Consciousness is Primary. But Not Ultimate.

There is a growing consensus in contemplative and philosophical circles that Consciousness is the ground of all reality — the ultimate, the all, the One. It is a compelling framework. And it is almost right. Almost. Consciousness is real. Profoundly real. It is the intelligent substance in which all things appear — the field of […]

Diversions and delays

Don’t worry. Don’t fret when life and circumstances beyond your control, divert you off course. Don’t lose sleep when compelled to take a U-turn.

Hunger for Meaning

The ego needs success to thrive. The soul needs meaning. Richard Rohr These words did not teach me something new when I first encountered them.

Not All Classrooms Have Four Walls

From birth, we are enrolled in the University of Life. There is a hidden curriculum at work in every life.
