Sacred Foothill
The Sacred Foothill
Becomes especially important
In wintertime
When the driving snow comes
And you can no longer see
The Sacred Mountain above
Small though it may be,
As one ascending
Out of the darkness
Toward the Light,
I need this foothold in sanity
To remain steady
In the whiteout of chaos
That is the world

An Artistic Meditation for Creating a New World (Video)
Something wonderful is transpiring. Something amazing, something truly uplifting. A new reality is being created out of the ashes of the old. How will you use your innate ability to visualize a new reality into being? What will be your gift, or gifts, to the world you help imagine?
Twenty & Twelve: Things that Won't & Will Happen in 2012
Here it is at last: 2012. The year so many have wondered so much about. The most anticipated solar cycle since Y2K.
Though I've written a lot about 2012 over the past decade, I consider myself a student, not an expert, on the subject.
Frankly, I wonder if there are experts on the subject. So I'm as eager as anyone to discover exactly what this year will bring.
Based on my study of current events in relation to 2012, below I present my best working predictions as to what won't and will go down over the next dozen months.
I'm not a lawyer or financial advisor, and don't play one on TV, so understand that my predictions are just that and shouldn't be taken as investment advice—or any kind of advice, for that matter.
Based on what a wild ride 2011 was, 2012 looks to be a year beyond anything any of us
Occupy with Unity Consciousness
Almost everyone I've spent any quality time conversing with in recent years has expressed or implied a desire to help create a better world—not just for certain individuals, groups or countries, but for human civilization as a whole.
At its core, the Occupy Wall Street movement has arisen from a similar desire, as anyone really listening to what so many of the protesters have to say should know.
Yet, using the time-honored technique of character assassination on a mass-stereotyping scale, many in the mainstream media have attempted to smear Occupy Wall Street as merely the expression of jealousy on the part of a ragtag bunch of have-nots: the 99% who envy the privileged lifestyle of the 1%.
Another diversionary tactic employed ...
Thoughts on the American Autumn
In February this year, in a blog post entitled 2011: The Year Kansas Goes Bye-bye, I wrote:
The timeframe around 2012 is not about global disaster, but global healing (which can involve some discomfort as toxins are expelled from the planetary body).
To the extent that 2011-13 is about 'apocalypse,' we must understand this word in its most literal, etymological sense as a period of 'revelation.'
And indeed, what is not being revealed these days—from the endemic fraud in our financial systems, to corruption at our highest governmental levels, to the genocidal and delusional intentions of a tiny group of individuals who consider themselves the Elites but, in reality, are about to get up close and personal with the medieval Wheel of Fortune?
At the time of pe...
Are We Zealots? Occupy This!
Sol Luckman
In an argument yesterday with a family member over the festering wound that is our country, the coming Untied States of America, I was, for the first time in my life, that I know of, called a zealot.
This epithet was launched in my direction on the heels of a discussion about free will and self-determinism, concepts which my liberal relative—let's call him Babbit—clearly felt to be out of style, old-fashioned, even a little naïve.
When I pressed the issue, arguing that no one should be forced to buy health insurance, for example, that it was unconstitutional, he replied, 'You know, the Constitution is really outdated.'
Now, while I enjoy a good time, I'm certainly not a Teabagger. And I can see plain as day&m...
Visualize: An Artistic Meditation for Creating a New World
Visualize your ability to visualize.
This is no small or laughing matter.
Your world, our world, depends upon it.
Literally.
Visualize your innate power of imagination to manifest the reality you desire.
2012: The Quickening of Awareness
Sol Luckman
You may or may not be conscious of the important fact that our planet and all her inhabitants are approaching a historical Galactic Alignment at the end of next year on or around December 21, 2012.
This powerful alignment with Galactic Center was first detailed in scholarly fashion by John Major Jenkins in MAYA COSMOGENESIS 2012: THE TRUE MEANING OF THE MAYA CALENDAR END-DATE, as well as in subsequent books by the same author.
This date, which I prefer to think of as indicating the center of a window of opportunity spanning at least 2011-13, may well mark the arrival of a 'galactic superwave,' to borrow a phrase from physicist Paul LaViolette, potentially capable of much damage to our electromagnetic grid.
But such a superwave, referred to in Vedic literature as the purifying and regenerative 'soma varta fire' (someti...
Spirits in the Material World
Sol Luckman
The tendency to view the human body as a machine, composed of matter and regulated biochemically, has become increasingly widespread since the dawn of Cartesian thinking in the 17th Century.This materialistic view flies in the face of so-called primitive ways of understanding our physical bodies, and the material realms in general, as merely bio-spiritual epiphenomena created and sustained by spiritual energy.
Fortunately, over the last several decades more and more thinkers have become disillusioned with the limitations and dangers of materialistic thought.
Guided by an inner knowing that such a restrictive mentality, divorced from meaning or purpos
First Breakdown, then Breakthrough
In the spirit of Carl Jung, I've been saying and writing for years that breakdown is a prerequisite for breakthrough (for example, here and here).
This is a universal truth, as far as I can tell, that operates both on the 'macro' and 'micro' scale. Or as the ancients said, 'As above, so below.'
Presently, lo and behold, as seen in the crumbling-in-real-time world economy, we're finally reaching the proverbial moment of breakdown.
Can you hear the sucking sound at the center of global finance? That's the cosmic vacuum cleaner come to suction up the mess that has become of our social systems.
This, on the heels of the bubbling up into public awareness of such epic levels of
