A Pyramid Of Hate Or A Vortex Of Love: It Starts With Us

After sitting with clients this week, I am struck by how much what seems to be the rise in hate and cruelty in the world is affecting people—myself included.  It elicits a deep sadness in me that the most natural gift of being human— to love and be loved—is thwarted by fear and ignorance.  Last year had the highest tally of reported hate crime incidents since 2008, when 7,783 incidents were reported to the FBI.

Breaking The Trance Of Evil

I recently reread some of Paul Levy’s penetrating teaching on how to break the trance of evil,  In his book Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil, Levy shows us that within the very force that can destroy us lies the hope of what can save our world at this time.  Levy describes wetiko as a non-local, transcendental force that cannot be adequately expressed in language, because it is not a thing. The abstract nature of the English language fails to account for such dynamic forces as wetiko that affect us all the time yet are not visible or measurable.

There Are Many Points Of View

Walking on the rugged New England coast yesterday, I picked up 2 rocks and began to taking photos of them, from different points of view.  The words, “there are many points of view” kept appearing in my mind.  I began to think of how each and every one of the 7.5 billion humans on earth as a different point of view, however slightly different they may be. 

Seeing Beyond The Mists Of Illusion

As human beings we are a complex web of interconnection, an eternal unified field of consciousness. The simplest way to explain that is that we exist in a space in which the observer, the process of observation, and the observed, are all one.  We are not separate from all that we have created, and this realization can awaken us to the power we possess individually and as a collective to create a magnificent and desired future.
