“…landscapes of the holy (are) centers of inspiration where human consciousness is temporarily set free. The experience of a sacred place and thus sacredness itself is re-entry into a state of wholeness – an introduction to your true origins.” –T.C. McLuhan “Sacred place…is a construction of the imagination that affirms the independence of the holy.”…
While it seems normal to compare the early life of a soul to the early childhood of human beings and parallels can be drawn between a souls’ life and the human maturation process, the same cannot be said for the time when souls take on vocations or careers. This process neither works like nor begins…
I had a student ask me a question about religion and belief concerning the Akashics. They had been called to minister in a religion and had done so for decades and then, through experiences and events and thought, had found that they no longer believed what they had been teaching and speaking and so felt…
So much of our focus is on what we are being told and how much and trying to screen it out and get to the things we want to talk about or have anything to do with at all. It becomes the two-sided coin information onslaught/embarrassment of information riches that we have to struggle with…

The urge to help, to console or to remediate things is natural and many…
Very few people manage to be islands of isolation. It takes a great deal of personal effort, skill, and geography to pull that off. Not just because you need to be able to live off the grid, live off the land, and be fully self-sufficient in everything you could possibly need, but because we are…
I saw a tattoo today that was drawn to appear as if the skin were peeling away from a woman’s shoulder and underneath were written words. And it really looked like her story was written under her skin. We are the stories we tell ourselves, not just the stories we tell to each other. We…
