Each of us are engaged, daily, with a wide variety of responsibilities. "Adulting" can be tiresome, draining, and we might wake up in the morning and simply not want to take part in all of the 'grown up' chores that await us. I know what that is like. I've had many "jobs" that did not … Continue reading The Activating Energy of Gratitude

Our Field of Being – Conscious Participation
“In other words, you decide to act as if existence might be justified by its goodness—if only you behaved properly. And it is that decision, that declaration of existential faith, that allows you to overcome nihilism, and resentment, and arrogance. It is that declaration of faith that keeps hatred of Being, with all its attendant … Continue reading Our Field of Being – Conscious Participation
Great Chain of Being and Concentric Circles
Here is a post from a previous blog I had that I feel touches on some interesting ideas worth sharing again.
Love Thy Enemy — As yourself
"Love your Enemies and pray for those who persecute you.." - Matthew 5:44 A profound recognition has taken place in my mind, off the heals of a conversation with my ex-wife.

Embracing Mystery
“The great beauty of life is its mystery, the inability to know what course our life will take, and diligently work to transmute into our final form based upon a lifetime of constant discovery and enterprising effort. Accepting the unknown and unknowable eliminates regret.”― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls In no small way, my life over … Continue reading Embracing Mystery
Embracing Metanoia
Metanoia is a Greek word that translates to "Change of Mind", used many times in the New Testament. Thought to translate as "repentance", though not as a practice fueled by guilt or shame, but literally to "change our direction". As many of you who follow my blog know, I have been transitioning through a very … Continue reading Embracing Metanoia
Bearing Our Cross
"O you souls who wish to go on with so much safety and consolation, if you knew how pleasing to God is suffering and how much it helps in acquiring other good things, you would never seek consolation in anything; but you would rather look upon it as a great happiness to bear the Cross … Continue reading Bearing Our Cross
