At the grocery store, I heard beautiful music and I went toward it… thinking it was the city’s or the store’s music playing… …and there was this man playing solo violin, so beautifully… with a sign asking for donations for his family, who had fallen on hard times… the whole thing moved me so… his fingers were red and white… I didn’t know how he’s playing at all… never mind how beautiful it is… and I told him that through tears… and I gave more than I’ve ever given, and left crying… I was so moved I went back and gave more… and I’m the one who’s gaining!!! I hope everyone else who hears hi ..read more

Some people readily grasp the non-dual teaching that “there is no-one there.” Looking within when the limited idea of yourself arises, it immediately disappears and you can readily notice in your immediate experience that “there is no one there”–no “person” with any substance. But by itself, this seeing is incomplete, and therefore false. It’s true that you have, almost all your life, thought yourself to be the separate, individual, maker, taker, and actor of decisions. And it can be quite mind-blowing to no be able to find yourself. Not finding yourself, as an object in your awareness, can re ..read more

Webinar Oct 12/2023 @8pm These are the questions I’ll be answering, and the topics we’ll be discussing. There will be time for open free flowing Q&A… (A replay is not planned, but there is a replay, the Q&A will not be part of it. (Editing videos for replay is very time consuming and I have a backlog of work in our Reality Lover Community.) People are using AI to recreate their loved ones, what does that mean, and is it a good idea? Can AI become sentient, persons? What’s the definition of sentient? What’s the difference between AI, the mind, and a real person…? And if you talk to a de ..read more

  I understand people wanting to know “the one event” that “caused” and awakening, so that they can pursue this one thing too. The truth is there are many things leading up to Self-Realization, and they all need to be present. Like a garden needs many conditions in order for plants to grow, and if one is missing, it won’t happen. There are seven factors to awakening. These factors are all the opposite of the usual things, the usual ways people are, which includes: streaming-dreaming the mind, having confused the mind for reality and one’s identity, and treasuring one’s sense of separat ..read more

Connect on Facebook Share Is Conscious Awakening for You? After releasing replays of the Conscious Awakening Week Webinars (still available for a few more days, no credit card, no email, no sales pitch), I started getting requests to join my conscious awakening program. And I have to say, it’s not for everyone. It depends on where which category you are in. You may have been interested in the material, may love the tools, and want support in discovering and mastering the five powers you possess, becoming happy, peaceful or even discovering the ultimate truth and eternal reality of who ..read more

My Journey… While this may seem off-topic, those suffering debilitating pain may find value in my experience the past 3 years, both physically and mental-emotionally. I have now vastly improved, with remaining symptoms being mostly and usually just irritating. (See 2023 update below). I’m going to try to give practical advice and a time-line of events of what happened and what I learned. (This is NOT medical advice, do not take it to be such. I’d  an accounting of my journey through back and perineal pain.) Six crucial learnings are… 1) Imaging is not diagnosis, and may be meaningless to ..read more

There’s three steps to feeling good in your own skin, this is the first and pre-requisite to listen to in the series–the next will be on Self Love.
