I’ve been doing a lot of thinking – again – about how science and materiality have utterly trumped mystery. Well, it’s a sore spot and no mistake. I’ve been reading a book by David Abram called Becoming Animal, and he devoted quite a bit of ink to this idea as well. (I’m hugely enjoying Abram’s […]
I live in a world that grooves, gyrates, syncopates, and funks to the rhythm in my bones. A couple decades ago, during a time of ridiculous stress, I developed a heart arrhythmia that gave me a spot of bother. The heart specialist showed me the EKG readout, pointing out that one of my ventricles was

The Big Secret is, secrets are dumb and we are better than that. People who want to have secrets are people who want power over others. Anybody who says to you, “Yes, I can teach you the secrets of blah blah blah universal blah blah blah, sign up for my $6000 course,” might be taking
I’ve written about him before, plenty, because he’s just so gosh darn fascinating. I really can’t help myself. So first, let’s just establish here, that the original mentions of our 6th Century CE friend Merlin (from a book called Historia Brittonum, attributed to a monk called Nennius in the 7th Century CE), are all about
It’s the Vernal Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Autumnal Equinox for our friends in the Southern. Happy Equality Day, everybody! There, I fixed it. I have been ranting for … a couple years now about this whole Equinox binary story, and I just realized this morning that this holiday has been celebrated
I’ve been writing a lot about shamanism lately, for a reason. I’ve been reading a lot about shamanism lately, and animism, too. And the more I read, yes, the more I realize, we need this desperately now. This is what we are wired for. This is how our brains actually function. Not having this is
I have spent way too much of my life feeling like a fish in a rainforest. There’s plenty of water around, but you can’t swim in it, and Don’t Even Ask about breathing. You, too? So many people. Eventually it all starts to make a kind of sense, but … not all that much, to
I recently mentioned that the Veil between realities is something we live with every day. We can choose the Materialist world or the Imaginal world, and the way we treat the world around us is the key to which one we end up in. No, really. I’m totally serious, here. This is my serious face.
The Language of God A particularly dear friend had an insight for me in a recent deep and wide-ranging conversation. I’m used to it – every time we get together we tend to serve as sparks for each others’ thought processes. I wouldn’t trade that kind of kinship and understanding for all the anything in
