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 […]

Snow fell on Texas.  This isn’t a common occurrence and when it does happen it seems time stops just a little bit for those that are graced with its semi-annual presence.  Usually, in alternating years snow will sneak up on North Texas and give us a light dusting that becomes the talk of the community.  Instagram pages light up with pictures and text messages fly, “It’s snowing.”  There is something mystical about snow, especially when it is a rare episode.  Snow has this unique ability to bring people together in a state of joy.  Kids race outside to play and

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

Who Am I?

Such a profound question with seemingly a myriad of answers.  There are some sages who dug much deeper than the externals of the question and came away with answers that could very well break the code of the mysteries of the Universe.  The masters asked questions few of us consider however if we can understand what the Enlightened Ones did, we could very well live the life of harmony that they lived. Who is the witnessing consciousness?  What is the witnessing consciousness?  If we are able to—through one pointed focus of the mind—investigate “Who am I?” we can discover the
