You are a Dandelion Ready to Blow Apart

Do you imagine the you who thinks it wants to experience enlightenment is solid? That this identity is as dense as say, a block of wood or a boulder? Because if your fictional self is getting ready to let go, once and for all, it’s really more like a dandelion gone to seed. Sure, you […]

The Whiplash of Sainthood: Why Your Awakening Can Look Like a Soap Opera

Myth: Awakening is an exit door out of this duality gong show where you get to leave behind identification with emotional content and plot-thickening storylines such as betrayal, abandonment, jealousy, blame and shame.

Carbonated Holiness and Synchronistic Mischief

“Laughter is carbonated holiness.” ~ Anne Lamott I’ve been crazy busy these days creating courses in the synchronicity playground, where my life is becoming so non-ordinary in its meaningful coincidences that I am startled into wonder and awe daily.

The Untold Story of What Synchronicity Really Means

Most of you who follow me here realize I’ve been exploring how synchronicity is nothing short of the Presence of Self breaking through the mind’s stronghold on reality. Awakening is a lot like taking the Red Pill in the film the Matrix…and that rabbit hole you fall down is not only a radical loss of […]
