Every action we take invokes and emboldens the meaning we make not only about that action, but also its opposite. For example, the more I choose to have everybody be worthy of my attention, time and love, the more I spontaneously experience myself as worthy of those things by others. To free yourself from aRead More
To be fully in the flow of service to others is easy when you take your ‘self’ out of the equation. As a means of doing this, simply assume that every inspiration to speak, act or give to another has come to you purely for the other person. I call this coming ‘to me, forRead More
A mind focused fully on others cannot feel fear. For example, to ‘interrupt’ references your self as the cause for rupture, which is a kind of destruction. However, to ‘intervene’ references yourself as the champion for a greater good outside of you. Both words offer the same action, but with differing implications on how youRead More
We see the world that we ARE. We are each a collection of patterns, predispositions, and propensities.

About 15 years ago, I was worried because I damaged something in my house. I was a new homeowner. I was telling my Dad and he said, “Don’t worry. If you can build it, you can fix it.” And that just let me off the hook of being even concerned. It was true. I knowRead More
When I was growing up the word ‘shithole’ was used a lot around me. As a kid, I thought it meant a place that was dirty, but as I got older I learned it also to mean a place with more crime and where the people didn’t have as much money. In my twenties, whenRead More
I learned recently that the Germanic root of the word ‘believe’ literally means ‘to hold dear’ or ‘to love’. As it evolved into English, for many centuries the word ‘belief’ represented ‘faith’.
