As the winter nights while away and the dawn of spring approaches, I am left feeling contemplative.  The world’s wonderment lays before my eyes and I fundamentally understand that both beauty and chaos can be perceived by those very eyes.  I have come to understand it is I that must seek the very beauty that exists everywhere in the world.  In the face of the chaos, I must perceive the beauty because the beauty of the world has been ignored for far too long.  Too many of us find triumph in the defeat of others, pleasure in the pain of […]

I remember a time many years ago when I was much younger and far more prone to allow the outside world to affect me that I came to my father with something that was troubling me.  In hindsight, for the life of me, I cannot remember what was troubling me at the time however I will never forget the words that he imparted upon me.  When I told my father the dilemma I was facing, he simply sat and listened to me and then when he heard all of the details of my affair he quite succinctly said, “Son, this

“Build a Covenant.” Messages come during Sadhana.  It’s inevitable that when we quiet the mind nuggets of inspiration break through the silence demanding action. “Build a covenant.” This message poured into my soul and I wasn’t even certain exactly what it meant.  If truth be told, I had to look up the word “covenant” to even understand the meaning.  I learned the word covenant means “agreement.”  I understood even less what I was being instructed to do.  Build an agreement?  With whom? What would this agreement entail? Then, Adi asked me to join her with Siri Bahadur to do a meditation

The Age of Aquarius

The link between destruction and transformation is incredibly thin.  Oftentimes, it is simply perspective that defines that line and one person’s destruction truly is another person’s transformation.  The year 2020 was certainly that test for many of us.  A year that started with similar hopes as previous years was quickly replaced by a moment in time that none of us will soon forget.  Institutions began showing cracks and those most conscious among us began surveying the demise of what once was as it was replaced by an entirely new age.  The Age of Aquarius, which formally arrived around late 2011/early
