A question of how to release anger!
Anger: the canary in the coal mine I’ve said earlier why I do anger management. I am not an advocate of anger; rather I am skilled at its management. I also believe that there is little effective teaching in our society as to how to manage anger. Most of the time, we are told we should…

Why I do anger management
In one sense, this post is a digression on my current theme of visioning a mature society. But it also gets to the heart of the matter of how we are to get to this vision. For me, anger is the canary in the coal mine, and it has movement. First, what a blog offers…

Towards a mature culture?
I indicated in my last post that, for the present, I will focus on what I believe we need to move towards so as to have an effective world culture of maturity. To repeat what I wrote last time: “I believe that the single greatest need we currently have as a species is to become…

Recommendation: Confessions … CIA Agent
In keeping with my last post on the massacre at Orlando, I strongly recommend the Youtube video Confessions of a former covert CIA agent – Amaryllis Fox. She delineates the absolute need to know your “enemy” — he/she is human too. This was originally posted to my Facebook on 20160614.

Thoughts on the massacre at Orlando
I wish to comment of the massacre at Orlando, for a variety of reasons. First, I am deeply saddened, but not surprised by this occurrence, given the frequency of violations that occur in (but not exclusively in) “the land of the free.” Sadly as well, I am not surprised that Donald Trump would take advantage of…

The first came to me via an email from Avaaz; it quoted…

What has influenced my life? And yours? (Part 2 of 2)
I was asked: Who influenced you the most, in your own inner work, and how? I invite you you the reader to consider also what influenced you the most? This is part 2 of my answer. Important Books There have been many books (I read a lot), but a few stand out as truly adding…

What has influenced my life? And yours? (Part 1 of 2)
I was asked: Who influenced you the most, in your own inner work, and how? I’m choosing to answer this question in a more general way: What were the major influences on my life? I suggest this because I have been influenced by many sources; in parallel with this, I invite you the reader to…

Question: How do I change . . .? (Part 3 of 3)
Question: “How do I interrupt my pattern of saying “Be careful” to my son all the time? I am aware I’m saying it an awful lot” (Part 3 of 3). My final suggestion augments choice by increasing awareness; it is a suggestion that can be applied to any life pattern where the individual wants to…

Welcome #2
Hi. I am re-evaluating how I use this blog, and have decided to resume it in a variety of ways. I stopped posting (in every way) about two years ago, largely because I did not have a focus in my life as to how to proceed. However, I have remained deeply concerned about the issues of climate change,…
