My Friend Michael

It’s not easy being human sometimes. This mortal coil tends to recoil, it seems, to certain stimuli, at least at first, before the spirit has a chance to step in and reprogram the being.

 

A very good friend of mine, his name is Michael, has taught me so much about the [...]

A Balanced Perspective

Recently I’ve had the pleasure to be around a relatively newly opened mind, an intelligent and curious spirit, searching the Way along the common quest towards Truth.

It’s All Good

If you spend time investigating any of the strange and even disturbing elements of our present global reality, it’s easy to become disheartened or even anxious or desperate.  It’s not uncommon to feel this way and if you have, you’re not alone.  I spend a lot of time sifting through quite a bit of [...]
