There is a difference between memory loss and losing your mind, and yet both are necessary steps in discovering who you are. Trying to hold onto what was, to structured thought, to making sense of what is and will be--all need to be surrendered for true awakening to occur. It's a tough and challenging path. Deepening consciousness will help.
January 12, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Three words in the "spiritual" lexicon are important in this challenging moment, "Try," "Allow," and "Be." Trying and allowing involve us as individuals and are very helpful in life. Being happens by itself. There is no path to being. It is happening as you read this.

My grandfather witnessed the arrival of electricity, cars, radio, and television. He survived two world wars, a depression and loved Johnny Carson. But although claiming to be ready to die at 103, he suddenly saw death and yelled, “Save me.” We will all survive worldly change. It is finality, eternity, we must prepare for. Look inward, not just at the manifested world.

"OH, THIS AGAIN!!!" These are the first words I spoke as I began my LSD trip 60 years ago, as I started entering old age and again as I watch the world slip into Fascism. I suspect I will say them on my deathbed. There are repetitive cycles to the human experience. Awakening is the revelation of these patterns and, perhaps, a release from the suffering they cause.

The mind is the slayer of the soul. Take a breath. Just say "nope."
February 16, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is the source of suffering. Your pick.
February 23, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
It is hard to always know your impact in the world but if ever there was a time to impact it lovingly and purposefully it is now. Take charge.
March 2, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
There are simple directives guiding us through the day. Pay attention. They have the power to cut through the media noise programmed to distract and entangle us. The directives are often silent and seem to rise out of nowhere. They care about you. Let them guide.

In the perfect balance of yin/yang, when fear and sadness dominate the world, happiness and joy need a place to go. Why not to you? Then you can radiate it back into the world. You can help restore balance in the universe.

Three of my friends are terminally ill, two of them just discovering they have only days or weeks to live. If you want perspective on these turbulent times remember this, life is temporary and transitory. Find the joy. Prepare to leave.
March 23, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Intuitive knowing is the only true guide in perilous times. Finding your way to core intuition and integrating it with heart and mind is the best navigational tool in a map-less and unpredictable future.

Reset!
April 6, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Arriving at “knowing.” It is not through the mind or heart. It involves “depth over time.” It involves practice and commitment - but is ultimately effortless. It arises. It will guide your life.
April 13, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)

April 20, 2025 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
