I went to the gym this morning to swim.  I try to do it at least once a week.  The locker room has several TVs slung below the ceiling… usually tuned to sports channels (sound turned off, thankfully) so guys can watch the big game while they’re toweling off and changing. I was aware, today, that my favorite and usual locker is one that does not have a direct line of sight to any of the screens.  How nice not to have outside temptations trying too draw my attention for at least a small portion of the day.  These days it’s not that easy to do.

Not much to say… just a lot to do.  Editing The Tao… The Handbook… and the Quantum Physics article. Then comes the marketing.  Aargh.

Went through some serious meditation and analysis yesterday and realized…  enough already with gaping deeper and deeper inside to uncover more intricacies of the larger picture.  More important for me, at this point, of getting what I’ve already got one out there.  Better that something gets shared with others rather than something greater goes nowhere.  So… final editing and into marketing mode. Good luck.

Fifty three years ago on this day, Phyllis and I got married.  It hasn’t always been easy… but it has always been worth the effort.  I have often said that there was a question as to whether or not I should have gotten married in the first place… but if I was going to, she was the right one.  She is still weighing the options. Happy anniversary, Moo.

Oh… we’ve never seriously considered divorce.  Murder, yes.  But not divorce.

Very productive day yesterday.  Think I’ll take the day off.  See how long that lasts.

Counting today, 100 days to go till the end of the year and my commitment to do a daily blog.  Have I written anything important?  The depends on what we find years from now when we go through the entries.  Has the commitment, itself, been important? I think so, if it has done anything to change me or get the work out there.  YTBD.

Just back from Hospice Day. Busy…busy…busy. Saw ten patients today and can’t help feeling that what I’m really doing is putting into practice what I am writing about in my philosophy.  “You are not your body,” I tell them.  “You are the spirit inside the body.  Look for the bright lights and follow them and everything will be peaceful and painless.”  Nice to know I am doing something of value.

The talk on New Consciousness and Painless Dying is moving forward. Crossroads will be paying for the site, providing refreshments, aiding in publicity, and receiving a 1/2 hour segment at the start to discuss the physical aspects of the process.  Ever better.

More work on the one pager ‘hook’ to be used to interest people in my work.  It’s been suggested that I try to make contact with a company CEO or celebrity who has had a Death Return Experience.  So here’s what I did.   The focus was George Lucas.

[The fact that he was born on my father’s birthday is just a bonus.]

Just filled out a form for the talk I’ll be giving next month on New Consciousness and The Art of Dying Peacefully.  It’s part of a week long discussion in San Francisco on death and dying.  Lots going on. And I’m not even initiating it.  Just participating in those things that the universe is bringing to my attention.  Cool.
