Fight for Your Attention

I was washing my cup at the kitchen sink early this morning and woke up to the fact that all I need to do in this moment is be present while I'm washing the cup and nothing else. Feel the warm water in my hands and do the job at hand. Stay with the experience of where my body is. When I pulled myself...

The Value of Spiritual Work

True spiritual work is about work on being. It's not about believing, doing or adding something to my life. It's about remembering my true self as often as possible and finding the true purpose for being given the amazing possibility to become a conscious human being. For me it's first about...

Take Conscious Command of Unexpected Changes

"Your true self no more fears an unexpected change in life than water worries about how it will take the shape of the glass into which it is being poured." - GF Every day, whether we're aware of it or not, we move through a series of unexpected changes. Today it snowed in Southern Oregon...

A Singularity of Purpose

A New Mind

"Get it down in your mind and on a piece of paper that you are never going to think your way out." - Vernon Howard Whether we know it or not life is continually trying to show us that there is a new order of mind available to us. A mind that is fresh and relevant to the needs of the moment...

Learn to Tune Yourself to the Moment

I gave a short talk last Friday night at the Foundation about tuning one self to the moment. Just as an orchestra tunes each instrument to a specific tone to create a unified sound, we were made to constantly tune our lives to the wholeness of the moment at hand. We were given the capacity to tune in...

A Relationship with the Extraordinary

Find the Good in Any Situation

Let's be honest. Unless we sincerely value truthful principles in unwanted moments, those principles are meaningless to us. If I say I value kindness, but show cruelty when challenged what good is my belief in kindness? If I say I want peace on earth, but join in any gossip, where is my sincere wish...

Stayin' Busy?

I remember a business associate I once had who every time I'd walk into his office would ask, "So, are you stayin' busy? My knee jerk reaction was always to dance around and try to somehow make myself seem important in his eyes. I would say "oh yeah, I'm doing this and that and...
