“I AM the Resurrection and the Life”
John: 11 25-26
What if the resurrection never happened? I mean, what if there was no Judas, no pieces of silver, no Pilate – no Crucifixion? What if Jesus worked it all out with hugs and left everyone in his wake feeling warm and bubbly as he flashed the peace sign while he repeated ‘Love is all there is’.
My question is how can we despise Judas when he fulfilled the prophesy of a new age dawning and served the peaceful warrior up on silver? He had to betray the Lamb of God in order for us to pay attention. It’s not human nature to go looking to change the status quo. So we paid attention but in the convoluted journey from then to now, we have betrayed that gentle message of love and compassion and awakening over and over and over again. Read more…

How do you measure success?
Yesterday I had tea with a friend who had recently had the occasion to chat with Kevin O’Leary of Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank. These are the advice bits he offered her: if you can’t articulate what your business is about in 90 seconds no one will invest in you; successful people have to be prepared to spend 18 hour days for some duration; spend your time not your money, and finally, know when to get out.
T queried me on the last point. How do you know when it’s time to call it a day; when you’ve spent enough money – when do you decide your great idea just isn’t going to fly? Of course, I had to confess that I was probably the wrong person to ask about that. Read more…

How a simple reversal of perspective will give you the life you desire.
But first I have to share a word with you that is so significant to our health and happiness it is the only key to our personal joy and to the flourishing of the Earth and the Universe she rests in. So mystical is this word that it frightens us and wakes us in the night and causes war among brothers. So magical a word that when we say it with understanding we are liberated from all fears – forever. This word represents a gift of creation so powerful that it rivals the miracle of our birth. And that word is DEATH. Read more…

Do you feel the hot breath of self doubt on your neck?
Part 2 of 3
I am as passionate about the nature of business as I am about the nature of the body and spirit. For me, a card carrying entrepreneur and risk taker, I devour books on business trends and strategies with equal pleasure as I do ancient spiritual teachings. I am as fascinated in how to develop a new market as I am how to reveal the inner spark of creativity. Actually its all the same to me. Read more…

Does your life reflect your heart’s desires?
When I hear the phrase, “You reap what you sow!”, I can picture my Aunt Myrtles’ piercing brown- black eyes and her mouth clamped shut in final punctuation. The meaning was unmistakable. It was all about punishment for misdeeds. And, man – I was guilty all day long! I didn’t say thank you. I didn’t smooth the pleats in my kilt before I sat down. I cried when she made me cut hair in a ‘pixie’ style. I refused to eat her lumpy burned gravy and it was decades before I ate parsnips again! (who boils them?) I was ungrateful, unmanageable, and ‘too moody for my own good’. Read more…
