newsletter

So, dear friends,

I've been thinking a lot about the newsletter I want to create. And what I'm struggling with is that I want it to be interactive, and entertaining, and about LIFE!

I want to talk about great movies and television shows that are worth watching from a spiritual perspective, and to share spiritual insights and stories.... and provide the modern spiritual person with information to help them navigate this crazy world we call life.

It seems to me that there's a lot of talk out there about removing ourselves from life- avoiding television, certain foods, a lot of discusson about avoidance. And I want to write and publish things that celebrate our day to day existance. I want to say "yes it's ok to watch television- and here's ways to celebrate your viewing expereince and honour yourself with really positive and intelligent and thought provoking entertainment.

I want to write about how it's ok to be a shaman- to embrace guided quests for the innter self using drugs- and how to do that safely.

I want to write about my own stories and incredible people who I care deeply for and how have been amazing teachers.

I also want to write about sex- and how powerful sex can be and what an amazing spiritual and uplifting experience it can be.

These are things my friends, that a lot of us try to walk around, or pretend that they don't exist. We talk aobut the spirit- but our bodies need care, and need to be surounded by experience that promote and bring out joy in us.

This eartly plane is not someting to be escaped and run away from- but something to embrace and enjoy and laugh and love and live in. And we are surrounded believe it or not, by some incredible visionaries and visions and teachings that can help us walk the line between matter and spirit.

That is the struggle for many of us, isn't it? To know the line between self indulgance and self worth- to understand the truth of ourselves while knowing that there is a whole world out there of different truths.

We must connect ourselves- connect the body and the spirit though the heart. Not get caught up in the purely intellectual and spiritual aspects of experience, but allow the physical and allow the energies of our grounded bodies to lead us. And only through the heart- through connecting directly into our hearts and letting our deepest self guide us, do we truly understand the nature of our selves.
