Since Halloween (aka All Saints’ Eve) is two days from now, I thought this would be a good time to talk about dead people.
When my son was growing up, one of his and my favorite pastimes was visiting graveyards on gloomy days or at night.… Read more

We’ve all heard it said we create our own realities. But what exactly does that mean? And how do we do it?

First, let’s start this discussion with who each of you really are. Or, more to the point, who you are not.
You are not:
You are not any of those labels you use to identify yourselves while you are in your physical bodies.… Read more

Many years ago I had an unforgettable experience of being completely beyond time.
I’d left my house for a destination 10 miles away. I happened to check my car’s clock at the moment I started out. I was driving at the speed limit.
When I got where I was going, I checked the car clock again.… Read more
Heaven is not a place or a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect oneness. ~ A Course in Miracles
California Redwoods by Albert Bierstadt
All my life I’ve loved being out in nature—whether at the ocean, in the mountains, or just wandering through a beautiful flower garden. One of my favorite places to wander is the redwood forests of northern California.

One night about 35 years ago I was leaving my office in Arlington, Virginia. As I approached my car in the parking lot it was getting dark and no one else was around. Then I realized I’d locked my keys in the car that morning.
I searched the entire parking lot, hoping to find something I could use to pry open the car door lock.… Read more
Philosopher Albert Camus said “Peace is the only battle worth waging.”
War and peace are much on the world’s mind today, especially with the recent Syrian crisis. And, of course, the other conflicts raging around the planet.
Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:
In an earlier article on this blog, Do You Believe in Miracles?, we talked about so-called “miraculous” healings. What that usually means is medical science cannot explain the healings. But there’s really nothing miraculous about them.
As Spirit has said, “Miracles are nothing extraordinary. They are, indeed, the most ordinary events in the lives of you, gods and goddesses in human form….”… Read more
A Course in Miracles tells us “Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.”
My spirit guides say what we call miracles are commonplace, nothing extraordinary. In fact, they are the most ordinary of events. But unless they find their way into the news media, they go largely unnoticed. And yet they happen every day of our lives.… Read more
The Heart and Love of GodHow often have you heard someone say (usually when something “bad” happens), “Oh well, it’s God’s will.” I often cringe when I hear it. It’s almost as if people think God (or Goddess) wills only bad things for us. And that we have no choice in the matter. There was a mantra of sorts I was brought up with as a kid: “Lord, thy will, not mine, be done.”… Read more
