First We Get A Glimpse

In every life there will be at least one moment when ongoing grind of daily life blinks – revealing the timeless harmony of existence. In that moment a glimpse of true being is revealed; without words, without action, without description. Those who know this moment recognize it always, even in these clumsy words. When the [...]

New Year’s Resolutions:

Certainly committing to health, prosperity and happiness is good. Yet, what happens along the way that turns New Year’s resolutions to dust? Is there a solution? 1. New Year’s Resolutions are futile. New Year’s resolutions fall apart due to the frustrations inherent in their pursuit. Pursuing personal goals often sets up a “no win” situation. [...]

The Communion of Saints

The “Communion of Saints” is a beautiful phrase that has seemed like something that occurs up in some more refined part of the universe – where choirs of angels spend their days singing Hallelujah! But it is actually much more available. During a recent visit with a friend with whom is shared an interest in [...]

Letting the Holidays Unfold

It seems clear in the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus that God functions outside the boundaries of conventional thinking. An illegtimate child is born in unsanitary conditions without social connections. What was God thinking? Perhaps the message from God is to appreciate the value of “letting be.” In the Christmas story the issues [...]

Angels

Angels we have heard on high. . . Angels have appeared to many of the Hebrew Prophets as well as to the shepherds of Bethlehem and to Mary, the mother of Jesus. But what are angels? and what do they mean to us today? In Metapsychiatry we recognize angels as messages(not messengers) from God. We [...]

Giving

This is the season of gift giving. When gifts are given and received there is often an underlying dynamic that boils down to the formula: Giving = Getting.

Rejoice in the joy that comes from understanding the spiritual meaning of the rituals, [...]

Transformation: Report from the annual PAGL Conference in NYC

Thank you Janice for requesting that the PAGL conference held this past Sunday in New York City be reviewed and summarized here. The topic for this year’s conference was Transformation. The call went out several months ago inviting essays that help us understand how the ideas and concepts of Metapsychiatry have resulted in transformations in [...]

The MetaView on Gates-Gate

The MetaView does not ask the question: “Why did these men go after each other,” nor does it ask “Who is to blame?” or “What should they have done?”

The MetaView asks the question: What does it mean that this incident triggered such intense national scrutiny, going immediately to the top of all news reports and dominating the national interest for several days, and continues to be the subject of essays and opinions?

Spiritual Economics

What’s the Problem? A very wise consultant to the health care industry shared with me a conversation he had with a hospital board of directors facing bankruptcy:  “What do you think caused the financial difficulties of the hospital?” he asked.  “The labor unions wanting too much, the doctors demands, and the patients who can’t pay [...]
