I recently received an email from a student who was concerned that by listing the ways that good things are present or would be appreciated, we may be "placing other  gods before" the One, Infinite, Source of All that Is. Here is my response: I get the sense that in your thinking, an object is not Source/Spirit, a person or event may or may not be Spirit, a quality may or may not be Spirit - and that is, indeed, what the culture teaches us. But what Emma Hopkins and Emilie Cady understood is that it's ALL ONE SPIRIT/SOURCE/SUBSTANCE. Every thing, person, experience, or quality we perceive ..read more

I'm leading a new group through the 12 lessons of Emma Curtis Hopkins, using the workbook edition of my book,  Unveiling Your Hidden Power; Emma Curtis Hopkins' Metaphysics for the 21st Century. Several people have asked to have the classes recorded and someone offered to do so. The plan is to upload each of the recordings on Youtube.  CLICK HERE for audio versions of me reading highlights of the lessons, with commentary and explanations ..read more

Thoughts on Good Friday during the Corona Virus shutdown... There is only one beingness, showing up in its own nature in, through, and as all that is, everywhere. That beingness, is-ness, essence, extends itself infinitely in all directions and as it does so, aspects of its fundamental nature cause some of what is being extended to be attracted to each other. In our universe Fermions (named after Enrico Fermi, the first person to split an atom) are the aspect of the one that tend to extend outward, and Bosons (named after Chandra Bose, the person who, along with Albert Einstein, discovered tha ..read more

I’ve spent the better part of the last couple months digesting all of this: listening, observing, noting consistencies and differences, comparing what I’ve perceived with other sources of information and, finally, going inside to find my own spiritual guidance. It hasn’t been easy, and some of it hasn’t been pleasant, but I think I’m beginning to get the deeper understanding that can guide us all. There are, of course, multiple levels of interpretation of these visions, and I’m outlining them in a new book about Apocalypse, which I hope to complete by the end of the month. There are also multi ..read more

too long? - download the pdf "Apparently there is an After-Life" ~ Raymond Moody Have you noticed how many people are talking about, writing about, and interviewing others about, Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) lately? Interest in the subject has got to be at an all-time high; of all my talks on YouTube, the one I did for the Florence Unitarians on this subject back in 2017 is the most viewed ( Is it just that the work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Brian Weiss, Raymond Moody, and half a dozen other psychotherapists made this topic acceptable - or are many more people, in fact, experiencing another p ..read more

   About 25 years ago, the man who wrote the wrote an amazingly different book, called . He’s a physics professor at Berkeley, named Fritjof Capra. He had also written a book called , on where we were in history, which I had found as interesting as his physics book. About that time I was working with a woman on a systems text who had worked with him. I was asked to coordinate a conference of systems people in 1990 that was focused on the future, so I took the chance to reach out to professor Capra through her and ask him to be the keynote speaker at this conference.  When he hea ..read more
