Friends On Facebook

An Affirmation of our Oneness

Today I had a somewhat unusual experience on Facebook. I added 6 “friends” on Facebook who were actually real life friends who were well known to me. This led me to thinking about the very popular phenomena of Facebook.

It is significant to reflect upon Facebook today, because of the long awaited IPO release of Facebook stock. In the years since its inception Facebook has become an essential part of any one whose work involves reaching out with a message or teaching.

Mother’s Day 2012

The second Sunday in May is designated as Mother’s Day.
It is a time to show appreciation and express our gratitude to our Mothers. Remember that the love a Mother demonstrates is special. The unconditional nature of a mother’s love serves as a reflection of Divine love.

Love Yourself

Learning To Love Yourself

— Self-Love from the well that is always full

Many paths of Spiritual teachings and Self-help books speak of the importance of loving ourselves.

Indeed, loving ourselves is a prerequisite for learning to love others. Although may teachers instruct us to love ourselves and stress the importance of learning to do this, to those who carry within them the pain of guilt, self-recrimination, self-doubt and lack of self-esteem, this may seem to be an impossible task.

There are three key elements of learning to love yourself that are often left untouched and unexpressed that are of paramount importance.

Earth Day – Green Day

Earth Day – Green Day

There was a time, in the annals of time, when every man, every women and every child thought of the Earth as Mother. She was called “Mother Earth” and mankind was her children. They nourished and cared for her, and through her benevolence all they needed was provided. Our ancestors lived both on the land and off the land and understood the importance of preserving the balance of resources, taking from the earth only what was needed and taking it only as it was needed.

As we moved away from the land to the cities this close symbiotic relationship lost its relevance to people. Our sense of ourselves as a part of the earth, coming from the earth and returning to the earth faded in our consciousness. The industrial revolution and the greed and disregard of many industries brought us to abuses of our planet unimaginable throughout the history of man. Species, once abundant began to slowly disappear. Voices from the wilderness of science began to issue dire warnings of the dangers of ignoring the many blessings of “Mother Earth” and abusing the gifts so freely and richly shared with her children.

Gratitude

Gratitude

The expression of gratitude releases a power in our life.

Gratitude opens the door to letting ourselves receive the blessings that surround us, right here, right now. Gratitude is an antidote to worry. It works on subtle energetic levels to invite into our life what we greet with gratitude.

Holy Week Reflections

Holy Week Reflections

The week that leads up to Easter is referred to as Holy Week. In the Christian Calendar Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus coming into Jerusalem to the accolades of the people. To the man Jesus, who traveled as a master teacher, a rabbi, teaching about God’s love for us, it must have been a time of celebration. Finally the people were listening to him.

Mega Millions Magic

The Mega Millions Magic

As the time for the drawing of the largest Mega Millions Lotto jackpot in history draws near, there is something magical happening on an energetic level. The hope that this nationwide event has inspired in the hearts and minds of people has created a tangible energy of openness to possibility, openness to promise. The vast change that a jackpot of this size would bring to the life of an individual is staggering to imagine. What seems to be a theme that is running through the minds of people, as I have heard 'man on the street' interviews, is the good that could be done with the money.
