One of the benefits of the decline in health insurance benefits that I and many Americans are experiencing is that today I visited Jock, a practitioner of Oriental Assessment and Herbal Counseling. You see, last week, my wife whose health insurance I am under told me that because the deductibles are now so high on […]
Last night my wife and I went to a wonderful house party sponsored by MoveOn to view the video Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. The video confirmed what I already knew about Bush’s lies that dragged us into this stupid Iraq war. It was good to view it with about 25 others […]
I’m finding it hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year. I haven’t put up any decorations or sent any cards. It seems like such a hollow ritual celebrating an event that never happened historically in the way it’s described. There probably was a person named Jesus, but as for a “virgin” birth, angels, […]
Life is perfect and getting more perfect by the day, at least for me. I’ve been absorbed in working the Perfect Life Program in my own life as I prepare to offer a series of workshops on the subject starting next month. I find myself much more content and happily engaged in the activities of […]
A perfect life, what an incredible idea. To be able to live a perfect life in the midst of this world with all its obvious imperfections. When our life is so full of struggle, conflict, suffering, disappointment, etc., to be able to see the perfection in it is amazing. The thought that anything is “perfect” […]
Life sucks! That’s for sure, especially the last three years of the Bush regime. I can’t remember another time when the national and world outlook was so bleak. The suffering of so many persons especially due to economic despair and cutbacks, the death and absence of loved ones due to a senseless war, the erosion […]
It’s time for a revolution. However, I’m not talking about a revolution waged with guns. We can see how effective that is in Iraq. Regime change accomplished by force only leads to more conflict. The revolution I’m talking about is a revolution of human consciousness. Perhaps it could be better described as an evolutionary leap. […]
My son is living in Missoula, MT with his girlfriend. They moved there after he got back from spending seven months in Egypt with the Army National Guard which prevented him from going back to college last year. Now they have to wait until next summer to back to school so that they can establish […]
Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for. Someone said that happiness isn’t getting what you want, but wanting what you have. That’s how I feel. My wife, family, friends, home, vocation, etc. are what I have and what I want. I am truly blessed. I have lived an extraordinary life and […]
In his final album, “Brainwashed”, George Harrison has a line, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” So many people live their lives like that. They’re brainwashed and just react to external stimuli which is constantly fed to them. They don’t know who they are and have not made […]
