Today my spirituality is taking me down a political road. A Human Bill of Rights and Responsibilities has been rolling around in my mind the past few days – a spiritually-based statement that acknowledges the importance of basic human needs and our personal role in ensuring their availability for everyone. But before we get to that list of rights and responsibilities below, let’s consider other attempts to outline our “rights”….. Read the rest of this entry »
Evolution to Oneness
I have not written an article here on Conscious Bridge in a while. There’s a reason for that. All of my creative writing ability has been directed towards finishing the book I’ve been writing. I finished the first version last December. I shared it with a few people, received some minor suggestions and then received an intuitive message that I needed to do a major rewrite. I listened to that internal guidance.
I changed the focus of the book. I changed the title. I dropped whole chapters. I reordered and edited others. New material was created. I reedited and reedited. Every time I reread the book, I felt the need to tweak it a bit more. This process kept me from writing and posting blogs here. Read the rest of this entry »
I am excited to be heading to New Orleans this weekend as part of the annual Spiritual Living Conference. It’s an exciting time and an historic moment as the two organizations that teach the Ernest Holmes’ Science of Mind and Spirit philosophy take the next major step in their integration. Last year they voted to reunite after over 50 years of being apart. When do you ever hear about groups splitting apart and then coming back together?
This week, the two groups become one. During the past year much has been done to create the structure of the organization—pulling from each of the current groups the best ideas, the best processes, to create a new way of being together. I have been honored to have been involved with a lot of this. When we leave Louisiana, we will have Read the rest of this entry »
When I was young, I was not a bully. In fact, I was probably the anti-bully. I spent my time either trying to be invisible so as not to attract the attention of bullies or I served as an appeaser, someone trying to smooth things out to prevent conflict.
Michael Adelberg and I worked together at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – he in the DC area, myself from Denver. I retired from the government a few years ago to pursue my spiritual teaching. Mike continues on in what he describes as his “health policy wonk” role but he’s pursuing a broader path as well. In addition to authoring historical pieces, he’s now published his first work of fiction – A Thinking Man’s Bully. Read the rest of this entry »
Everything is connected – everything – and art and life bob and weave in a wild dance together in that great amalgamation of all that is. So who influences whom in this interplay? Over 100 years ago, Oscar Wilde wrote “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life”. Yet, if you stop to think about it, it’s easy to see how art influences life and then our lives influence our arts – on and on in a continuous circle such that if we try to say “life imitates art” we stop briefly and ask ourselves “is that how that quote goes?”. Go Google the phrase and some of the top search returns are asking that same very question. Read the rest of this entry »
What good news are you bringing to your life and to the world in 2012? Have you set your vision for the upcoming year? Are you going to live your life purpose more fully and with passion as we move into this final year of the Mayan calendar?
The world really is full of good news if you set your intentions on seeing it—-here are some life affirming stories that came into my awareness recently: Read the rest of this entry »
Tim Tebow has sure fired up the Denver Broncos and at the same time ignited a firestorm of response to his unorthodox style of play and his Orthodox display of Christian faith. Tebow has become a flashpoint for supporters and attackers to clash over in our ongoing culture wars. It’s a fascinating story to watch. I keep wondering what greater understanding is coming out of this debate for us all. Here are some thoughts on that subject – Read the rest of this entry »

It’s only natural that “Conscious Bridge”, a website which is about the evolution of our consciousness, would itself evolve. Today, I am making a couple of major changes.
As a web site, we’ve been around almost 2 years, but for the last 2 months I have not posted any articles. It’s not because I haven’t been writing! I have been working on a book which deals with a lot of the themes covered on the “bridge”, but more on that at another time. I will only say that my writing focus has been ”the book” and not the web site. But the first draft of ”the book” is done as of a week ago and as I move into the editing process with it…..so today, the web site returns!….but it’s evolving… just as you and I are every day.
The first change—a new simple look—minimalist in appearance. This will be easier for y’all to read. This will be easier for me to post content. Take a look, let me know what you think…I’m still playing with it… Read the rest of this entry »
Today is the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Today my heart and prayers are with those who lost friends and family members on that tragic day.
Much has changed in our world since that day….there are aspects of life where humanity has come together in its love and concern for one another……and, there are many things that we may not have chosen to experience as a part of modern 21st century life ….but even in those experiences we can affirm Read the rest of this entry »
