The Struggle between Greed and Compassion
For some reason I found myself thinking about some of the seemingly forgotten environmental disasters of the recent past, like the nuclear fallout still blanketing the earth since the earthquake in Japan. As I considered the long range environmental challenges facing today’s world, I suddenly realized that they all have a common cause. Why have the oceans become toxic sewers? Why is everything from the air we breathe to the water we drink polluted? Why is real food being replaced with roundup ready GMO garbage that rats won’t even eat? And, why does the threat of radiation poisoning from 440 active commercial nuclear power plants worldwide hinge on the operation of relatively simple water pumps? The answer to all these questions is GREED! …
Meet Me on the Playground
There are many different phases that people go through as they embody the awakened awareness that simply is. One of which is often a total lack of interest in the world around them. I’ve written a little bit about this in the blog titled: "Feeling Awakened and Lost: Finally Seeing the World’s Many Lies."

Who says you’re not perfect?
I love to turn things on their heads to see what happens. You know how it is when people say, “Well nobody’s perfect”? Let’s turn that around. What if everybody’s perfect? I mean, who’s judging the imperfect ones? By what standard? Their own? God’s? Who would know what God, (if She exists) really thinks anyway? Plenty of pretty strong views around the planet, but as many conflict with each other, the best we can say for certain is well, nobody actually does know for certain. So suppose for just a moment that…

Nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it
The other day I sent out an email broadcast. I clicked “Send” (as you do) and went about my business.
