The must be something more
The journey began nearly three decades ago as an idea – “there must be something more.”
And so, it began with one idea and a step, albeit a small step – to search. I wouldn’t run away or drown myself in drugs, alcohol, or sex – or even over correct by leaning too far to the right or the left.
Honestly, I really didn’t understand what to do – something was wrong, something was very wrong.
Life was not working out. Later the understanding became clear – the editorial self – that idea you “sell others” – was out of control. The unconscious had consumed nearly every aspect of existence.
Outside – I was getting by; however inside – I hated it all.
And then it got worse. Much worse.
So, began the The Journey on the Mindful Pathway.

The editorial-self
A close friend and partner used this term years ago: editorial self. And at once I understood, a brief flash of light. The editors-self is the you that everyone sees as you navigate your day. It's the you at home with your partner or rather who you...
Nothing New
Everything I’m going to say in this blog is not new. It has been said before in nearly every culture and religion, and in every way humanly possible. If there is any “new” message it might be this: it is easier to seek, than to practice. I, and...
