Getting to Global Wiring: And the Angel Said
A few weeks ago, at our first potluck in the aftermath of the ravaging fires, I had a spontaneous conversation in the kitchen here at Ner Shalom with two members of our congregation, in which I recounted my 1980 conversation with the great teacher and founder of the Jewish Renewal movement, Rabbi Zalman Schachter Shalomi, of great blessing. That conversation was a result of my recently having read a book which changed my thinking about what is for many Jews, certainly to many

Unlimited Possibilities
I have been an animal communicator, having meaningful conversations with other species, for many years. Some of these conversations changed my ideas about who animals are and what they think about. Many of them moved me to tears, opened my heart, and helped me embrace life more tenderly than I had been able to before. So I decided recently to share some of these conversations in a book. Today, I finished the first several short chapters, in which I described the method of com

Entering the Dance of Blessing
One of the most powerful downloads I received in past years was a transmission of instructions as facilitator of my local gathering to mark the Harmonic Convergence in 1987. I have wanted share it more broadly, but have not done so yet, embarrassed, frankly, to have let so much time go by. My embarrassment led me to rationalize that it could not possibly still be relevant. But that’s small thinking, and entirely dismisses the nature of eternity, our matrix. I asked about thi

No One is More Important Than The Beloved
As time went on in 1980, the downloads from my expanded consciousness were more focused, and I needed less and less to be aware of the mechanism. In honor of our upcoming day of love, here is a thread of transmissions, just as I received them, about love. 9/22/80 (The importance of love)
In affairs of the heart, no one is more important than the beloved. The beloved is not only the object of affection – the person who is loved, but is also the yearning inside to love, the sm

Into the Column of Light
I invite you to step with me into a column of light – if you’d like to say “an imaginary column of light” that’ll do just as well – serving as an axis on which our planet spins. This column of light is so bright, we cannot open our eyes while we are inside it, even with sunglasses. (If you want to really let go and be guided through this, give your eyes a break and just listen.) So we take a few steps back, and a few steps more, until it feels safe to open our eyes. So we do,

You ask about the significance of this day: a download on the day of Donald Trump 's inauguration
January 20, 2017. I sent up for guidance. This is what came: You ask about the significance of this day. The significance of any day is to offer opportunities to notice the flow, the details, and sounds and smells of what moves you, and then to spend the dreamless nights allowing the quilt to form itself to cover you with information head to toe, toe to head, each morsel filtering in to the locus of maximum usefulness. This particular day you ask about, that day of opening, t
