Our Purple Future

If you have read my book Active Consciousness or have become familiar with my writing in general, then you know that having a vision of the future is what brings it into being. Toward that end, here is the bright future that lies ahead… I have a dream. That the increasing possibility for and advantages…

Get Current

My teacher Gary Sherman often tells his students to “get current.” He means that, periodically, we all need to take stock of our lives and readjust to what is. That might mean looking through your clothes closet and donating items that you haven’t worn in years. It might mean looking at the design of your…

Breathe

As above, so below. As below, so above. The Earth is going through an unprecedented moment. We are all going through the same thing. Every person. Every plant. Every animal. Every cloud. Every river, lake, and ocean. The nature of the symptoms of COVID-19 cannot be accidental. No matter what the outer cause may be,…

Ponder These Questions

The entire world is settling into a new reality, at least for a while. One natural response is fear and anxiety. Another is anger and frustration. Both responses aren’t very productive though, because they not only create suffering, but also weaken your immune system. So let’s take a new tack on what’s going on. It’s…

The Second Half of Life

Check it out: a picture of me and my husband Steve. This year we will turn 68 (Steve) and 65 (me). Like many people our age, we’re adjusting to getting older and our next phase in life. People in the modern world tend to fear getting older. Youth is equated with beauty and vitality and…

Happiness Is Just A Step Away. Can You Take That Step in 2020?

I recently read an article written by a young man dying from cystic fibrosis. Despite his poor physical health, he reports that he is filled with joy each day because he now realizes that happiness and peace are an emotional choice. Whenever fear or sorrow over his condition intrude, he is able to banish it…

Synchronicity Happens!

In my second book, Active Consciousness, I talk about the relationship between the phenomenon of synchronicity and the homeopathic principle of “like cures like.” In a synchronicity, two meaningfully related things are drawn to each other in space and time, creating one of those uncanny “coincidences” that can appear in our lives. I recently experienced…

Resistance Is Futile

As you probably already realize, I tend to write many of these articles about things that I myself am working on or experiencing. For me, my 60’s have been all about healing patterns that I established during my first ten years of life. These patterns were effective coping strategies back then, given my childhood circumstances,…

Manifestation Works! The RuLaToon

What can I say? Manifestation works, and not always how you expect. In fact, it works best if you don’t try to expect how an intention will be fulfilled. This summer, my husband Steve and I manifested a pontoon boat. This is how it happened, along with some lessons you can learn from our little…

The Revolution Is Within

Many of you know that I went to graduate school at Stanford to study computer science and later did research in artificial intelligence. In the last issue of the Stanford Magazine, a feature article about various recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in China painted a chilling picture. Do you realize that a great deal…
