Last week, I had a discussion with someone concerning the October 1 blog. It wasn’t clear to him the reference that I was making to Jesus and his disciples and what that had to do with reincarnation. It occurred to me that maybe he wasn’t the only one. So let’s review it in the context […]
Healing Spiritually
In every scripture, there is talk of creating karma. Some scriptures might call it other things, such as sin or ill will. No matter which term is used, it basically means that every action we take has an effect on our present and future. We are experiencing things today because of deeds (or misdeeds) done […]
The Experience of Easter
I hope you were able to experience Jesus in your own personal way on Easter. This Easter has been an Inner Experience for me. On Easter Sunday morning, I sat in prayer and meditation, honoring the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Today, His teachings take on a whole different meaning than that which was taught […]
Honoring Our Intelligence: The Janitor and Jesus
In the August Ah-Man Newsletter, I began a discussion of Honoring Our Intelligence, focusing on the difference between Intellectual comprehension and Intuitive comprehension. This month in the Ah-Man Blog, I’ll continue the discussion. There is a story I heard that reminds me of Honoring Our Intelligence. The story was about a janitor of a church […]
Honoring Roots and Tradition
This blog post is a continuation of the topic that began in my May newsletter: Honoring Life. When we honor our roots and traditions, we are honoring our Mothers. Do you really think that you were placed in your family willy-nilly? Everything has a purpose. Now, we might not always know what that purpose is, […]
Winter Solstice
The winter solstice occurs exactly when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun. Winter solstice lasts only an instant in time. At that time, we experience the shortest day and longest night. But from that day onward until the Summer Solstice, each day gets longer and the night gets shorter. So even […]
Meditation
Wow. This is usually a very broad topic, but I’ll try to keep it focused on the main topic of this month’s newsletter: learning to walk in this world spiritually and not be overshadowed by it. The last couple of weeks, I talked about the ways that we are able to come to spiritual acceptance, […]
Christianity and The Divine Masculine
In honor of Father’s Day, the June issue of the Ah-Man Newsletter focuses on “The Divine Masculine.” In this month’s blog, I am sharing just a glimpse of what The Divine Masculine may look like. The Divine Masculine is a path of actions that brings results. So we do certain things, to achieve a particular […]
Sacrifice and Service
As I have discussed over the past few weeks, there are different ways of performing service. For example, there is environmentalism, as mentioned last week. Another way is humanitarianism…helping other living entities on the planet. There are so many people doing such important work on the planet today by helping others who are less fortunate. […]
Living from the Core of Our Being: From the Perspective of Hinduism, Judaism and Christianity
Just as a reminder, the topic for this month has been Suffering is an Option. And I have been using “spiritual” teachings from six main paths known to us to illustrate that they all teach us the same thing about suffering: that it is something we do not have to endure. There is a path. […]
