Keep Going

Keep going. Success depends on persistence. Keep going. You don’t ever know when your moment will come. Keep going. You just never know.

Our Lives as Sacred Stories

Each of our lives is a sacred story. Learn how to tell it so that others may learn.

Waking World and Dream World

Both the waking world and dream world are real. The question is: How do we interpret them?

Teaching Others

We live each of our lives not only for ourselves but to teach others.

Who is Adam?

Who is Adam? An androgynous being created from the earth’s soil. We are all Adam, part of the earth.

Learning Lessons

How many lifetimes does it take to learn a lesson?  As many as it takes to learn the lesson.

Revolution

The world does not need a revolution, but it needs leaders who can respond to the revolution that is already happening.

Pause Between Breaths

A pause between breaths: silence, the voice of God, the Source.

Good Ideas

All good ideas are gateways to deeper realities.

Ownership

Everything we own is borrowed.

Fear and Courage

Fear is natural, but so is courage.

A New Theory of Money

http://www.yesmagazine.org/new-economy/time-for-a-new-theory-of-money
Interesting. Money is not a thing, but relationships. Ellen Brown proposes a kind of advanced, high-tech barter system with public community banks: a credit (debit) system, not an interest-based system (North Dakota is the model!). I have no idea whether this would work on a large scale, but maybe somebody does.

We’re All Angels

We’re all angels in human clothing.

Who Are You?

Who are you? Not this, not that.

Dreams as Gateways

Dreams are a gateway that connect this dimension to others.

Confusion

Confusion almost always precedes clarity.
