The Translucent View

This is the last post I write in 2011, before we enter cautiously into the most hyped year in human history: two thousand and twelve. Rather like the latest Star Wars film, or Harry Potter book, the anticipation builds us up into such a state of frenzy that we may have no choice but to [...]

I’m very pleased today to introduce you to an incredibly talented writer, and a very good friend. Neal Rogin has been involved in countless movie scripts, books and social and political action campaigns for many decades. He wrote the script for the “Awaken the Dreamer” movie for the Pachamama Alliance, and recently worked on the [...]

We’re four weeks into the current Awakening Coaching Training, and it’s been inspiring, gratifying, and deeply touching, to be sharing shifting consciousness with people from all over the world. Our participants this time come from Paraguay, Chile, Germany, Sweden, England, Canada, and all over the United States. Now here’s a wonderful little miracle that this [...]

The top news story today is that scientists at CERN, the Swiss organization which oversees the $10-billion Large Hadron Collider beneath the Swiss-French border, may have final proof for the “God Particle,” which would mysteriously and magically explain everything else in the Universe. It’s not quite right to call these infinitesimally small building blocks of [...]

Here is a practice from my book Leap Before You Look. Take some time to reflect: Who have you defined yourself to be? You can write your answers on paper, or practice with a friend, and ask your friend to make notes for you. I’m a plumber. I’m intelligent. I’m wealthy. I’m uneducated. I’m a [...]

So what’s the most beautiful word in the whole English language? Out of 470,000 words to choose from, which single word, combined with it’s meaning, is the most liberating, the most joyful, and offers the greatest hope for our future as a species? How about “antiestablishmentarianism?” Terrific for Scrabble scores, yes. But we can do [...]

There is a secret. The greatest secret. The ultimate secret. It is a secret not because it’s in any way restricted, or withheld, or kept private. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s more freely available to you than anything else. It is a secret rather like a modest looking little Italian restaurant tucked away [...]

Here is a passage from my book, “The Translucent Revolution”: When children grow, they pass through what are called, in psychological language, various developmental stages. It is actually quite interesting, if you’re a parent, to notice the bizarre nature of these developmental stages. There is the stage of being completely dependent—nursing, just holding the mother—and [...]

When I work with coaching clients one-on-one, we focus on several pivotal shifts in consciousness. One is to bring the attention from the endlessly changing stream of thoughts and fleeting feelings to becoming aware of awareness itself. Once you awaken to your true nature in this way, it is the foundation upon which everything else [...]
