    Something Has to Change

    Change is our only constant. Something in you and/or the outer situation has to change. Go with the flow of transformation, don’t resist it by clinging to the obsolescent structures of the past. Life is change, you must keep moving, changing, adapting, transforming. Woody Allen, in his classic film, Annie Hall, said: “A relationship, I…

  • Self-Acceptance

    Self-Acceptance

    Self-acceptance cannot be postponed until you feel you are good enough, untill you have reached your ideal weight, idealized romantic relationship or other images of success. Even if you achieved such things you would need to keep the cyanide capsules close at hand because any of these things can be taken away. When will you…

  • Dealing with Moods

    Dealing with Moods

    Moods are as real and ever-shifting as weather patterns. It is all too easy to allow yourself to be ruled by moods, to go with the high of over confident euphoria, to get lost in the miasma of dark moods. Dark moods come with human incarnation. Moods need to be acknowledged and accepted. They cannot…

  • Concentric Relations

    Concentric Relations

    You may never know all the mysterious depths that cause some people to stand so much closer to you than others. There is the often-monotonous carnival of circumstantial acquaintance, and then there are those certain people you are connected to by inner ties. They are like planets with orbits aligning, even intersecting with the orbit…

  • Contemplation

    Contemplation

    We are culturally conditioned to contemplate people, opportunities and states of being from the point of view of immature masculinity: How much money will it make? What’s hot? What’s not? Is it loaded with enough bells and whistles to spike my blood sugar? It is easy to get so caught up in the bustle of…

  • Public Self/ Private Self

    Public Self/ Private Self

    “There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;” — T.S. Eliot You are not your persona or social self. We all put on social masks and in some circumstances they are quite necessary. But they are not who you are. If some old masks…

  • Crossing the Great Stream

    Crossing the Great Stream

    “Crossing the great stream” is a phrase that recurs often in the I Ching. Change is our only constant, and as life changes we come to intervals of transition, times that demand significant inner and/or outer change from us. The problem is that organisms tend to be conservative; they try to defend the old equilibrium,…
