Oceanic Awareness as the Source of All
Early on, in Greek thought and Oriental thought (Indian thought was a bit more complex), humans thought atoms were the smallest thing that existed (the word in several languages means or suggests "indivisible"). In the last century, we have moved through a number of deeper levels to smaller and smaller particles. In those early days… Continue reading Oceanic Awareness as the Source of All

Faith is……. (part 2)
"Faith is the bridge which carries us through moments of despair" What has faith come to mean for me? when i was young, the understanding of what faith meant to me, was akin to hunkering down, closing the eyes (in many cases closing to the voice of reason), clenching my teeth, and saying "i believe,… Continue reading Faith is…….

Why is “Awareness is Father of all” different than “God is the father of all”?
i feel that a comparison is necessary between an "Awareness story", and the "Biblical story" which is widely accepted by modern religious folks, to show why a change of our thinking and perspective is even necessary..... The way the biblical story is interpreted in our modern times, there is a chasm between the "Creator" and… Continue reading Why is “Awareness is Father of all” different than “God is the father of all”?

What does a worldview based on Awareness look like?

(and i sense that this is the case) A general housecleaning of our assumptions.....As the new framework emerged, all the… Continue reading What does a worldview based on Awareness look like?
The illusion of a tug-of-war between Physical Science vs. the Extra-physical world
Too often, science folks try to use ONLY the portion of reality called the "physical-seen world" to explain everything, but the physical world cannot explain the systems at play. It ends up being a tug of war/struggle between science and folks who believe there is more than just the physical world. Really unnecessary.... but in… Continue reading The illusion of a tug-of-war between Physical Science vs. the Extra-physical world
