Our Person
Our evolution is linear, as in stepping through the stages of development, but also cyclic. We have seasons of great experiences, and seasons dominated by cleaning house. It can be hard to find time for …

On Money
Money can be a rather vexing arena. For example, the saying “money is the root of all evil.” Demonizing money is very unhelpful. I would argue that money is not the problem, it’s greed and …
Healing Trauma
A reader recently mentioned the work of Irene Lyon, a specialist in somatic (body) healing. When we’re unable to fully process a traumatic experience, that stress may be stored in the physiology. Even if it’s …
Cursing
Recently, a topic came up that I’ve not discussed here before. That of cursing. We could say cursing is the opposite of gratitude. It is an angry expression of non-acceptance. Some people curse habitually. In …

A discussion from the recent Tips article leads to some points worth discussing on Yogic flying. Why would we even practice siddhis (abilities)? We’re unlikely to get any good at many of them, simply because …
Recognition
“All any of it [that we experience] ever cares about is recognition. Really, this is what we provide as humans within the context of this universe… is we are aware. We are aware of our …
The Written Word
The written word is a curious effect of a darker age. In higher ages, we can communicate more directly, so writing isn’t required. The development of writing is actually a symptom of lower consciousness. Writing …
