So I keep coming up with different writings to focus on. So here’s the Challenge. Between now and the end of the year, I will come up with One Seminal Work… be it a book… an article… fiction… non-fiction… author determined… along with a commitment to determined focus. And since I’ll be taking notes here… you’ll be […]

New Consciousness says, The “I” I feel at my very core is not unique to me. It is the same “I” that every sentient being feels, and it is only because we relate it to the bag of flesh and bones that we live in that we think it is separate from the “I” experienced […]

I am a teacher of the New Consciousness. It’s what I do. What is New Consciousness? It is a way of looking at reality that is as different from what people currently think, as when people learned that Earth went around the Sun as opposed to the Sun around Earth. And that’s not just something to think about… it’s […]

And so the Tao of the New Consciousness is finished. Eighty-one verses have been written… the last one was posted yesterday… along with an introduction and now it’s a case of final editing and getting the Handbook of the New Consciousness up to the same level. I did realize, of course, that none of this is […]

Big discussion today with my son about the state of words in America today. Apparently, “All Lives Matter” has been co-opted by opponents of “Black Lives Matter” rather than being a higher and more universal goal and vision. “The road to truth is blocked by vowels and consonants”, said Khanna, a Buddhist monk over […]

A beautiful day in the neighborhood and I am heading out with my wife to a picnic put together by the hospice for which I work. Nurses, social workers, home health aides, administrators, and one chaplain… getting together to have fun, meet each others’ families, and reinforce the team work that makes us as good […]

Last night as I was going to sleep, a thought crossed my mind that I said I should use as today’s post. It was really very good… but I forget what it was. Just another case of doing something when you think about it rather than putting it off till later. How often does that […]

A special experience during my hospice rounds today. Went to see a patient for the very first time. She was in bed, lying on her back, eyes closed, breathing shallowly. I spoke her name and she heard my voice and turned her head, although her eyes did not open. It was clear that she could hear me […]

For the last several days I have not been eating… just don’t want to… have lost weight and feel very lethargic. I don’t feel sick, merely tired with no desire for food. I’m not concerned. If it continues for several more days I might consider having my doctor check me out. Meanwhile, just more experiences of […]

I have suddenly started eating less and losing weight, something I’ve been wanting to do for many, many years. Why? I don’t know. I also am reading Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History Of Time, and can’t help wondering if, like the universe, I have reached the ultimate point of my expansion, and am beginning my […]
