House of cards, getting ready to fall

We don’t own our houses even if there is no mortgage. The government can take them away by eminent domain. If we fall behind in taxes, we lose our homes. If we don’t have enough money for inheritance taxes, our children don’t inherit the home or they have to sell it or they have to pay the taxes in order to “own” the property. We are bio-robots.  read more here

Dan Millman

Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior

I find Dan Millman’s books easy to read, but with some very powerful messages. He shows through Socrates “adventures” how spiritual growth can occur. He illustrates how growth is slow, challenging and frought with many obstacles.  read more here

We live in an angry society

I’ve been contemplating whether to acquiesce or resist the nagging feeling to write about the level and types of anger demonstrated at all strata of society. There is the philosophical saying that what you resist persists, so I’ve decided to list a few examples of the damage and stranglehold anger has on this society.

Carlos Castaneda

The Art of Dreaming

A few days after posting the UFO radio encounter tale, I wondered if I’d already posted all my most unusual experiences here.

Osho on Carlos Castaneda and His Guru Don Juan

Question – Is Carlos Castaneda’s Guru, Don Juan an Enlightened Master?
Osho – If there were someone like Don Juan he would be enlightened, he would be like a Buddha or a Lao Tzu — but there is nobody like Don Juan. Carlos Castaneda’s books are ninety-nine per cent fiction — beautiful, artful, but fiction. As there are scientific fictions, there are spiritual fictions also. There are third-rate spiritual fictions and first-rate ones: if you want third-rate, then read Lobsang Rampa; if you want first-rate, then read Carlos Castaneda. He is a great master — of fiction. read more here

Chuck’s Place: Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh Yes! Sorcerers & Witches & Shamans & Seers!

Words have power. Terms like sorcerers and witches conjure shady if not evil purpose. It was not until his final works that Carlos Castaneda decided to use the term “shaman” to describe his teacher, don Juan. Don Juan himself referred to his lineage as Seers. Seers are men and women of knowledge, who, through their unbending intent and ability to achieve inner silence, are capable of seeing energy as it flows in the universe. Read more here
