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…

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…

Blogs I Follow: Richard Rohr
As you will note under Blogs I Follow, I subscribe to the blog of Richard Rohr at Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC). I do so because I find him to be the most spiritually mature individual of whom I am aware. (Overall my previous mentors, listed in my most recent post, also fall into…

What Limits Me? (Part 2 of 3: What can one person do?)
The second limitation that I struggle with (see my previous post for the first) is the question of: What can one (more) person (me) do? We live in a very complex world that, in the space of my lifetime, has become a global village. As I look around, I am aware that large numbers of…

What Limits Me (Part 1 of 3)
Hi to all. A question to you, the reader. What limits you in your ability to make changes in your life, or your world? I want to take the next few postings to explore what I am attempting to do here, with these postings. I strongly believe that we need a more mature culture (an…

What Are The Rules That Run You?
I frequently look around at my culture and wonder how have we gotten to this point of insanity. We are on the brink of collapse as a civilization, if not as a species, and yet there is so little surface evidence of this. When I dig, there is lots of evidence. Two recent emails posts…

The Problem of Visioning
Having a vision is a problem! There are, unfortunately, multiple problems with having a vision. Earlier, I mentioned three phases to an effective vision. First, an emotionally rich, multi-sensory vision. How to achieve this? Whenever I analyze a problem, and create a detailed statement or list of how I should respond or what others should…
