Reflections on Imaginal Practice — I recently sat a one-week meditation retreat in Devon. It was a deep and delicious dive into the meditation practices of ‘Soulmaking Dharma’ developed by teachers Rob Burbea and Catherine McGee at Gaia House. Three days into the retreat on a blustery autumn evening, we sat together in silence around…

Because it’s Here to Help Us — I’m scared to write this. And that’s how I know it’s probably a good idea to do so: because its going to contain some information that will help me — and you — survive. We desperately need to change our relationship with fear. Since the basic function of fear is…

The prophet gives his eyes and ears, that his god might see and hear. Thus he is made: blind and deaf to selfishness, sensitive only to the needs and desires of the whole. Of his god. The prophet gives his mouth, that his god might speak and sing upon the…

Join the Revolution — We are in a war on consciousness. A war for the soul of humanity. The fight to stay awake has never been harder.

Today I would like to share an invitation with you. It is an invitation to overturn some of our most basic assumptions about what the world is, where it came from, and why it is all happening — and to step into a far vaster and more incredible conception of…

Infinite Freedom of the Infinite (Meta-)Play — Join me, if you will, in entertaining a little story about reality. It goes like this: We are all characters in a play. The play is infinitely vast and exquisitely complex, ornate and beautiful — but it is still a play. It isn’t real. …

Birthing the Future Human — Creation was not made to be escaped. Reincarnation (for which we now have convincing evidence) is not a trap but a supremely intelligent process by which nature develops, evolves and refines individuals. This process “does not culminate in a spiritual awakening that liberates us from this planet, but in the…
