It IS Bliss
Back on Jed or Jedi, I touched on Tom Stine’s recent posts on the books of Jed McKenna. In a further post by Tom, a readers email suggested Jed makes enlightenment sound empty and boring. …
Fixing how we Look and See
On this blog, I talk about how it’s not about what happens, it’s how we respond that matters. In a similar way, it’s not about the organizational or political system that’s in place, it’s what …
Sex and Spirituality
In a discussion on the Self Realization post, one commenter raised the question of celibacy and the spiritual path, suggesting abstinence and many years of continual celibacy were necessary for enlightenment. Until recent times, there …

Understanding the Vedas
In another discussion, I was invited to contribute to an on-line article on Sama Veda. I thought you might find the overview useful. I would not begin to consider myself an expert on Sama Veda. …
