Christ Consciousness & Christmas

earth_star

Two thousand years ago, the man called Jesus came to earth for a remarkable period and mission. Most people, however, don't understand the true nature of a Christ nor how to best commune with or become one. For Christians, Jesus was the only Christ. That's understandable given a literal interpretation of his words without any comparative context or understanding. Yet, other religious traditions have exalted ones of similar divine stature. If you are unaware of this reality, simply read about … [Read more...]

Finding freedom even in the most difficult moments

dog_boy

When I was in my mid-twenties, I had a beautiful dog. I'm sure some of you have had pets that you deeply loved. I had this wonderful dog, and he was a constant companion. He went with me everywhere. Any room I went to in the house, he followed me. Anywhere I went in the car, he was my companion. We were together almost all the time. And then he developed a form of epilepsy, at which time I took him to the vet. They tried to give him medication to treat it, but the question of how much … [Read more...]

Spirituality & Consciousness

abstract_light2

What does being a spiritually conscious person really mean? Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality, an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being or the deepest values and meanings by which people live. Does being a spiritually conscious person mean we no longer have strong emotions one way or another, positive or negative? Or does it suggest that to be in higher consciousness we are no longer with emotions, regardless of what is … [Read more...]

Between the Notes | August 2011

franchini2

Welcome to Blog No. 2 of Between the Notes. Now that we all know we are vibrational beings, let's explore one of the main qualities associated with vibration: Resonance. When we talk about resonance, we are talking about the way waves or vibrations affect each other and the way they interact. We use this concept in our common speech to describe feelings of alignment, sympathy, attunement or common ideas (i.e., “That idea resonates with me.”) Or it can be used conversely to describe a … [Read more...]

Calling all readers: Consider that you are evolving as a being

stand_mountain

The year 2012 is only five months away, and the date of Dec. 21, 2012 - which is either the most magical day ever in the history of the world or just another day like any other day there's ever been, depending on who you ask - will be upon us sooner than we realize. To which I respond: In my opinion, there is no special date to prepare for and no predetermined time when the world will end. I've come to consider now as the most vital moment worthy of consideration - and there's no waiting or … [Read more...]

2012: The End or…The Gift?

schulte

We are obviously experiencing a great shift. Evidence is everywhere. It's in the increasing number of wars that are going on. It's in the rebellions: more people rising up to attempt to change their governments. The shift is ongoing in the global economy. It's visible in the documented increase of various forms of natural disaster. It's in the general uncertainty and extreme discomfort that so many are feeling about the future. All of these are signs that massive change is underway. But where is … [Read more...]

In Times of Transition: a Clinician’s Perspective

sun-leaves

It was a late afternoon in 2005. I sat at the office completing my presentation for a workshop I would offer the following week. I felt pleased and experienced the type of satisfaction that arrives when you know you have done a job well. Several key concepts had fallen into place, deepening my own understanding of the information. I mused, "One actually does learn when preparing for a presentation!" The subject of the presentation was of a spiritual nature, part of the Peace & Healing … [Read more...]

Conscious, Independent Thought

Reiter

We learn from an early age what is acceptable in our culture and what is not, regardless of what is acceptable for us individually. Although our egos like to believe that we have unique and ingenious thoughts, most of us think the same thought patterns each day, which are recycled in our society at large. The unconscious thought in the world accumulated from present and past generations is the collective unconscious, or Spiritus Mundi (Latin for world spirit), which encompasses the beliefs and … [Read more...]

Recreation of the Global Tree of Life

hand_print_tree

Ancient traditions of our planet almost universally looked upon the four geographical directions as sacred. Since the beginning of time, they have played a role in the ongoing creation of our planet and its evolution of consciousness. Naturally then, many peoples all over the world have performed ceremonies to honor these four directions. The four directions were thought to be associated with different spiritual qualities. Often each was symbolized by a guardian angel as described, for … [Read more...]

My Vision for the Conscious Convergence on July 17-18

pyramid_mexico2

The preparations to facilitate the Conscious Convergence, July 17-18, have now begun. Even if it will need the support and active collaboration of a large number of people, the snowball has started rolling. Very possibly, this will become an event that influences the course of our civilization by setting the intention to manifest unity consciousness on a large scale with the ninth wave of the Maya calendars. I would like to share my own vision of the Conscious Convergence, and what it may … [Read more...]
