Before We Even Understand our Humanity … Transhumanism
“For four billion years, all of life was subject to the laws of natural selection and the laws of organic biochemistry. But this is now about to change. Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design. Not the intelligent...
Transmutation Ahead!
My dear friend, astrologer Emily Trinkhaus, says tomorrow's (Monday’s) Equinox marks a massive turning point. "Saturn has just shifted into Pisces for the first time since 1996," she says, "while Pluto is about to enter Aquarius for the first time since 1798. We’re...
The first time I saw hula performed I was standing under the enormous banyan tree shading the front yard of the old courthouse in Lahaina, watching dozens of traditional hula artists and students perform. I wept. Watching traditional hula was like getting hooked up to...
Kicking Unhealthy Habits
I don't know if you can relate, but I've struggled with excess on and off my whole life. Excess alcohol, excess cigarettes (thank God that habit got snuffed out 40 years ago or I'd be dead by now), excess sugar, excess pizza ... just plain excess in the consumption...

Finding the Source of Love
Is there a single soul amongst us who does not strive for love? And yet where on earth did we get the idea love was something we had to strive for? We're told it's readily available. That God loves us. That Jesus loves us. That "love is all there is." So why do so...
Vigil
I’m waiting for the water to boil to make my morning tea and my phone pings. It's a long text from a dear friend on the mainland—a poem she’s written about Russia and the Ukraine—tender words about being at peace and pouring milk and honey on wounds not ready to...
Stepping Stones
These are bizarre, turbulent, upsetting and, frankly, downright scary times. Humanity is at a turning point that has been a long time coming—a turning point all of us, consciously and unconsciously, having been dreaming into existence for thousands of years. The time...
