Introduction From a New Contributor

Posted by  on Friday, July 18th 2008     

So when my wife and I were driving from Tiffin to Fremont, watching mile after mile of corn, wheat, and soy fields, it made perfect sense that my wife would turn to me and say, “You’re going to lose your mind before I do.”

Maybe I already have!

Gas Guzzling Gaffe

Posted by  on Thursday, July 17th 2008     

Gas just keeps going up and up. It’s crazy! What can we do? Grin and bear it? Eat less food to fill the tank? Not bloody likely. Won’t go hungry to feed that monster. Go to town less. Cut trips to once a month. Do everythin’ at once. A Band-Aid is all. Sure it’ll cut [...]

Who am I?

Posted by  on Tuesday, July 15th 2008     

This week I’ve had a series of thoughts and concepts present for a revisit. A friend mentioned Tolle’s book ‘A New Earth’ and said I might want to watch the review at Oprah.com. While there I surfed around a bit and came upon Dr. Wayne Dyer on Oprah’s Soul Series. Then one day on Twitter [...]

Obama as a multi-racial candidate

Posted by  on Tuesday, July 15th 2008     

[lang_en]My take on Obama as a multi-racial candidate (this was written in response to a reporter’s questions to me on this topic): So far, Obama has mainly been seen as a “Black candidate”–but as one whose “Blackness” is problematic because his father is not African American but Kenyan, and his mother is White. What is [...]

Cattle Cutting Cheese Catastrophe

Posted by  on Thursday, July 10th 2008     

Cattle cutting cheese? What’s up with that? Most living creatures phoot. Why is that newsworthy? Just heard that cattle phooting is the second largest contributor to global warming.  Higher then transportation. It’s inconceivable! Massive numbers of ‘em stockpiled. Force fed corn or soy. Hard to digest. Stomachs made for grass, so there’s massive upset. Creating [...]

Co-creatorship, Mind and Now…

Posted by  on Tuesday, July 8th 2008     

I wrote this in response to a question I received asking about soul and co-creation. The photo is a pink water lily in my pond. Thought you might enjoy them. Soul is fully conscious (aware) and non-conditional (absolute, without imperfection). Co-creation happens through Soul (as Thought) utilizing a polarity of sorts. Thought… not as in [...]

Hannibal's Elephants

Posted by  on Monday, July 7th 2008     

[lang_en]Umbria’s Lago Trasimeno is most famous for being the place where Hannibal, the Carthaginian, surprised the Romans in a bloody ambush. This happened in the marshy area that is now approximately where the little town of Tuoro is located. Yes, Hannibal is the elephant guy, but by the time his army had arrived here, the [...]

Money… I want!

Posted by  on Sunday, July 6th 2008     

About 8 years ago my step mother said to me, "I am my stuff. I am my money." What she was saying is that without her ‘stuff’ she’d be nothing. She was worthless. Are we our money? Does it really provide what it is that we desire? Power, prestige, lots of stuff, freedom? Or is [...]
