A Guide to the 5 Levels of Consciousness

It wasn’t long ago that I came upon Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness.  The Map of Consciousness Scale was created by Dr. Hawkins, a psychiatrist, who experienced several life-altering events throughout his life.  Following each event, he noticed a change in his state of consciousness from a lower frequency ego-based focus to a higher state of love bliss where he felt constantly connected. The experiences prompted him to pursue understanding how and why the changes occurred and how his discoveries may assist humankind to “address the causes of the endless stream of spiritual distress and human suffering”. The Map …

Song of the Cicada

The morning arrived early; we have a busy day ahead.  Adi and I got up before 5 am because we are heading to Austin today for the premiere of her uncle’s film, Song of the Cicada, at the Austin Film Festival (more on this in a bit).  I had an hour to do my Sadhana […]

The Wonders of Embracing Simplicity…

The Simple Things That Make Life Enchanting Adi and I have been talking a lot lately about the wonders of embracing simplicity.  We awoke early today and were out the door to our favorite coffeeshop by 6:30 am.  Quite a few mornings, Adi and I go to the Flying Squirrel to grab a morning cup of coffee and to do some work. Oftentimes, this is where I do my writing. We discovered this shop in 2021 after we returned from a long stint in Costa Rica.  We went to Costa Rica after thinking we may want to move there; we …

Peaceful, Easy Feeling…

People ask me all the time:  What is enlightenment and how can I achieve it?  Enlightenment seems like a hustle to me.  It seems to be an idea that makes a lot of people unhappy.  How can I become enlightened?   It appears to me to be an achievement that no one fully realizes. I think […]

I Met A Soul Today…

I met a soul today… Whose light was so bright; it illuminated the night. I met a soul today… Who reminded me of home and I knew, I could never feel alone. I met a soul today… That whom I feared had passed; I rediscovered once again, at last. I met a soul today… The […]

Savannah, Georgia, On My Mind…

Savannah has an intrinsic charm to her.  There is an underlying ghostliness to the city that gives birth to artistic expression.  It’s difficult to put a finger on what exactly it is; maybe it’s the moss dripping from the trees making it appear like the trees are weeping; maybe it’s the cobblestone streets that feels […]
