The Paradigm Police

“They definitely do not want us to learn to Surf the Tao, for then we would no longer be victims to their abuse.” – Surfing the Tao: A Revolution of Free Will

My husband, who is a bit older than I am, commented this morning that if someone went to [...]

Mind Wars: Ethics and Spiritual Ramifications of Neuroscientific Technologies

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.” – Bob Marley

Mind control and other emerging neuroscientific technologies and weaponry constitute a frightening aspect of the future we presently inhabit. When one considers potential spiritual ramifications, as perhaps not all researchers and reporters do, it becomes [...]

The Tao Te Ching: A Way of Life

“When a superior man hears of the Tao, he immediately begins to embody it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half believes it, half doubts it. When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs out loud. If he didn’t laugh, it wouldn’t be the Tao.” [...]

A Short Mantra

As I gather research for my upcoming posts, I thought I’d share a short meditation I use quite often to remind myself of what’s really important.

 

Repeat three times:

On Love and Letting Go

“Striving to increase awareness of our spiritual natures as well as the news, technologies and agendas which influence them.”

Well it’s obvious there is quite enough material to keep us busy on the “news, technologies and agendas” part of that mission statement. It’s the “increasing awareness of our spiritual natures” part that can [...]

Surfing the Tao

“Surfing the Tao” is a phrase created in an attempt to nutshell what could be the most important aspect of spiritual truth, or the Way of Life. A reader once sent me a great quote, “It is a lot like surfing… you catch a wave by being prepared, timing your move and having [...]

Practicing Eternity

“The Tao …is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities.” – Tao Te Ching #4

Centuries ago everyone knew the world was flat, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe. The geocentric, or Earth-centered, view of Reality was the leading philosophical and religious belief during the Middle Ages, held since [...]
