Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. --Macbeth, William Shakespeare Thanks for the wake-up call, William Shakespeare! Apropos of nothing, but still interesting, is that whenever I contemplate this quote and appreciate it I see a woman smiling back … Continue reading Choose your playwright →

Why are we here? We are here to recognize everyone (and let's not forget ourselves) as who we truly are. When we recognize the beauty and wonder of everyone else here with us, our experience with them is transformed. It has to be. When we see beyond who we thought we were in relation to … Continue reading Transformed vision →

As the layers melt, we come to see what has perceptually separated what we consider to be our separate selves from other selves, perceived as equally separate. They are layers of fear in all its components--anger, frustration, hostility, guilt, jealousy, helplessness. When you access one such layer, you may be tempted to condemn this whole … Continue reading Releasing what you embraced →

Go way, way back. Back to the beginning of what you consider to be this lifetime. Even in the womb, you felt tension and contraction, relative expansion.

There was a moment when you understood yourself--your … Continue reading The most beautiful game level →

It's always there and connects all of us. … Continue reading Clearing our shared space →

I have been given the phrase "forget to remember" many times, and it has always been a helpful pointer. I was given it again several days ago with a sort of tap on the shoulder to write about it, and then again today. I'm sharing this part of the process because I sense others out … Continue reading Forgetting to remember →

When you meet a person, you could let your story about yourself meet their story about themselves. Or you could just meet them. You could look right through the surface and greet your very wise sibling across space and time. "Hey, You! I can't believe we're playing these roles! Can you?" Okay, this part would … Continue reading Signals to awaken →

What thought can come into this space? As you ask this question, notice the interval before a thought shows up. Notice the intervals between thoughts. If a thought enters that is disturbing, it has come into a sacred place--a place of light and love. The light of awareness dissolves the thought.

At some point, functioning according to the dictates of the ego seems so hopelessly complex, confusing and pointless, that you just surrender and give all to the all. "Here you go. You figure it out.
