The Soul of the EveryMan

Reason and Passion essential atomic elements that make up the soul-being of everyman. We need them for life. For without reason life is rudderless, and without passion, life is powerless. . . We discuss.

Prayer: It is the universal voice of the Soul of Man – that spirit within us all which cries out to God our creator. We discuss the relationship between Man – the Creator and the Creation.

Dreams: Dreams are what make life worth living. Without them, we are dull, diminished, and without hope for a tomorrow that is better than TODAY.

Thanksgiving: The stress. . .the hate. . . the essential need to forgive and be forgiven All in great thankfulness. We discuss. . .

Tomorrow NEVER comes. Live NOW.

Great Minds are often associated with Great Souls, Great Spirits, and profound Consciousnesses. However: The difference between the Great, the Average, and the Small is PERSPECTIVE.

Domination: To be made inferior to another you must consent. Oppressors do not merely wish to oppress, rather they wish to break your spirit, and thereby own that which is most precious. Your FREE WILL.

We all dream the impossible dream. We all fight the unbeatable foe. Unbearable sorrow is our constant companion in this Vale of Tears. What sustains us is the Nobility that is at our core.

Invincible: We are all unbreakable – if we choose to be.

Just as Darkness is the absence of Light -- Evil is not a thing unto itself. . .It is merely the absence of GOOD.

Can the ego surrender itself to the light of Consciousness? The proposal is couched in the terms of a battle. But who is the enemy. . .? We discuss.

Manifestation is not always about THINGS. Things are form -- ephemeral and time-bound. They dissolve as all form does. You – the time-less spirit, incarnate in form for a brief moment – you need to believe in what you desire to BE – and then BE it.

Peace It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. – Unknown

When confronted with a situation - the response of the ego is to create drama. The response of the mind is denial or justification. Guard your responses – don’t engage. As with the Zen Master Hakuin – respond with the simple phrase: Is that so?

The Mind needs a break from the gluttony of thought. Removing the feast of constant spin, distraction and the sugar-high of our own ideas puts the mind into a state of fasting. Sharpen your mind by giving it a rest from the excess – it will be leaner and more fit for the Being State of LIFE.

My interview with B. Weeks and Stephen Geeze from the Fresh Ink Group

TRUTH it is the only thing that Lasts, and the only thing that Matters.

What is the meaning of life? We explore the essential paradox in this question.

Beware the BARRENNESS of a BUSY Life. . .

People ruin Beautiful Things . . .but why? We discuss.

Intention is often confused with manifestation. Intention is a being state – manifestation is a doing state. What role does your INTENTION play in your life choices?

No one can choose their moments but everyone can choose their reaction. Claim all your moments and accept them, for they are precious beyond measure, and they are yours.

Hardening of the Heart: One of the Heart’s great secrets is its ability to harden. It is both a defense and an obstacle. We discuss this hidden human power.

You have to trust yourself because you have no choice. We discuss TRUST in the context of the irreducibility of perception in individual consciousness

Trust: Who do you trust? Can you Trust anyone? The sacred commodity of trust has been broken – exploited by our hyper-connected world and made almost meaningless. How can we rebuild it? Where do we start? We discuss.
