Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about life purpose. It’s one of the main questions constantly raised in an Akashic Record Reading. When this question is asked, what I find interesting is that the response is never what is expected, but for most folks, is exactly what they need. If I boil down the difference, …
The Hope of Choosing Me Over Grief reflects my inner exploration in the moment of feeling both hope and grief. I am in grief, feeling a sorrow over something which has yet to be and most likely will not be. Layers are falling away, layers of hope unfulfilled. Hope that perhaps…maybe…and now will not be. Not …

The Secret of Letting Go of Stuff explores the trials and triumphs of clearing life of baggage. A month ago, I gave up my garage. I have had a garage since I moved out 6 years ago. Over this period, I have whittled away at the stuff, letting go, slimming down. Three months ago, I …
Courage Gathered, I Name – a poem which came to me as I thought about how in the past I have given up myself in the face of abuse. I name you. I call you out. Once a feral focal point of my life. The best of me: Dominated. Hidden. Denied. In doubt. I ignored …

My mind and my heart have been full of thoughts and feelings of love. How I love myself and how I love others . . . a beautiful journey filled with the pain both of surrender and merging, autonomy and solitude. This morning, I thought of the following words which dig deep into the wings …
Recently I was asked this question: How does focus in the Akashic Records relate to focus in meditation? This question speaks directly to how meditation and working in the Akashic Records are either similar or different. In meditation, focus is wanting to lead you to a place where you let go of the activity of …

Recently, I have been looking under my hood at the rumblings I hear when my mind thinks I’m otherwise occupied. I’m happy to report that everything seems to be in good working order.

Is it natural, despite awareness, to be driven by overwhelming emotion? Yes. There are just times where you get overwhelmed. It can be overwhelming in a joyful, loving, happy kind of way.

Religion’s Spiritual Core addresses these questions. If spirituality is the understanding of soul and God, what is religion and culture? Do religions have a core which is spiritual?

Life is a journey not a destination. Simple to say, not so simple to experience. I want to get somewhere. I want to know I have accomplished my goal. All that gets translated into destination, a finish, a goal line, a point in the future when I know I will have arrived at whatever …

Is it true that we are spiritual beings having human experience? Over the last couple thousands of years, that’s true. However, things are changing. We are starting …
There is no limit to the illusion and expectation of standards. Standards. Standards of behavior. Standards for perfection. I have standards. The illusion of standards: the idea that whatever you do must be measured against inner standards to be evaluated and judged. The problem is that these standards are often unconscious, not clearly defined, or …

Trusting You is Trusting Me — a two-way road which only works for me when I begin with me.
A Cold Fog is one of many pieces I have written which explores how the intimate is intertwined with the divine. When my desire to feel a man’s finger trace my spine, to feel his lips on mine, to bring him pleasure in return – when this desire goes unfulfilled, the act of self-pleasure hangs …
