“The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains- is the Zen you bring up there”. Robert Pirsig Charley Castex & Richard Sparrow Eagle— Lakota Spiritual Leader 1992  In this time capsule- circa 1992: we have Richard Sparrow Eagle, spiritual leader of the Lakota nation and one bright eyed, long haired aspirant who soaked up the spiritual stuff. This honest to God- Holy man, took the young buck under his wing, until he could fly on his own. Six years learning and living with Sparrow Eagle, was one surreal sandwich.  In this photo opportunity moment, our mission was a ..read more

“I am not what happened to me- I am who I choose to become.” Carl Jung-  It seems like I’ve always been an alternative spiritual counselor- a guide of souls. I have an early memory of counseling a policeman and pontificating about “life lessons”, while still playing with Tonka trucks. The Cops came to our house because mother was on another ballistic bender. When the war zone got to be too much, one of us kids would “call the cops” hoping sheer embarrassment would scare mom straight. Sergeant Pat said: “How do you know all this?” Your just a kid!… “ “I don’t know officer, I see movies in ..read more

“All men are fools- only wise men know it”. Tao Te Ching If you have ever been a 1st grader or a freshman, you have been a fool On the road from child to wise one, we risk sucking out loud while climbing the learning curve. Getting wise demands boldly going where no idiot has gone before. Growing beyond the known requires doubling down on discovery. The Tarot’s fool card depicts the soul in search of experience. Waltzing chin up towards the abyss of the unknown, this joker forsakes safety by saying yes to adventure. A Hero’s Journey (also known as the mono myth) is a sojourn of becoming a full ..read more

“In every human being there is a heaven whole and unbroken” Paracelsus   Happiness is an increasingly rare commodity in modern society, yet chasing after it is a dumb way to seek fulfillment. The irony of questing for joy, is that bliss is already preprogrammed. The prize is on the inside- at the bottom of the cereal box.   Wise folks, have historically said: “what you are looking for- is inside of you”.     The inner core is often the very last place humans probe for happiness. In order to access our bliss, we have to know where its located. So please inquire within. Zen ..read more

Happy Summer,  Before a caterpillar lodges inside its chrysalis, quite curiously, it’s head pops off! it morphs into a majestic monarch - from worm to wings, shedding its “head capsule” to manufacture a new mind. This cue from nature, suggests ditching our old databank for a mentality upgrade.  Thinking intentionally, rather than randomly, surely isn’t easy, but it’s essential to empowerment. Most of us, I imagine, feel like “a piece of work.” So then… let’s get to work! How to- is often the stumbling block : “How do I quiet my mind”? “How do I get a handle on all these crazy emotion ..read more
