Recently, I read a news article which stated something like this: “Scientists have shown that, contrary to popular, modern philosophy, there not only “is” a self, but it is measurable.” I did a short search for the article but was not successful in locating it. The reason I bring it up, today, is because I… Continue reading Small “s” self is Ego

  You, beloved, fill me, As nothing else can. You transform my loneliness Into solitude. You incite my longing To be an open vessel, For your Life-giving essence To flow in and through me To show up In my actions, my words, My thoughts. Oh, how painful it is When my mind forgets Your loving… Continue reading Gratitude is All That Remains

I have tried my best to write this week and I have nothing but a bunch of words to show for my effort. My writing has been vague, meandering, circuitous, and virtually painful to read and attempt to edit. Sometimes my writing is like that. Rather than force something on-to the page, which does not… Continue reading Writing and Naming

What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.” I really only remembered the simplification of this quote, John F.

Friday, after I had created my blog post on remembering, I went back to work clearing out old emails from… Continue reading The Serendipitous Life is the Only Life for Me

When we are still in the process of remembering who and what we are, we can be confused by the appearance of separateness. When we fully recall the Truth of our being, all sense of separation vanishes. Think about these words from Tomas Stubbs: You see an endless vista of mountain tops poking through the clouds.… Continue reading The Wisdom of Remembering

  Today we are going to look at some of the teachings of Gangaji, primarily from her book Hidden Treasure – Uncovering the Truth in Your Life Story. Hidden treasure: Uncovering the truth in your own life story. (2011). New York: Jeremy P. Tarcher. Gangaji takes a slightly different approach to our stories than Byron… Continue reading Gangaji’s Perspective on Our Stories

On July 22nd I hastily posted a Secret entitled: Prayer for an Open Heart and Mind and I mentioned that I would like to share some quotes from authors who addressed this idea that “we are not our stories.” First off, I apologize to everyone for posting such a poorly written piece. I wrote it… Continue reading Life Can be Effortless

We create the lives we see by the truths we have accepted.   I have had so much fun creating and posting these pictures this week, I decided to purchase a new domain name and am going to post these pictures each day. The new site is called SelectedThoughts and will be functional within a… Continue reading Truth Creates
