I think of all the power we wield. From our mothers and fathers who gave us life. From their mothers before them. From their fathers before them. From their parents and those generations who lived centuries ago. In our veins runs the blood of their reactions to that power. That landscape of fertile ground that […]
The adaptation of new age philosophies that shame the seeker has been a thorn in my side for many years. This is especially true when it comes to illness or success. I still remember a friend of mine who is now eighty four years old after having read my book The Light of God when […]
Your body is a temple. Of all the gods who laid down their swords in service of your soul. Your cells, your tissues, your blood and your bones. Your sweat and your tears. Your sufferings and your joys. A vast landscape of light and darkness Entering both heaven and the abyss In search of the […]
There is this liminal space between bodies, the ones we incarnate into over and over again.

Be […]

Whether it be molded by ignorance, greed, irreverence or an innate darkness which has not yet been disciplined by the light, those truths which we hold to be intrinsically evident are only as such because we are […]
