Synchronicity

Today, synchronicity played its hand. While pondering the nature of reality, over coffee, of course, I ran into a poet. Through a bit of teamwork a fluid expression of truth emerged. We went through several versions before the final draft was settled upon. It is simple and short, but, to me at least, it says a lot. Enjoy.

Separation, is

a shadow cast.

Itself proof

of light, at last!

Shaman dance

There is a crystal castle somewhere in the celestial realms, with corridors of crystaline purity. A light shines from within it, such that the entire place glows a faint green of gade. We are now gathering there, slowly drifting through the serpentine passages, and into the central chamber, a vast space with high vaulted ceilings and an alter of pure spirit light. We are now coming together there, settling down, coming to rest, and listening to the stillness with our hearts.

I am prepared to deliver the grand exposition on the nature of consciousness...
"Aahemm," I clear my throat as I step up to the podium...dust flying up from the brittle ancient pages of the Akashic Records. There is feedback from the microphone, and the light of the stage, blinding. I look around the room and see many familiar faces...I see you...I am comforted by the truth that all is Love and that there is nothing to fear in the revelation of Truth...for the Cherubim guard the sacred treasure, not for the sake of God's zealousness, but to play a game with the foolish adventurer.

I say, "Learn the ways of the Shaman dance: Find the pathway into the heart."

"No answer will suffice. No word can quench the thirst of your quarry. No thought or theory will hold its ground under the weight of that which is Real."

"Go and discover the Truth for yourself."

"Feel It!"

"This is the only way."

The light of Truth

And now we depart into a new world. We go deeper into the unknown.

I had wandered into a tent where a man named Bernie Prior was giving a talk on spirituality. The many people in the audience were wrapped in attention to his words. He said the world had a plan for us. The world, the entire cosmos was on a path of continual evolution and we are a part of this process. So we have no choice but to evolve with it or suffer in the resistance to this constant process of change. On and on he spoke, lulling us into a sincere belief that the cosmic forces were coming down and shining in through the pine tree branches and tent canvas. Deeper into “The Real” he took us, expanding our vision, expanding our senses.


A serene calm and bliss descended onto us. Looking on the faces of those around me I could see the hint of a warm glow, a vibration of sweet laughter, so high that it could only be felt on the skin. It was the light of truth.

We all know this sweet feeling: that warm glow, that radiant awareness. Our eyes go soft. Our shoulders relax. Our breath goes deep and calm. It comes when our hearts are clear. It comes when we hear a message that resonates deep in our souls and when we let go. It comes when we finally open up to the unknown.

The light of Truth.

down the rabbit-hole...

Whether it is a new twist in a relationship or a new adventure altogether there are times in life when we set out into the Unknown. These times are crucial to who we are. They are what bring in the new and scuttle the old. There is always that unsettling question of: How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? And of course: Do I have what it takes?


When I set out on my trip around the world there was a knot in my stomach, and stars in my eyes. I had imagined this moment in my mind for over 10 years. Yet the feeling of elation and intrigue and fear still surprised me. I floated down that final hallway and was acutely aware of my heart beat and I had to focus to not trip over my own feet as I boarded the plane. Finally, I was leaving! I was setting out on the grand adventure of a lifetime. I squeezed the arm rest on that airplane just to test if it was real, just to test if I was real. I squeezed just as hard on the memory of the goodbyes and promises for the future.

Think about your own life and times, when was the last time that you opened a door that led out into the field of infinite possibilities? I realize now that we have an opportunity to do this every day, in fact we can do it in every moment. I realize now that having jumped down the rabbit-hole that there is no going back. There are only new adventures waiting around every corner.

What is it that changes? Is it simply a matter of being open to the myriad of possibilities? Or does the thin egg shell of who we think we are get a new crack in it, revealing a dazzling and bright light beyond, every time we are willing to take the chance?

Why am I blogging?

I am blogging because I am excited to share my thoughts with the world. It seems to me that many people are ready to share their thoughts and the bloggosphere has come along to create the path. Amazing how things fall into place like that. So now I have my little corner of the net. I hope you enjoy and benefit from visiting my blog. Please post comments, no matter how trivial or preposterous.

So I will begin a blog.

Dreams for this blog:

1. following my bliss: sharing about my interests (especially spirituality)
2. having a positive influence on my readers
3. kick starting numerous projects I have in mind (just wait and see)
4. the unexpected
