When we live life more than skin deep, with all of our heart, beautiful things happen. Years and years ago, in Cincinnati, Ohio, I was the only white musician in what was otherwise a 10 piece black band. And we played at nightclubs that had all black clientele. But the fact that I was white [...]

Do you ever learn lessons from an illness? I do and I find they’re pretty good ones, too. After four years without a cold, or a sore throat, or a bronchial infection, all three hit me yesterday. I woke up at 5:30 am yesterday feeling extremely congested. It was just a week ago that I [...]

Adding some curry sauce to vegetables might become a recommendation from doctors of Alzheimer’s patients if future research validates what current research is pointing to. That sounds like an enjoyable and tasteful way to keep the brain healthy to me. Nursing homes might get some new menus. Indian restaurants might become more popular with senior [...]

I know that the HRT debate is a hot topic for a lot of women. When my wife saw an article in today’s Wall Street Journal about some important new research, she requested that I mention it on my blog to help get the word out. The Wall Street Journal article reports that the North [...]

When to buy organic is a question I frequently have to answer. Today I went grocery shopping. I had on my list broccoli, onion, sweet red pepper, apples, blueberry juice, bread, carrots, mushrooms, celery, potatoes and tofu. I chose organic on every item on my list except two. With most everything on the list I [...]

The Wall Street Journal had a book excerpt two days ago on how thinking can change the brain. It was a self-evident truth to the Dalai Lama, but an impossibility, according to scientists. The excerpts were comprised of vignettes from the book, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain,: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary [...]

Activating intention is the key to unlocking the life of unlimited abundance. I remember when this first happened to me. I had just turned 21. My energy and inspiration were operating non-stop. This experience of energy was so new and exhilarating that for three months I hardly slept. I would doze off at 2 am [...]

Have you heard about Gotu Kola and the 256-year-old man? I have been a big fan of gotu kola for years but what I found out today motivated me to order four bottles (very cheap) of it. It also didn’t hurt that I found some last night that I had never unpacked from our move [...]

Have you ever wondered how to align your career with an inner life? Unfortunately, the inner life for many people is no more than a derailed train. Many people set off in pursuit of a career inspired by an inner life but quickly lose sight of their goal. The stress of working 40 to 50 [...]

Rising from ashes–what could be more uplifting in a film than that? Yesterday when I wrote about identity shifts and attractor energy fields, I mentioned the fact that the night before I watched a violent movie and the fact that it had a deadening effect on my consciousness. Well, tonight (Sunday night as I write [...]

Before I share with you about making an identity shift to joy, I want to touch on identity shifts in general. Making an identity shift was a key component in Steve Pavlina’s recent and excellent piece on how to be a millionaire. For instance, instead of carrying $20 in your wallet, you would carry $400 [...]

Toxic energy is hard to overcome. If you are trying to create something of beauty, or reach a goal, it is almost impossible to reach it in a toxic environment. Just ask any recovering alcoholic in the AA program. They will share with you of their constant effort to keep their focus on their higher [...]

Was it a rewriting of life that made Napoleon exhibit the boldness that was so characteristic of Napoleon? Ultimately, it was the story he chose to tell about himself that defined himself. If he bought into the truth that he was an insignificant little man of five-feet-four, he might have been content to be a [...]

Effortless mastery in holistic personal development means to become that principle which you are developing in yourself. It means much more than having an understanding of love–it means to become love. It means to go beyond understanding poise and to actually become poise. It’s one thing to understand the importance of living in the present [...]

Have you ever had reincarnation complications? If you have clear insight into your past lives and relationships from those lives, you probably have. I even heard a song once called The Reincarnation Blues. Reincarnation has always fascinated me. This fascination became most intense 22 years ago when I had an overwhelming sense that I was [...]

Back in 1988 I was living in Los Angeles and studying photography. I bought a camera and started taking courses at the Los Angeles Photography Center. One of the courses I took was on the Zone System, a system of film exposure and printing developed by the legendary photographer, Ansel Adams. My teacher, whose name [...]

Chances are, if you are on this site, you enjoy reading literature and books on the inner life. As a writer who focuses frequently on that subject, I get asked what books I read or recommend. Below is a list of 10 books that have impacted me more than most; that have made their way [...]

If I could show you a way to have a 300-year lifetime, would you be interested? It’s important for you to know why you are interested. Do you have dreams and ambitions? If so, great. You can make the most out of 300 years. You see life as an opportunity. However, some people would jump [...]

If you had a choice between two cars, one with an endless source of power that would never run out of fuel, or a conventional energy type car that would, which one would you choose? Have you ever run out of gas in the middle of a trip? Do you ever feel like your life [...]

How do we incorporate creativity and consciousness into our daily life? By being truly alive. It seems to me that to be human is to be creative. Any other approach to life, such as living mechanically, seems alien to me. When I sit down to write articles for this website, I often start without a [...]
