I suggest that you see current events as a healing crisis, as opposed to something that’s really f’ed up (because on the 3D level, it is absolutely f’ed up). When you’re in an illness, sometimes right before you get better, there’s this deep dive into just this ick. So think of this as a healing…

Maui is the Home of my Heart
If you are a person who avoids the news, Lahaina is pretty much GONE. The death count is rising. Kihei has been hit as well. The fires are still burning. At least the winds from the hurricane have died down and they can get water dropping helicopters in the air again. My best friend is…
Equal Footing (reprint)
In honor of Juneteenth, this is a light rewriting of a post from 2014. The Monday Message will return next week. Legends, mythology, and stories abound with people giving up their worldly possessions on the path to enlightenment. I think a lot of people don’t really get what that’s about. I’m not sure I did…
[Monday Message] What do you stand for?
Last week, I wrote about priorities, and suggested you figure out what the three areas in your life which are most important to you are. Those are (or speak to) your core values. If you know your core values, you know what you stand for, you know what you’ll fight form, and you know what…
[Monday Message] Be Heyoka, the Sacred Clown
Comedians, at least the good ones, are the modern day fool; they take on the role of the Heyoka, the sacred clown. They get you to look at things in a different way, to recognize the absurd in everyday life. It is their role to offer us the possibility of changing the world. I think…
[Monday Message] You Are Responsible to the Greater Good
You are responsible. It is part of your job, as a human being, to be conscious in word and deed. Be conscious of what is going on around you and speak up when injustice happens, while understanding that your value system may not be shared by everyone; honor people’s agency and let them tell you…
Thinning of the veil, Taurus & Scorpio energy, solar activity, meteors…
This is one of my favorite energies of the year. Yes, I’m in one of my mourning periods, but there’s also all this Scorpio meets Taurus energy (which is where I live). It’s all sexy and earthy and sensual and feet-in-the-mud. This year, we’ve also got some meteor shower and solar activity. This is supercharged….
Money, Addiction, and the Concept of Enough – The Long Read
Money is a poor excuse for a God. Are you surprised by my assertion that we’ve made it into a god? What do people mean when they say “I’ve lost faith in the economy”? Why does the United States put “In God We Trust” on our money? Why do people (and the state) determine their,…
Spirituality and Late-Stage Capitalism
The relationship between Spirituality and money is complicated, and was long before we entered this phase of late-stage capitalism. The image for this post is from my Daily Messages (January 25th). The text reads: Abundance just is. Much like gravity, it just exists within the universe. Lack, its assumed opposite, is simply the illusion of…
Joy and Change: Moving Into the New Paradigm
It’s the last month of 2019! A few more holidays to get through and then we move into 2020, the year of (numerologically) Four! We are mid-paradigm shift, and this is the year the hard work really starts. We all feel like we’ve been working hard already, possibly even struggling, so it’s important to make…
Fabric arts ritual with an activist purpose
Back in July, I posted a ritual (not mine) to help protect immigrants. With all the hubub around Title X funds, I would like to offer you another ritual, this time from Crafting Change, for Abortion Patients, Providers, and Protectors. What you will need: * A quiet space to do this work * That which…
Why is the Internet important for change?
The Internet is a manifestation of the Fourth Dimension, what some people call the Astral. There is no time, no space, and you are not defined by race, heritage, gender, orientation, religion, or socioeconomic status unless you choose to be. This is not to say that you shouldn’t choose to be, only that you have…
