Resolutions and self awareness
Resolutions. Did you make them? Are you going to lose that weight, stop that smoking, quit the Haagen-Daz, not yell at the kids, and stop running red lights? Did they work last year? Just who is doing the resolving? You or your ego? Examine the weight scenario. You are twenty pounds heavier than some insurance…
Once seen not what seemed
This won’t be news to you. Not at all revolutionary. Things are not always what they seem. Carried by a roller coaster of thoughts or desires that have their own agenda, we may arrive at a destination different from the one we thought we chose. Finding ourselves farther from who we are. Instead of insight,…
Simpatico
A reader recently described an experience she had involving an overwhelming feeling of love and empathy she felt for a stranger. She had experienced this feeling before with others. An indescribable connection with another for no apparent reason. It is beyond reason, for the heart knows what the mind can not. There is an Italian…
Timelessness
A remarkable advantage of your continued ability to remain present moment based, is seemingly having more available time. As strange as it may sound, when the memory of past experiences and anticipation of future happenings are set aside in favor of remaining centered in this moment, remarkably it will seem as if you were in…
waves of you
Every single moment where there is awareness; there is also opportunity and adventure.

Body consciousness
Your body provides a vehicle for consciousness and as long as that body exists, so will there be consciousness. When the body has taken its last breath and the consciousness is extinguished, where do you go? What entity exists beyond the consciousness of which you are now aware? Where do you go when the body…
self awareness before awaking
The true self is always here and now yet out of this world. Each morning when you awake, you ever so quickly attach an identity to this self. Before you body regains full awareness you have returned to that familiar identity constructed over time. The source of the true self is beyond mind. Your thoughts…
per-sona and awareness
( per-sona, “a mask” or “through-sound”) When listening to another,be aware of the sound beyond the words. Is the sound confident or trembling, edgy or smooth? Even with a whisper, do the words belie the sound? True communication is wordless. Listen for it.
Individual or dividual awareness
You have a clear cut choice. Awaken to the total sense of who you are, or remain in slumber. Be an individual or a dividual. Divided into your social self, your work self, your family self, your friend self, your lover self, etc. Playing a role depending on the environment. Your life energy channelled in…
