The other day I had a great opportunity to attend a talk by Dr. Amit Sood, a professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Chair of Mayo Mind Body Initiative, and a former TED speaker. The talk was to center on 'training your brain to be happy.' Initially, I bristled at the subconscious suggestion that I needed …

The Way Within
Is all experience necessary and good? Even if it’s bad? In the wake of so many terrible events in our lifetimes, both local and abroad, small and large, I ponder this. In my own experience I have learned things from my tribulations and come out stronger for it. Is this what awaits us? Coming out …
Kernels Within
Children are so much work. But I try to observe and let them shine through to me the truth of human nature. And what have I seen? These little people are pure mischief, pure energy, pure sadness, pure curiosity and pure joy. These are the kernels of which all adults in this world are borne …
Dual Intelligence
In my last post I was contemplating emotions, and how I believe they are divine forces pulled from the Source – or the God-consciousness.

In my past post I related the idea of Unity - that all exists as one, and there is no separation. Unity = God, or God-consciousness. This Unity is the mass existence of all and that which encompasses all. The Source. As such, it seems to me that within it exists energy. Kinetic potential. Could it be possible that emotions are divine forces of …
Context
My spiritual and intellectual journey had been fairly touch and go up to this point. When it rains, it pours. As of the present moment (summer 2015) this is the longest most in-depth period that I've written, read and reflected about spirit and intellect. In the past I would go through phases like this and eventually …
Thought and Heart
I have been consumed lately with the idea of consciousness and thought. Being these 'sentient' beings means having the wares to process information and self-reflect upon it. The fabric of individuality. But a thought is plaguing me: Do our thoughts really come from our own psyche? Our own brains and neurons? What if our thoughts …
