”. By definition a horoscope depicts the position of all the planets in heaven for given date, time and sun sign. This date and time is critical because planets are in constant motion and their positions are continuously changing.

Mysticism Meets an Impasse - Eckhart Tolle and Anthroposophy Steiner was referring to both Meister Eckhart, and his principle disciple, John Tauler. Cut, now, to a popular spiritual teacher of our present time, Eckhart Tolle. Eight centuries ago, we had Eckhart/Tauler. Now we have Eckhart Tolle. . . hmmm. . .so I did a metaphysical double take on this resonation, and decided to look deeper. One of the first things I discovered was that Eckhart Tolle’s keystone awakening, a life-altering experience at age 29, typified the kind of event found on the path of a mystic. As opposed to a rigorous, day by day, every-step-earned process, Tolle’s entry was an overnight leap into the Threshold. Subsequent to his epiphany experience, the Tolle of today, nee Ulrich Leonard Tolle, changed his name to resonate with one of his key influences, the original Meister Eckhart of the 13th Century.

Living Consciously: August 20, 2010 Dear friends,
How to know? That is the easy part. We can observe how we react to the situations in the moment. Be honest. Do we behave like a petulant kid who wants his dessert before dinner? Are we overly dramatizing how others seem to treat us, in the manner of an emotionally charged teen? In the privacy of our own mind do we talk about how “they” won’t let us, “they” betrayed us, “he or she” took advantage? Are we plotting and planning how to get our good rather than engaging and trusting the creative aspect of our mind? What is our goal here if not to be present and comfortable in our own skin; and as Aurelius wrote “not showing off our obedience to logos (God) but resting in it.” There is no need to take a stance as a warrior, a damsel in distress, a needy child, a superior intellect or the star in the great drama of life. We simply need to look within, call up the natural self, acknowledge our safety in the atmosphere of this spiritual universe and be ourselves. Life knows how to take us forward from that place. There is a way of being in the world that opens the whole field of possibility to us. We cannot fail at anything when we are a success at being real. More

The Real Science Behind Lucid Dreaming The power of having mastery over shaping the events of your own dreams is part of the very definition of the metaphysical. All of the normal dream-time rules, like 'timelessness', 'teleportation', and so on still apply: so, step into an existence where your usual limitations have suddenly vanished without a trace. Can it be so simple? Can you lucid dream and then make those things that in the waking hours seem impossibly difficult come to life in reality. In fact, lucid dreaming is not too difficult of an endeavor at all. You just need the drive and desire to learn this powerful method for bringing forth your innermost wishes. And, there are tried and true ways of mastering this power. More |

On the Trail of Love What is functionality in an incarnation? Prayer: Love, what would you have of me? Here I am, love, what would you have me do? Teach me, lead me, guide me. Help me to know you, as you are. One answer: Of those I encounter - strive to know them, as they are. Even beyond their own self-awareness. Love is ever accessible. Until we evolve further, we can only love to the edge of our development. Yet, love is, by nature, full. Fully evolved in itself. More

Lucky Charms, Amulets, Talismans, and Their Protective Power In more ancient times, people living in central Europe believed that garlic helped to keep vampires away, along with the crucifix. It has been strongly believed that if a person makes a charm, amulet, or talisman, it can often give off greater healing power and good luck to those that make and wear them. Amulets have also been known to protect from sickness and serve medicinal purposes. There are still many amulets, lucky charms, and talismans that are widely used today. In often more than a few cultures, people still believe in the healing and protective powers that amulets and talismans can bring. They are not just a thing of the past, and there is still a huge belief that they are highly effective. However, if you want the most out of your lucky charm, talisman, or amulet, you must try to make it yourself. More
Living Consciously August 17, 2010 Dear friends,
An important aspect of modern spirituality is the assertion of mind power over materiality. It is the daily practice of introducing wholeness affirmations into our thought processes. It is a kind of declarative stance that all is well, that life is good, that we are greater than we may seem to be, that there is One Power underlying all diversity, that we are capable of creating a world of love and beauty, peace and prosperity.

Respectfully Yours…Unconditionally!
Living Consciously August 16, 2010 Dear friends,
It is the constant noticing of what we think is missing that is the culprit. Rather than enjoying what is, right now, we tinker with the alternatives in our mind. This or that could be more or less of what it appears to be. It sounds like complaining, but in some instances it is merely the mind mulling over possibilities. We simply have to be careful that this tendency does not rob us of immediate enjoyment and possible discovery. Underneath what we judge as less, there might be more of something real and valuable which we would miss if we are overly focused on the judgment. A shy person may seem to be difficult to hold a conversation with, but if we accept them as is, they might open up and prove to be an expert in some area of interest to us. More

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. Steiner’s statement, pertaining to 13th Century mystic, Meister Eckhart, ran as follows: (to paraphrase) “Eckhart mistook the seed of his next life (accrued from wisdom of his then current life) for the “God within,” as he was not familiar with the dynamics of reincarnation.”
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 or its prey? Spiritual inventory has always been on the list of wisdom teachers as the first order of business for anyone seeking depth change in their lives. It all begins within, behind the thoughts and beliefs, at the level of our deepest self awareness.
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. It seems that whenever we get afraid for our futures we project our worry and fear to all who will listen. The internet can be a powerful tool in spreading whatever word you want to spread. If we want to help our earth and ourselves people, it's time to get real! The mind-boggling catastrophes we are witnessing today are caused by human error, negligent practices, unbridled greed and lack of foresight. The earth changes are part of the earth's journey through the stars. There is no mystery. The earth is not angry (though I wouldn't blame her if she were) and the gods? Well... no comment!
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. The crucifix is most commonly used in Christianity to protect from fallen spirits and demonic energies. Another Christian tradition is to place a holy book underneath a sick person's bed or pillow. Some people will wear crosses around their neck for protection, even in more modern times in several well-known places. 
Spirituality is a way of seeing and being, not a memorization of doctrine and rules. The depth of our awareness can be measured in everyday activities. Are we able to see and feel a commonality among all people? Do we trust in the goodness of the human heart to assert itself in the face of another’s suffering? Do we share our prosperity with ease and joy? Is our health something we cherish and look after in gratitude? Can we see through the appearance of ugliness to the beauty within? Do we expect the best and praise what is good now?
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. Different people have different ideas of enjoyment, some enjoy by making a lot of girl friends whereas others are happy with one, some party, smoke and drink a lot whereas other are happy with their daily routine of work. But in reality everyone is missing something that is, peace and relaxed mind which however is difficult to attain in the current scenario.
