Last week we discussed the concept of god and how we may exist in a biocentric universe that contains many parallel universes. A perspective where material form and space is an accepted illusion and TOE (Theory of Everything) is being sought. The story I wrote and the thoughtful discussion that...

"The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion, as well as, all serious endeavour. He who never had this experience, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be...

Henry David Thoreau, in the mid-19th century at Walden Pond, offered up:

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

Dreams and imagination are the paints,...

The poet John Keats said that "negative capability" is a key ingredient for any artist. We demonstrate negative capability when we allow ourselves to remain present in the face of uncertainties, doubts and fear without emotional outbursts, bringing drama or reaching for fact or reason to use as a scapegoat...

Ecclesiastes affirms that "to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven."

Is everything related? Does everything run in cycles? By watching the cycles in our lives we can become mindful of how our actions naturally lead to larger consequences. One can begin to...

Conflict resolution is a process that not only resolves the problem at hand, but also can actually improve relationships. Conflict is a natural element of all human relationships. It cannot be avoided. In fact, avoiding conflict tends to lead to more and increased conflict at a point in the future....

Meditation and Neuroplasticity

After spending time interviewing Tibetan monks while in Beijing, China, at the Lama Temple, correlations between their rituals and how they aligned with modern neuroplastic science began to surface. I was able to spend time with the Dalai Lama himself and found that he was curious about...

We are told that we are what we do, how much we have, where our political and religious beliefs stand and so on make up who we are. If you are a car mechanic, then that is the full extent of your existence; it defines the entirety of who you...

A popular notion in science fiction is the "Butterfly Effect." If you travel back in time, even the killing of a single butterfly can have devastating effects on our present. Well, we don't need time travel to see this sort of effect. It's all around us. Even the littlest action...

We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we rekindle it with life, we uphold it with...

So, time is a measurement, but does everyone experience it in the same way? Imagine the student in class watching that clock; those five minutes until he's free can seem like an hour. Or that same student out on the play yard having fun: That hour can seem like the...

Our energy fields can interact with a computer touch screen. They can interact with other fields of energy, including those of other people.

A Mood Can Spread

You walk into a room in one of the best moods you've had in a long time, and you can feel it. Something's...

"What am I to do? I am so frustrated!" she cried from the other end of the street. "He just won't let me take them off."

Nancy, an ex-girlfriend from high school, now years later, a single-parent, referred to her son who had been riding his bike with training wheels...

The Dalai Lama, when once asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered:

Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result...

I think it's safe to say everyone is seeking happiness; even if they are not aware of it. Aristotle once posited that we all seek happiness, but as humans we do not share the same path. Well, is there a sure fire path that will bring us lasting happiness, or...

Everything has limits; you just have to find them. Science is always seeking limits. We are continually told to be wary of the limits of what we can do. Limits are all around us. But is this really so? Science-fiction author Larry Niven once wrote a short story entitled "Limits"...

What exactly is consciousness? How does it manifest in our reality?

Our consciousness creates our reality. When a person goes to the doctor and discovers they have cancer, why is there no discussion of the consciousness behind the creation of this life situation (the cancer). It seems we often look...

So, what is thought and how does it connect up with quantum mechanics?

Your brain is comprised of a tight network of nerve cells, all interacting with one another and generating an overall electrical field. This electric field is detectable with standard medical equipment. Your brain waves are simply the...

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. All the stress that we feel is caused by arguing with what is.
-- Byron Katie

A nudge is a gentle push or light prod. Sitting idle waiting for something to happen will...

There are three main pillars that form the law of attraction (LOA) on which the process is based. First is desire, which comes from contrast, as we have discussed in last weeks' HuffPost article -- changing your thinking to view negative life situations as potential opportunities. You naturally ask for...
