What does reality want me to do? That would be a good way to ask what to do next? Even to ask for help in what you need to do next. As I’ve said before, praying to the universe or asking, “What does the universe want me to do?” is a cop-out. The Universe doesn’t …
The Universe and Presence
Published: Sat, 08/05/23
What does the universe want? Or does it even want? Or is it even an it?
Maybe we should dive a little deeper into our own belief systems. Where do these ideas come from? Why do we take them up so readily? Is there in inner intelligence that we can tap into?
What do you think? Does what you say and think matter?

The Awakened Self
We can use the word self to mean two different things. It can be the enlightened self, the one who is seeing and being. Or it can be the unenlightened self, caught in the ego. Sometimes these two meanings are designated with a big S or a little s. If I was the one who …
Living in presence
Living in presence means you can’t pretend. Actually that’s kind of the secret to everything.

What does the universe want me to do?
What does the universe want me to do? This has become the new biggest lie that we’re telling ourselves, and telling each other. I challenge you to to look a little closer at what it is we’re constantly saying, look how pervasive it is, and look how how easy it is for something like that …

Non-duality needs to be a verb. The whole reason we have Advaita, Not-two, non-duality, is because the idea of one doesn’t work well. It’s so easy to take the idea of Oneness and turn it into a thing, turn it into a separate thing. I’m here and I’m trying to get to Oneness over there. …
Being and Becoming
So here’s an interesting thing to think about: the difference between being and becoming. So much of our spiritual search these days seems to be about becoming. Becoming something.
