One of the things I have noticed as I awaken more and more to cosmic realities, including my feeling of being a Wanderer, is that I feel increasingly more rooted in much larger, more transcendent field of being. This beingness sees the present existence on this wonderful planet as an illusion of energy/light/love, of relative importance, … Continue reading Awakening and the Paradox of Reality: An Experience
Towards a Theology of Oneness
Summary of Reflection: The early Christian insistence that Jesus and God's substance was different than that of creation was a three step forwards movement at that time. It was good. Yet now the insistence may be moving towards the two-step back movement with our current scientific understanding of quantum physics and the unity of all things. … Continue reading Towards a Theology of Oneness

Kingdom of God: Among Us, Inside Us, Here Now, and Coming Soon!
The "Kingdom of God" is an often repeated phrase in the New Testament. What does it mean? My brief reflection will draw on both outer and inner traditions. I propose that there are four approaches to understanding the Kingdom of God. The first two of these approaches are more akin to "locations" of the Kingdom … Continue reading Kingdom of God: Among Us, Inside Us, Here Now, and Coming Soon!
Reflections on Reincarnation: a repost
As a Catholic, we are taught the doctrine of Purgatory. It is a "place" where the soul is "purged" of it sinfulness (refined in the fires of love) so that it can withstand the pure light and love of God. There are some references to it in the Bible and when I saw myself as … Continue reading Reflections on Reincarnation: a repost

I don't deny that some aspects of the institution that is the Catholic Church, for example, has been complicit in oppression, … Continue reading The Heart of God… Love

Second Chakra Blockage and Sexuality in the Media
I am in favor of sexual health. For some this means learning more about their sexuality and sluffing off a more prudish attitude. For others it may mean looking deeper within and learning how to say "no" to every temptation. When the heart chakra is blocked during sexual activity, the person remains unsatisfied and the … Continue reading Second Chakra Blockage and Sexuality in the Media
Experience of Centering Prayer
The following is how I often experience Centering Prayer. For me, CP is the most effective meditation technique for delving into the very being of the Creator. I'm not good at it, if one can even become good at such a thing, and I've only been doing CP for 2 years now. I sit upright … Continue reading Experience of Centering Prayer
