July 14, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)

July 7, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Man's search for meaning is truly a search for God. It will not be found through the mind. You have to find a way to touch It.
June 30, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
There are moments of collective shared reality that wake people up to the underlying experience of oneness. We are entering that space. Embrace the other as the Self.
June 23, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
I am a catastrophizer. As a dramatist, I see catastrophe looming all around me, environmentally, politically, physiologically. In the end, we are all impermanent, we all age and die. But there is a Witness to all this. It is inside you. It offers comfort and guidance. Find it. It will help.
June 16, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Tests are embedded into the framework of life, both material and spiritual. Failure to learn requires repeating the class. Graduation is passing to a higher level. It is all a journey upward but it takes work. There are always teachers, inner and outer. Just learn to ask for help.
June 2, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
"Trust the Force, Luke."
May 26, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
There is an old saying, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans." You can also tell God your hopes and expectations. This was one of those weeks for me. If stories about my personal life bore you, skip this talk.
May 19, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
In the ultimate sense, you are all alone. Parents and teachers can prepare you for this awareness but in the end you walk this path alone. Great grief and sadness will arise. But then you will realize that there is no "you" vanishes. You are Everything and Nothing. You are all there is.
May 12, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
We are birthed by an Infinite Knowing. It cannot be grasped by the ego mind, the cognitive structuring of thought or the analysis of emotion. It simply Is. And you are That. We exist for a reason. Don't try to understand it. You already Know.
May 5, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
All movies have two halves, everything up to the end and the end. If the end doesn’t work, half of your movie doesn't work. Inspiration will guide the story. Seek stillness and guidance will come. Be inspired.
April 28, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
The Universe does not care about us, about our story, about our struggle. It created us to do the caring. It created us to love, to care about one another, and serve and honor Creation. That is the work of being human. It is the core joy of existence. Suffering is abandoning that opportunity. Learn to love.
April 21, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
The spiritual journey may lead to transcendent enlightenment and profound awakening. For me though it has moved on to the simplicity and joy of being a four year old. I wake up amazed by life and thrilled by the day ahead.
April 14, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
In many ways social media and its algorithms are metaphors for our own mind and the programming we have undergone since birth. We must learn to enjoy and turn off both or they will dominate our lives. Turning off the mind is a life’s work. Turning off social media may be as well.
April 7, 2024 Red Hook, NY (watch, listen)
Spiritual ignorance is thinking that your spiritual journey is about you. In truth, it is about others. If you are lucky or blessed there will be no you in the end to reap the rewards. You will be free.
