In writing about sacred space, I’ve been thinking about religious spaces. And there are a lot of religious spaces to consider. Just the number of temples in India boggles the mind, let alone the shrines, ashrams, and wandering mystics. Or think about the number of churches in the Bible Belt in the states. Heck, where…
I hear people talk about listening being an art form or a lost art. *sigh* I don’t actually see it as an art so much as a necessity of life. Kinda like looking where you walk. You can not do that and stub your toe, fall and break a bone, go off steep cliffs and…
I know quite a few people in my life that are either self-employed or are trying to start a business or just get a new job, something that makes sense for their life and that they can at least be satisfied with and be able to pay the bills. However, they all struggle constantly and…
I’ve heard that other writers and artists suffer through this as well. There’s a point, somewhere in the middle of a project, where it feels like you’ve totally failed, you’re a failure, this is never going to work, you should scrap it and start over, you’re never going to make deadline, what was I thinking…

Souls are taught the difference between thought forms, creation, and conscious existence. In a realm where thoughts are energy and therefore manifest as form, that dissolve once the thought has concluded and the thinker has moved on, a distinction has to be learned between temporary thought forms and existing forms which are unaffected by thought. …
The soul book for each individual records the social worker’s detailed decision making process, the teachers credentials and agreement to act as guide for the soul and information concerning the nature of the soul’s soul group at its inception including social orientation and general perspective. A group’s social orientation might be towards picking an interesting…
Souls learn the culture of symbols. Symbols are not just forms or concepts or a means of communication. They are beings, entities in their own right with history and free will and abilities of their own. Symbols can be used to create, to deconstruct, to educate, to facilitate travel and bridge worlds.
