How Can I Trust My Heart?

April 25, 2012

6

Is the heart truly trustworthy? Oh how I yearn to follow my heart but can I trust it, really trust it? This is the most pertinent question in my life right now. There is some confusion, in me and in you too, about what it means to follow the heart. Instinctual compulsions, lust, and much […]

Why am I Still Here?

March 31, 2012

So after kind of bashing the legitimacy of spiritual seeking online, I’m still here and planning to write about spiritual topics. And Myers-Briggs. But why? Why bother? Why does anyone blog? 1) Because I do viscerally feel connected with people online.  My feelings about blogging – my blogs and other people’s – are real to […]

Every since I watched Kathryn Schulz’s brilliant TED talk on being wrong, I’ve wanted to post something here about the incredible pleasure that can arise from being wrong. Here’s my opinion in a nutshell: Being wrong is one of the most liberating experiences. I actually adapted a lesson from A Course in Miracles about being […]

Peace vs. Complacency

Q: Do we need conflict to exist? A: Our identity as we know it is actually based in conflict. On the most basic level, we know what we are by exclusion, by defining what we are not. So existence in the fundamentally egoic sense is based on the notion of separation. Q: Can’t you have […]

My husband Daniel has this twinkle in his eye like he’s on to something. “What do we teach?” he asks me. I’m confused, “Information?” I ask. When he repeats the question, “What is the one thing we teach?” I ask if he means the message. Yes, he asks “What is the core content of anything […]

Holy Mother (a poem)

February 21, 2012

Peace is a woman, mother to the world, Whom God has sent to lay a hand Across a thousand children’s fevered brows. In its cool certainty there is no fear, And from her breasts there comes a quietness For them to lean against and to be still. She brings a message to their frightened hearts […]

Divine Authority – the real deal

February 10, 2012

Q: What is the spiritual meaning of authority? A: Authority is a strange thing. In this world authority is confused with dominance. It is fought for and requires protection. It can be both given and stolen away, often violently, or eroded away over time. This worldly hierarchical dominance-based authority is not natural. Q: What? A: […]

Egolessness vs. Self-esteem

February 4, 2012

Q:What is the difference between egolessness and developing a healthy self-esteem? I feel like I’m trying to do both and I suspect they’re incompatible. …And there are some feelings of guilt around that, to the tune of: Shouldn’t I be getting over my ego, not boosting it or even trying to make it a ‘good’ […]

Blogging without the Devil

January 28, 2012

0

Q: How shall I start? A: With a question. A question loosens reality as you know it. It allows the possibility of something beyond your awareness. It is an invitation. (Don’t ask what you think you should ask, stick to your most sincere questions). Q: Is this how I should write this blog? In Q&A […]
