Who is the Experiencer?

A profound inquiry I live by is the simple question, “Who is experiencing this moment?”  Is it the finite self that wails and suffers?, as Emerson asked or is it the Infinite Presence that lies stretched in smiling repose?Can we discover this vast spaciousness where we perceive from a higher order of being?

Chaos and a Higher Order

Behind the chaotic events in our lives is a higher order and purpose.  As we sense this inner order and sacredness we realize that we are not separate from the emerging evolution of our time.  Could we allow and participate in this reordering of our world?

Time to Wake Up

A new species is arising on the planet.  It is arising now and you are it. That realization is the awakening.  There is no time to delay. Life on earth is inseparable from human consciousness.  What does this mean?

Letting Go: Transformation and Healing

When we know there of how to suffer, we suffer much less.  We are able to make use of the mud of our suffering to grow lotuses of love and understanding.  In transforming our suffering we do this for ourselves, our ancestors and our descendants.

Non-Craving: You Have Enough

As soon as we realize that in this very moment we already have enough, and we already are enough, true happiness becomes possible. Instead of craving for what we don’t have we are grateful and fulfilled in what we do.

Impermanence: Now is the Time

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.  Contemplating impermanence helps us touch freedom and happiness in the present moment.

The Wonder of Inter-Being

“To be is always to “inter-be”. We “inter-are” with one another and with all life. Like the flower we are full of life’s element, earth, rain and sunshine.

The whole cosmos is present in one little flower. It is empty of a separate existence and full of everything.

The Wonder of Clearings and Renewal

Emerson tells us “Only the coming is sacred.”  Jesus says, “Behold, I make all things new.”  Could we let go of what no longer serves us?
It’s time to be transformed by the renewing of our mind and heart.

The Wonder of Insight

When we look within, we discover the authentic truth that uncovers itself as “insight”.  These "aha" moments are often surprising and yet revealing.
Let us pay attention and discover anew the light and love.

The Wonder of Wonders

Erika Luckett sang, “If we’re not in awe, we’re not paying attention.”  Could we be fascinated with life?  Could we look and learn and practice deep listening?  Curiosity becomes sacred as we unveil the beauty that is all around us and within us.
