If you need a shot of hope, order it today, it’s well worth it. I’m a voracious reader and often suggest to my husband that he read something I’ve particularly liked. Sam thinks most books should/could be articles but to his credit, he most often skims my recommendations. I know... Read more

I wrote in December about the radical experiential knowledge that we are not simply separate individuals but beings who are deeply connected to the timeless, eternal Reality that is called by many names. This is classical enlightenment. The story I used last time about waves and water illustrates the normal state before enlightenment or awakening as I prefer to call it. The first wave was convinced that it was separate and would be destroyed on impact with the shore. The... Read more
