Soul Journeys

We're enslaved by various attachments and we strive tirelessly to keep them! We're brainwashed into thinking we need someone or something. How liberating it is not to depend on anyone or anything. Attachment destroys our sensitivity, our consciousness, and our capacity to truly love. Go beyond need, into the desert and abiding love. Livestreamed: 2/13/26

Trip down memory lane; visiting Boston and Harvard Square, memories of exploring with my dad. The value of community and the recess of college life. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm appreciating it. Keep the party going. Livestreamed: 2/10/26

We are brought up to need people and things; conditioning: acceptance, approval, appreciation. What is success?... often, what others define for us. My spiritual self is bumping up against the established rational world. How does this fit with my Peace - Connection - Aliveness model of getting what we want? Eternal life is right NOW! :-) Livestreamed: 2/6/26

Back on campus and exploring "community". The problem is not the system, it's me, I'm just too old! Too nostalgic, wondering where our society is going when we embrace individualism to the detriment of community. The illusion of, "we're getting somewhere" and "life will be better when..." Take care of yourself and try not to piss off your teacher! ;-) Livestreamed: 2/3/26

Cultivating awareness; going beyond conceptualization, ideas, and words which point to reality but are not it. Concepts are static, reality is dynamic, always changing. Livestreamed: 1/30/26

Reality is a dynamic whole. We use static concepts and words to indicate parts, to point towards reality, but they are not it. We experience reality as it flows by in the moment. Awareness is to watch, to observe what is going on within and around you. We think we know, so we never discover. Livestreamed: 1/30/26

Interpreting Christian doctrine through an eastern lens. We need to wake up! Die before we die. Stop playing with petti things. Let go of our selfishness. Take care of each other. Develop awareness and clarity. Livestreamed: 1/27/26

Not even the greatest guru can take a single step for you. Become happy through contact with reality. We belong to reality. We belong to God. Live in the present moment, taste it, live it. We bring about change through seeing, understanding, awareness and compassion. We must drop prejudice and condemnation. Livestreamed: 1/23/26

We're in the midst of the fallow season; a good time to rest. Kicking my sleep program into high-gear! Taking care of body, mind, and heart. Stop feeling guilty about not doing enough. What if the self just disappeared for a while... letting ourself move with the season. Livestreamed: 1/20/26

One understands one's personal worth when one no longer identifies or defines oneself in terms of transient things. Every negative feeling is useful for our awareness and understanding. Every time you are unhappy you have added something to reality; you have added a demand, an expectation, a craving. Always. Livestreamed: 1/16/26

We're going through out time, and our time is a struggle. Take care of ourselves and each other. Understanding our darkness, embracing and tempering it. Coping with our brutality. Be clear, compassionate, kind, and courageous. Livestreamed: 1/13/26

Honored to be here. Feeling like we belong. Cultivating belonging and empathy through community and practice. How are we showing up for ourselves and others? "Be kind to everyone, for everyone you meet is having a rough day." Livestreamed: 1/9/26
