I have been quite the spiritual vagabond, thought I had heard it all, but I got some real eye opening hits from this trilogy:
The Abide Guide, The Dude De Ching, and The Dude and the Zen Master.
Observations like: "That's just, like, your opinion man!" can be so liberating and empowering.  In this society that is fixated on judgment and punishment, it is such a relief to realize that, just another opinion, is all that it is.  Often, it is just your opinion about their opinion (opinions about opinions!) that is causing you so much unnecessary grief!
And when he asserts that, OF COURSE, he is living in the past.  One cannot avoid it!  Society is living in the past.  People are exclusively, universally, living in the past, dealing with stuff that has already happened!  The more you think about that, the truer it gets, on so many levels.
And I must mention the Christ like metaphysical metaphor that so accurately describes our predicament:
We are all "like little children who have wandered into the middle of a movie."  Wow.  Ain't it the truth, an observation that is priceless,
or at least worth $9.99.  Where's the money?!  Buy this book!

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

This book was right on time!  As my life is shifting in ways that 'I never planned', I now see this is all a very natural part of life.  I'm excited for the future!  The author explains the same concept multiple ways - that took a bit of getting used to but it was well worth it!  2nd part of life...I'm 'falling upward' to you!

This is my third trip with Paul Evancoe.  Needless to say, I definately would make a fourth!  The book starts out slowly...there are many people, plots and actions the writer is introducing the reader to.  Around page 50, all hell breaks loose and the trip takes a turn through the dark and deadly world of Operators and their lifestyles.  You will not be able to put this book down...I guarantee that!  Read it for yourself and enter the story as a real participant.  Come on Paul, bring up another!  Thanks for the great read!

Short and sweet, they maintain progress yet solidly hint at the past. They move the progressive boundary forward, yet deliver wide accessibility. They continue to produce meaningful material with new dynamics and directions. This one grows on you fast and is superior in sound to the last release, but is LOUD (not a bad thing)! Is it just me or is James LaBrie's voice just getting stronger with age? Just another fantastic release from DT! Congratulations guys!! See you on tour for sure!

Yay, Diderot!

Man, I had no idea that Denis Diderot played such a central part in the Enlightenment!  Yes, of course I knew he edited the Encyclopedia and wrote several plays and novellas.  But Philipp Blom brought Denis Diderot (and so many other mid-18C philosophers) to life.  There was so much more to Diderot than I ever knew.

Blom provides the drama behind the ideas.  This book, more than any other on the 18C, made me appreciate so much what these men (and a few women) did to make the world a little bit more humane, rational and secular.  What we owe to these individuals who were willing to face the Bastille (or worse) is equal to those who daringly signed the Declaration of Independence.

Yay, Diderot!  And Yay, Philipp Blomm, who told this story with genuine passion.

I loved It!  :-)

The average human being walks this planet in a daze, unaware that there is much more to this world than meets the eye. Still, that a change of direction is greatly needed is obvious to most. Our socio-economic system is failing.
In her book, Ms. Frighetti is making us aware that 2012 is a pivotal year: it marks the beginning of the era of the Fifth Sun (to the Mayans), which portends a change of consciousness in humanity, evolution. She also makes us aware of other cultures with similar prophesies. And, she is also trying to make us understand that to change our direction, our effort is required: "The choices we make now will help to write the next chapter in humanity's story." Indeed!
Ms Frighetti also tries to make us aware that everything is energy in flow. I enjoyed her visit to the Montana vortex and the House of Mystery, where the energy of the vortex affected her perception, and altered the growth of plants and trees around. Interesting pictures!
This book is delivering a timely message.

Like the 1st book, I very much enjoyed this one as well.  Those who underwent Chrysalis are now hatching with unexpected results!  While the personality and knowledge are intact, they have mental powers that can control or affect others moods, they now like plants eat sunshine via photosynthesis, are green and also short!

Those who guarded the pods (deemed The Originals) are now starting to enter into Chrysalis!  These viruses are not done yet, as Dr. Hogan seems to know these are more changes to come of all humans!

Very interesting read, and too lends one to think (me anyway) is this Earths way of saving itself of the damage caused by man?  Change man into a completely different organism so the world can in fact....heal?

The ending as is can be the ending of this story, thus leaving us all to come to our own conclusions, -or- maybe there might be a book 3 I. The future?  I hope so!!!  :-)))))

To quote Christopher Walken, "Wow. Wowie wow wow wow!" What a great little find. Stumbled over this one last week and I'm stuck! What an interesting sound and some great little tunes. Fantastic harmonies! I've been shuffling around and humming "Single-Digit Highway" and "Five Bags of Poison" all week.

And they've got a previous album too! Looking forward to their future efforts. Now I just gotta find a way to get over to St. Louis to see 'em live.

In a day and age where we are never without noise, time constraints and overwhelmingly crazy schedules, this is a lighthouse in the storm.  It is not an easy answer, but it is the only true answer, the only path to freedom from The Tyranny of the Urgent!

Paul is gone...oh well!  This is the momentum that ministry needed, returning to a more streamlined attack. This album is absolutley flawless.  Who would of thought a return to form could be acheived after all this time.  Despite what most naysayers claim about their last three albums, they were challenging and interesting, just not on par with what we expect from Al.  Here it is all wrapped p and ready, structure is much improved, subject matter is more varied, but above all this album is bone-crushing in it's approach.  From the intro track of "No W", it's clear that Al is pissed again, and God bless him for it.  Listen to "World" and go vote...it's timedon't miss "Psalm 23" and the last hidden track, bringing the cd to 11 tracks in all...bon appetite!

Here is a sequel that is actually an improvement of the original!  Concisely written with marvelous insight for everyone, not just environmentalists.  This is the movement we all need to join; it is for everyone.

In the churches I have served as a United Church of Christ pastor I have most often found a political divide.

Ken Howard's book, Paradoxy, takes us beyond gridlock and dualistic thinking to appreciating paradox and mystery. It moves us beyond red and blue states to a broader, more nuanced vision. Here are some of my favorite sentences from the book:

"I count among my circle of Christian friends both tolerant conservatives and biblically rigorous liberals."

"How much we need the insights of those who disagree with us."

"An incarnational orthodoxy (is) anchored in the love of Christ (not dogma in the traditional sense of the word)." The parenthesis are my own.

Through different means Ken Howard arrives at the same truth that I have discovered.... If we want the Right or Left to be totally right or America to be perfect or our religion to be the only way, we're incapable of deep truth.

I highly recommend this book!

Confirmed what I believe. God's way is the best and right way.
