I often lose track of what day it is and what time it is. The other day, I asked Berna, “What day is it?”
She replied, “Friday.”
And I responded, “Really?”
That was a trigger for Spirit to react.

The more you are focused on the illusion you call “time,” the more chance there is you will misuse it.
What do we mean by that?
Well, humans in general have what we would call an unhealthy obsession with time.… Read more

A few weeks ago, Berna and Spirit had a discussion about the question of what is real, and what is illusion.

On the subject of reality and illusion, I thought I really had it clear with all the reading I have done. But recently I’m confused about it again. So what is really real in the material world we see? I know our perception forms the illusion—the idea we are separate is an illusion.
But the material world itself, like the trees and the mountains and the chairs we make, and the bicycles, the material stuff—is that all real or is it also an illusion?… Read more

The total distance from Wyoming to Sweet Grass, then, was 566 miles or 1,132 miles round trip.… Read more

In our last newsletter article, Materializing, Dematerializing, and Other Illusions, we talked about how physical objects can seemingly appear and disappear with no logical explanation. Today we’re continuing that topic, but with a strange, eerie twist.
One cold late February night 20 years ago, my mother-in-law died at home. My wife, her sister, and our dog Schnapsi, were with her the moment she died. I was at home a short distance away, and when my wife called I immediately went over.… Read more
I’ve always been fascinated by this subject. But I didn’t really believe it was possible. That is, until I saw it happen right before my eyes.
One day many years ago I was leaving my office to go home. I went to my car, reached in my pocket for my car key. It wasn’t there. I looked in the driver’s side window, and there was my key, still in the ignition. Since I locked all the doors, I had a problem.… Read more
