Women's Weight Loss
If you are a woman that wants to burn belly fat, you need a female fat loss workout, right? Seems pretty straight forward, but did you know that traditional cardio and high rep workouts are not the best female weight loss programs?Everyone's crunched for time these days, but nothing compares to being a mom. You work, you take care of the kids, and you still want to find time to get a great fat burning workout in over the day in as little time as possible.That's why I get very frustrated when I receive emails like this one describing archaic training programs. These cookie-cutter programs aren't efficient or even effective. Fortunately, I've included my exercise solution and a bonus butt-muscles workout below.The letter...Dear

rsonal self, growth, and cultivation. As if Spirit is some tool or possession to be manipulated by a personal ‘me’ to make me feel good. Actually, upon close inspection and sustained scrutiny (i.e. meditation/present moment awareness/clear seeing) this self that we mistakenly believe has a Spirit, is really a contraction IN Spirit, an expression BY Spirit, or a gesture OF Spirit. To say Spirit belongs to ‘you’ or ‘me’, is like saying the ocean belongs to the waves, the sun belongs to its light, or the sky belongs to the clouds. I don’t HAVE a Spirit; I am a unique expression OF Spi

Seek Engines: What If 'Seek' Had Bumped Out 'Search'?
In the early days of the World Wide Web, when things were just getting started many geek speak terms were jockeying for position to be the standards for years to come. I used to drive by a California-based company every day that had named itself YKK and think, "What a pity."Then I think what if the World Wide Web had lost out to the World Wide Subway System (WWSS) or some other less noble term? Then I take it one step further and think, "What if the term search had lost out to seek"? Let's think about this for a moment. Seek is a good word with a nearly identical meaning to search. In fact, in the Oxford American Dictionary (with the torn off cover and publishing info) it states that seek means "…to make a search or inquiry for, to try

While I do hope to avoid arguing the merits or validity of seeing ourselves as primarily and essentially wounded and on a lifelong quest for wholeness via healing, I would like to offer another perspective on wholeness that may disagree with and/or upset some. This perspective is pointed at by the Mystical Traditions of the East and West, and one in which we begin with the understanding of our innate and eternal perfection. This view could be summarized as:

We are distracted from our always already wholeness and limitlessness, by a fundamental mistaken identification with un-wholeness and limitation (ie the idea of ‘me’).

This paper is a brief attempt to do 2 things: First, to outline an alternative to the plethora of approaches that focus on wounded-ness, broken-ness, and healing towards wholeness, and instead offer a way of seeing ourselves as Beings beyond healing, always already whole and perfect. I see little offered regarding this way of seeing and being, and feel a call to voice another perspective of wholeness. Second, I hope to use words as skillful ‘pointers’ in an effort to help you see FROM this perspective. For that to happen these words must point beyond themselves, and also beyond the realm of healing, ‘you’ and ‘me’, and toward the ever-present wholeness that is completely here and now.

I wish no disrespect to those that offer their essential services as Healers, but much of what I hear passed off as ‘Spirituality’, is really egoic and bodily strengthening and fortification. It’s about feeling good and creating a bigger and healthier ‘me’. Spirituality does not necessarily make ‘you’ feel good or healthier. Spirituality makes the idea of ‘you’ transparent. While a certain amount of stability is desired prior to risking a move into the deeper realms of Spirituality, the notions of ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘mine’, ‘feeling good’, and ‘personal identity’ is of the realm of ego, which itself is but a ripple on the Great Ocean of Spirit. Spirit is about Truth (not ‘my’ truth), Reality (not ‘my’ reality), may or may not feel good, and is beyond (but includes) the personal identity of ‘me’.

These days I read and hear the use of many catch phrases such as ‘nurture your Spirit self’ and ‘grow your sacred Spirit’ and ‘heal your Spirit’, as if Spirit belongs to the realms of the personal self, growth, and cultivation. As if Spirit is some tool or possession to be manipulated by a personal ‘me’ to make me feel good. Actually, upon close inspection and sustained scrutiny (i.e. meditation/present moment awareness/clear seeing) this self that we mistakenly believe has a Spirit, is really a contraction IN Spirit, an expression BY Spirit, or a gesture OF Spirit.

Leadership Insights from the Apostle Paul
The Pauline letters were addressed to small groups of people that he knew by name (Timothy, Titus, and Philemon) as well as large audiences (Romans, Corinthians, Galatians). These letters provide insight into why leaders exist and what knowledge, skills, and abilities are important to leaders today. In each letter Paul attempts to answer questions about the ‘meaning of life’ such as sin (Romans 3:9), faith (Romans 3:22), marriage (Romans 7:2, 1 Corinthians 7), unity (1 Corinthians 1:10), spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12), and freedom (Galatians 5:17). After carefully dissecting Pauline letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Thessalonians, and Philemon I identified a set of characteristics that he viewed as being critical to the development of C

Mechanical Clocks
Mechanical Clocks are the next step in the evolution of clocks. As promised in the previous article, I’ll try and keep it as simple and enjoyable as possible. In order to do this, I will stop flapping my jaws and start writing...so here we go.People have not been very happy with the water clock measurements and tried to invent something more accurate than that. They twisted and turned their minds and came out with the all-mechanical clock. The idea behind the mechanical clock was to measure hours of equal length all year round.Around 1300, large mechanical clocks started to appear on public buildings in Italy. The clock was operated by the gravitational pull of weights which turned a set of gears and wheels. All this mechani

The idea of a whole ‘self’ is an oxymoron. This is because the ‘self’, by its very nature, is merely a contraction, expression, or gesture within the whole, and can never itself be the whole. You as a ‘me’ can never be whole, and trying to construct a whole ‘me’ is like trying to create a perfect mirage to quench your thirst. Mirages are meant to be playfully recognized as such then seen through, lest we become distracted and never drink the water we are neck-deep in! Chasing the fantasy of future wholeness is to project and chase an idea in time, and thereby miss the only moment wholeness will ever be found. That moment is happening now!

With all due respect to what many say, we can not heal our Life. Why? Simply because Life is not a symptom or illness to be healed. Life is not a problem to be solved or fixed. Our idea that it is a problem, IS the problem. Our fantasy of a sanitary and hygienic Life is itself a problem, and only serves to obscure and distract us from our true identity (Spirit), which is what we are by birthright. Our true identity is also beyond the need to heal.

Now with all that said, allow me to say that I have immense compassion for those that are suffering. I work on a Dual Diagnosis unit in a psychiatric hospital, and I am surrounded by tremendous suffering. Yes, there is useful (but not essential) healing to be done. As the wounded ‘me’ is healed, it no longer distracts us from our True Nature. Healing the ‘me’ may help us to see what is, and always was the case – Perfection!

But what are we then, if not shipwrecked and wounded on the shores of Life? Let me try to direct you to that answer by asking some questions. What is THAT, that is Aware of suffering? What is THAT, that is the silent empty space from which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences arise and fall? Look into Awareness right now, and try to find a boundary that defines your ‘self’, your ‘me’. Let me guarantee you, you will never find one. You will only ever find more ideas and fleeting experiences arising and falling in the limitless expanse of what you truly are. What you truly are IS freedom, IS peace, IS silence, IS wholeness by Nature. What you truly are IS what you have been looking for all along, but have been missing because you look for IT in a
