It is very interesting how different fields of thought talk about losing the ego and not identifying with anything (but rather everything) but then in the same stroke call this “enlightenment”.  This has been a conundrum for spiritual seekers (and here in lies the problem…”seekers”) for a long time.  I think we need to need…

Self Sabatoge, Conflict, Problems, Unrest and the Evolution of the Self

A Few Quick Thoughts on Oneness

I was having a conversation today, and I realized that many people do not see the connectedness between us and earth.  Many believe that “oneness” is a strictly philosophical concept, and has nothing to do with the real world.  But this is simply not the case.
