There's nothing wrong with living in the past or in the future. There's nothing wrong with failing to (or choosing not to) "be here now" in the present. Is the present moment more enlightened than your past experiences or your fantasies of the future? How could we possibly know? And this assumes that there really … Continue reading Wherever You Are, You Are Here

The Fear of Burning
I think a lot of women carry the ancestral memory of witch burnings. We don't consciously remember it, but somewhere in our cellular memory is the remembrance that women with gifts of healing were routinely tracked down and burned as heretics by the Church, which was the "scientific" institution of the day. It is this … Continue reading The Fear of Burning
Burning the Past
"I should burn all my old journals." I only wish I could backtrack and remember what thoughts led to this one. The thought swelled so large and overtook my brain that all other thoughts were totally swallowed up and forgotten. Perhaps it was one of those rare moments of divine interruption, when the guidance you … Continue reading Burning the Past
Do You Worship God Or Your Beliefs About God?
Most of us worship our beliefs about God, rather than God himself. Our beliefs are influenced by a lot of factors, but a major one is the Bible. Many of us worship our Bibles more than we worship God. We worship our ideas about God that we've formulated through our interpretations of the Bible. The … Continue reading Do You Worship God Or Your Beliefs About God?

But … Continue reading Beloved Children of God

If your takeaway from non-dualism is that your feelings, desires, and experiences are irrelevant or even a hindrance to enlightenment or a fulfilling life, then you don't understand non-dualism.
Where Hope Begins
If we want true lasting change, we need to ask the deeper questions and break free of the polarization that has enslaved and hindered us.
Your Dark Goddess – A Song
A song came to me last month on the new moon while I was ovulating. I had recently read Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson, which prepared me for the major life upheavals which swifty followed. It shed light into dark places of … Continue reading Your Dark Goddess – A Song
Biblical Support for Spirit Guides and Communicating with the Dead
If you are, or ever have been, an Evangelical Christian, at some point you've probably been told that spirit guides/spirit helpers and communicating with the dead are unbiblical. You may have also been told that the dead folks and spirit guides that people claim to be in contact with are actually demons. I was content … Continue reading Biblical Support for Spirit Guides and Communicating with the Dead
