I can’t say that I’ve had a single new revelation in the last 35 years. I would attribute all of the content of my thinking and writing to a single epiphany in an instant of time…. an unforgettable moment. All the multilayered thought expressed in each of my blogs is merely an attempt at articulating … More Living in the Thunder

It will be a mark of maturity when people of faith no longer find it essential to use the word ‘belief’ or ‘believers’ in referencing their spiritual practice. Rather than talking about one’s beliefs, how much more enlightened to speak of one’s understanding. Beliefs are a conversation killer. Everyone has them and everyone is equally … More Caught up

But at times, it is exactly the other way around. So, discerning the Vox Dei demands discernment of … More Vox Dei

Instinctually, all mankind (not just Quantum Physicists) desire to penetrate the sheer curtain of matter to peer deeply into the organizing field of consciousness the Hebrews called BEING, personified always in the first person (the one seeing, hearing and speaking) and grounded in the present tense – I AM, and so as never to be … More THUNDER
