Saturday, December 5th, 2009
I’ve been contemplating my eyelids for over 30 years. It’s been a marvelous journey. The simple act of closing my eyes and emptying the mind has been completely life-transforming. While the benefits of meditation are truly astounding, there are certain pitfalls to be aware of.

Be Kind To Your Mind – Your Head Might Explode!
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
I used to think way too much. I would continually ask myself questions over and over again and ponder deeply in a confused miasma of circular thinking. I was addicted to it. My wife would tease me, “Be careful — your head might explode!”
The mind is designed to generate thought, but sometimes we get into mental ruts of endless constant analysis where you never solve anything or reach a point of completion.
5 Simple Steps to Enlightenment
Thursday, December 4th, 2008The mind itself is intangible, in fact it does not exist. The surest way to control it is to seek it. Then its activities cease. ~Sri Ramana Maharshi
Enlightenment is your essential being. It is your natural state. There is nothing to be attained, you are already enlightened. When all layers of the onion skin are peeled away, what remains is enlightenment. You will know enlightenment when you experience a quiet allness in nothingness.
Surrender
Let go. Release the past and any desire to want more. Forget your culture, forget your gender. Be open and accept who you are, where you are and where you’ve come from. Be like a freshly fallen leaf at the end of its life cycle, golden in color, gently floating along on the water’s surface, without fighting, without knowing where you’re headed. Enjoy the ride.
Spiritual Journeys in Gratitude, Compassion and Wonder
Friday, November 14th, 2008Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. -Mother Teresa
God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. -Mother Teresa
I was amazed in reading a review of Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light that the saint from India had such difficulty in sustaining an on-going presence of God in her life. I share a similar problem. What follows are three spiritual journeys I take to combat the problem. (more…)
Moonlight Nirvana
Friday, October 17th, 2008I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver
Being French Canadian and part Cree Indian my love of the land burns strong inside me. Last night while camping in the Nantahala Forest I decided to go for a moonlit paddle. I slipped my 17 foot Kevlar canoe into the cold gray water and suddenly my world was transformed.
The full moon revealed a silent panorama of shadow, light and sparkle. Silence prevailed except for the pulsating lullaby of tree frogs and the lapping waves against my boat. With eager strokes I moved closer to the center of the lake. In awe, I peered behind me to gaze on the glistening triangular reflection of moonlight left in the wake of fresh rippling water. There was a hint of pine in the autumn air and a gentle breeze brushed my face. I looked up in amazement at the diamond-studded sky. Reflections of cottage lights glistening on the water only added more stars to the spectacle.
Affirmation Music Will Transform You
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008I am a long-time meditator and I am extremely aware of the thoughts I think. Spending time in a “no-mind-content” awareness serves to heighten my consciousness of the thoughts I think on a daily basis. It is like fully experiencing the new, exquisite taste and texture of food after a long fast.
I am the product of my thoughts. My thoughts determine my emotions and feelings, and equally important, they ultimately become how I see myself. Since I am responsible for the creation of my thoughts, I must be intentionally mindful of the thoughts I allow to enter my mind field.
Affirmations of Letting Go and Becoming the New True You
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. — St. Augustine
The ancient Greek aphorism “Know Thyself” was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Uncovering who I really am has become the surprise of my life. After years of introspection, observation and self inquiry, I believe I’m beginning to realize who I really am. This is new to me, and it’s exciting!
