A few weeks ago someone asked me, “Do you know where you’ll go when you die?” My answer: “Yes.”

There were two men at the door, and I knew instantly why they were there.… Read more

I’ve been a customer of Amazon’s many years, and have always been pleased with their customer service. But the past couple of months I’ve had a frustrating, ongoing problem with them. Without going into the boring details, they were refusing payments from my bank account. This is an account I’ve had for 25 years, and I’ve been using it with Amazon over 15 years.
I talked to everyone I could think of—Amazon’s customer service people (several times), my bank (several times), my family and friends who are Amazon customers, etc.… Read more

Trusting Yourself Is Always a Good StartI still remember the time, years ago, when I got my first “hate mail.” It almost literally knocked the breath out of me. I wondered how anyone could hate this work I do that much.
Since then, of course, I’ve gotten a lot more.… Read more
Come, while sitting in a comfortable chair, with me on a virtual bike tour through the Dutch polder landscape.
You have closed your eyes and breathed in and out a few times. In through your nose, out through your mouth. In this way you are able to attend to this special meditation in a way that is as lucid for you as possible.… Read more

Hi John,
I hope all is well with you.
I would like to run a question (by) you. I trust your insights.

There are reminders of the holiday season all around us, no matter what we celebrate—Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, etc. Or you may not celebrate at all. Or for you it may not be “the season to be jolly,” Perhaps the opposite, for whatever reasons.
Our world is seemingly in a mess, and for personal or global reasons it can be a depressing time for many.… Read more

You’ve probably heard it said we are not only in the universe, be we are the universe. The Sanskrit expression, “Aham brahmasmi,” means “I am the universe, and the universe is me.”
