LUCY AND THE ART OF SWORDSMANSHIP
Playing frisbee with Lucy the border collie often brings unexpected pleasures. Like today, when she stealth-creeped toward me watching to see where I would send the treasured frisbee a-flying. She was having fun; I was having fun. A great game of play together on a steamy afternoon. In this moment I recalled a poem recited by one of my instructors at the Family Institute of Philadelphia back in the early 1990’s. I cannot find the actual poem, but it goes something like this:

Manta Ray Freedom Message
July 4, 2026 A message from the Manta Rays What you believe to be solid reality is not that at all. Your bodies are a conglomeration of wave forms you have consolidated with your mind. Yes, this is truth. Barbara has had a number of experiences that have been teaching her this is so. The first occurred years ago while she was looking out upon a pod of dolphins along the Jersey shore. All of a sudden, the tail of one of the dolphins turned into a much larger whale tail. That g

EARTHQUAKE
Mother Earth is shaking and quaking. Though the above photo does not come from Caracas, Venezeula, it shows the devastation that is caused by an earthquake. My friends in Venezuela literally ran for their lives yesterday when massive earthquakes occurred back to back. Just weeks ago, friends on the Big Island of Hawaii experienced a massive earthquake. No one died but the damage was extensive and severe. Countless lives will be lost in Venezuela. Life is so precious. We are h

PATIENCE
It did not take long to figure out what kind of image would best represent patience. Dogs have the most amazing patience. Think about it. They get up early in the morning because they want their breakfast and to pee. They have to wait, legs crossed, belly rumbling, for their human to get out of bed and get going. Then, when their human works outside of the home, they wait all day for that human to come home. They do know at least 1/2 hour ahead of time when the human will arr

The Funnel Approach
As usual, I was just sitting here minding my own business. Actually I had just sat down to enjoy a mid-afternoon snack. And in they came, flashing away such that I could no longer ignore them. The RAINBOW COUNCIL, a celestial group of masterful beings who have been making appearances for several years now, are determined. They come in close and personal so that I must listen. Sometimes they present in rainbow colors. Sometimes they are pure white light. Always they are in geo

PERCEPTION
Lucy is a border collie who LOVES to play frisbee. Visualize that she is staring at a tree in the backyard. Her perception is that the red frisbee caught on a branch and she, in spite of leaping on her hind legs, cannot reach it. The truth is that the frisbee grazed the branch and fell on the ground. I called to her again and again to find it. She ran around in circles, even stepped on the frisbee, but in her mind, the red frisbee was hanging on a branch. What a lesson in per

creating new infrastructures
Dear Friends, Yes, it’s been a good long while since I have been in contact. 2025 was quite the year for all of us. I love the probably AI generated post that features Johnny Depp saying, when asked for his thoughts about 2025: WTF! We would all probably agree with this assessment! I spent 2025 deep in the woods of northern Wisconsin as the Volunteer Coordinator for The Christine Center. It was a full, excellent and interesting year. If you are not familiar with this superb

Mysterious Soul
When we emerge from the ethers into physical form, we begin to lose full consciousness of why we came into physicality. This begins the process of learning, the soul unfolding one learning module after another. Seeds sown before birth, it is the human experience to grow and to harvest, to reap the benefit that leads us further along our path of spiritual development. My teacher, White Waters, laughed when he talked about how the learning continues even after departure from th
