When I work with coaching clients one-on-one, we focus on several pivotal shifts in consciousness. One is to bring the attention from the endlessly-changing stream of thoughts and fleeting feelings to becoming aware of awareness itself. Once you awaken to your true nature in this way, it is the foundation...

By now, looks like everyone with a keyboard and a mouse has offered up something to the blogosphere about the Occupy movement. I don't think that fellow in Canada ever imagined in his wildest dreams that his call to action would have this kind of global response.

Still, I keep...

My wife Chameli and I have spent the last several weeks on the Greek island of Corfu, leading our annual Deeper Love retreat there. Couples and single people gathered from all over the world to dive into an exploration together of a love beyond the usual confines of personality habits.

The word "other" is commonly used in English as both an adjective and a pronoun. As an adjective: "Born on the other side of the tracks." As a pronoun: "If it's not one thing, it's the other." Today I'd like to submit for your consideration the word "other" as a...

It's hard to believe that 150 years ago, white people owned black people in 23 states. Slavery ended with the surrender of General Lee in 1865. Chief Justice Roger Taney, on behalf of the U.S. Supreme Court, wrote in 1857 that black people were "so far inferior ... that they...

God and me have always had something of an up-and-down relationship. I really like Him (or is it a Her or an It? I've never been quite sure) a lot. I mean A LOT. More than anything else. But still, we've had our struggles.

My grandmother was my very...

I grew up in England, where I attended a "public school," which confusingly is the English term for a private school. I dressed up every day in a black suit, wing collar, black tie and waistcoat. This was the bootcamp training for becoming an English gentleman. I was born into...

The tragic events in Arizona over the last days have done what such events often do for us. They have changed how we move forward together into another American year. Of course, there is nothing we do or say or write about that can bring back Christina Taylor Green from...

What does the latest publication of leaked secret documents by WikiLeaks.org (now wikileaks.ch) have to do with you, me and the rest of us?

Nothing, you might say.

And everything, you might also say.

The State Department's response has been inevitable and predictable. The same questions...

Modern Man's Response to the Emergence of the Goddess

Back in July, I published a piece here on The Huffington Post called "Why It is Wise to Worship a Woman?" That article emerged in a very personal and spontaneous way. I'd been out for a walk with Chameli,...

My friend Luis Diaz has written a fantastic book called "Memory in the Cells." He has kindly asked me to write the foreword, and here it is. I will be interviewing him on Thursday, September 23 at 6 p.m. PST.

Whenever I start a new client with Awakening Coaching, it begins with four questions.

The first is, "What are your objectives of entering into this coaching relationship?" This means, "What do you want? What's important to you?"

The second question is, "What...

Here is a passage from my book "The Translucent Revolution."

Maria attended one of our retreats a few years ago. Now in her 50s, she has been practicing meditation, which she had learned from a well-known Indian guru, for more than 30 years. She had a very calm, empty, silent...

This is a practice from my book Leap Before You Look.

Lie down on your back
Under a cloudless sky.
Open yourself to the nature of infinity.
Let yourself move out infinitely in any direction
And be soberly...

Sometimes it seems like all we hear these days is talk of the tough economy. I actually conducted a little sociological experiment this weekend, and counted up how many times I heard people refer to the economy in a negative...

Here's a passage from my book, "The Translucent Revolution."

The feminine in all of us intuitively knows how to feel. People with more feminine energy (usually, but not always, women), whether translucent or not, have a much greater intuitive capacity to feel than...

"I love you."

"I'm curious about you."

We make statements similar to these all the time in all types of relationships. When we speak in this way,...

I wrote an article here at the Huffington Post that appeared on Thursday. It was titled "Why It Is Wise to Worship a Woman." Some people seemed to enjoy and appreciate the article. And some people, well, how can I put...

I was 10 years old when Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a little-known Indian teacher who had founded the Spiritual Rejuvenation Movement back in 1959, gave a retreat in Bangor, Wales. That retreat, with its usual attendees from the metaphysical sub-sub-culture, would have gone completely unnoticed...

Julian Assange's decision to publish more than 90,000 classified documents on WikiLeaks last weekend proved to be the most reported news story, worldwide, for three days in a row. Like many of the other shifts in the tectonic plates of collective consciousness these days, it has many layers and dimensions...
