Acceptance
I used to have a lot of trouble with “acceptance”. I think it is because my mother raised me to be a “problem solver”. We don’t give up. It took me a long time to understand that “acceptance” has nothing to do with giving up. When we accept we live in harmony with “what is”. […]
All You Need Is LOVE
All You Need Is LOVE An ancient notion popularized in our time by John Lennon. But what does it mean, practically? To “survive” we know a human body needs, basically food and water. “To live, the human body requires essential elements like oxygen, water, and nutrients (from food), along with a stable internal environment (temperature, […]
“Googleheimer’s” – To remember or use digital recall that is the question.
In a world where nearly any fact is just a few keystrokes away, it’s no surprise that our relationship with memory has changed.

But what exactly is stillness? I mean is there a single definition that we all agree on? Here’s Google’s take on the question: “Stillness is […]
How to stop the noise in my head?
Okay, that’s kind of a funny cartoon image. As those of you who have come to know me recognize. I like humor. A lot. But actually mental noise is not necessarily a funny issue. It can, quite literally, be maddening. But the good news for suffers is that it means you are a thoughtful person. […]
“Judge not lest ye be judged”
“Judge not lest ye be judged” Though I was raised Jewish, I still learned this one and it stays with me. Seems like some good solid advice for the “right” way to live. Still, I find myself doing exactly the opposite all too frequently. Why is that? Humans say one thing and then do the […]
How do I become conscious?
First, let’s agree first on what we mean by “unconscious”. When most of us hear the word “unconscious” we first think of a being passed out on the table or floor. Like “His head was on the bar and he was totally unconscious.” In the spiritual world we are talking about something a little different. […]
