Separate from relationship, it is as if we did not exist, or more accurately, we would be nothing but pure potential. it is relationship that calls the potential into form. Human beings are creatures of relationship. Separate from relationship, it is as if we did not exist, or more accurately, we would be nothing but pure potential. it is relationship that calls the potential into form. Despite the fact that the forms themselves seem stunningly varied and even polar opposites, all forms emerge fro that same infinite pool of potential. This essential oneness is the basis for establishing the harmonious flow between all the opposites. As long as there is a natural flow between the amazing opposites that make up the natural world or form (and the cosmos of everything) we live in blissful harmony. But when that natural flow is disturbed, we suffer. There is no relationship more defining for us individually and as a society at large as the relationship between woman and man. It is universal, a factor of all life and it is the foundation for everything else in human life and relationship. Isn't it amazing that the primary relationship, which has the potential for the most astounding rapture, is the most troubled and the cause of untold suffering. We can't go back to the order of nature that was the rule during our time as hunter/gatherers. A time when our physical nature and the need to survive called all the shots. Neither can we go back to the oppression of patriarchy a system divorced from the natural world. We have had 12 thousand years of everything sacred being regarded as a possession and/or a commodity to be exploited. We Need: A whole New Story of Love A Great Union or perhaps a Great Reunion A Restoration of the Balance of our own complimentary natures even though the traditional or survival driven definitions no longer apply To Recover the Essence from which we both emerged, two bodies for the same soul, two aspects of the same consciousness, two faces of the same God This is not nearly as hard as it seems but it will take a whole new level of courage, compassion and a willingness to look at ourselves in the most honest and loving way. This, and this alone will transform our world in the the paradise we all know deep in our hearts it can be.

Yet, we normally don't realize how deeply this cultural deconstruction is penetrating us. One of the areas that has been deeply affected by all that has been happening over the last 75 years, is the relationship between the genders. And that relationship becoming increasingly unstable because the entire definition of Woman and Man has been completely altered forever. In out next show we are going to take up this subject that is one of the foundations for a civilized existence. In specific we will look at Woman's Power: What it is Where it went How to retrieve it There is a seismic shift taking place. Civilization, for all of its technological advancements over the millennia, has yet to conquer its own inner space. And this is reflected most obviously in the imbalance between the masculine and the feminine. We all know that, when things get out of balance, when one side or another dominates, that things go terribly wrong. And they have. But things can be put right. And that requires a restoring of the balance. And that requires women to awaken to and exercise their innate power.

OM 017 - The Problem IS the Solution

The obstacle IS the path." - Zen Saying What is a problem now was once a solution. All existence is a flow, a constantly morphing kaleidoscope, moving seamlessly from one form into another. Where one "thing" ends and another "thing" begins is utterly impossible to determine. Everything is a flow! That is why we named the show, "The Flow." This applies to every aspect of life, from the most esoteric to the most mundane. It even applies to money and the whole idea of wealth. The quality of our life experience doesn't appear in a vacuum. There is never a perfect set of circumstances that allow for the ideal thing to happen. Life is way more messy than that. The moment a choice is made a trajectory is set in motion. Even a tiny, seemingly insignificant decision can cascade into a totally different life than you had planned or maybe even wanted. And yet, it may have been the best (or perhaps the only) option available. The perfect solution in this moment, becomes a life altering problem in the next I know you are not going to like hearing this but, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. This is simply the way it is. We love living under the illusion that we are the captains of our destiny, but that is totally delusional. We are the participants in a vast cosmic dance. So you might as well learn the steps. What to do then? Simple: Harmonize with the flow Let go of the idea that you can control the destiny of life Be open to the utter mystery of it Embrace the surprises Grieve the losses Learn to dance Love the journey That is all you can do and is all you need to live a perpetually happy life now and be open to the next when it comes.

OM 016 - The Tao of Money - When Is Enough Enough

That is why we named the show, "The Flow." This applies to every aspect of life, from the most esoteric to the most mundane. It even applies to money and the whole idea of wealth. The simplest definition fo wealth is a surplus, more than you need, an abundance. The problem we face in our modern world is simple, "What do I actually need?" and "When is enough enough?" Before those questions can be answered though, we have to understand what money is and what it means to our particular culture. This is way easier said a done. Like everything else money is subject to the law of the Tao, the law of flow. There are few subjects as full of mixed messages, contradictory values, personal attachments and self-identification as money. Money, wealth and all those images and popular beliefs about the wealthy are all archetypal in nature. By that I mean, these images are universal to the culture but, simultaneously, the meaning of them is an often a confused mix of the overall culture, the various subcultures and then the personal mythology of the individual. Yes, it is very subtle and complex, which is what makes it so damn hard to unravel. So, how do we know when enough is enough? The answer is simple in theory, but very difficult in practice. We have to discern what, if any, of all out desires are really, naturally ours, and what are impositions of the culture The desires that are conditioned into us by the culture will always be unsatisfying. That subtle feeling of satisfaction that we all feel, is the indicator, telling you that are not in touch with your true desires but are being motivated by the culture as a whole. In this case, as is almost always true, your intuitive sense that "something is off" is your most trustworthy guide. I will leave you with this thought. Our current modern society substitutes money for that which has real, inherent value. So what has real value? What is the genuine currency of a truly fulfilled life? This is a profound discovery we all must make for ourselves.

OM 015 - The Trickster God - When Life Just Doesn't Cooperate

Well, oftentimes it is a cruel joke, the humor of which totally escapes you. In mythology the Trickster holds a unique place in the constellation of gods or archetypes.But there isn't some mischievous super being up there somewhere taking great pleasure in thwarting your best efforts. The Trickster is a reminder that it is we who need to harmonize with life. Life is under no obligation to conform to our wishes. But, despite the fact that we would prefer everything to fall into lockstep with our preferences, there is a deep wisdom in the Trickster. This archetype of life is the invitation (or more often the offer you can't refuse) to step out of your comfort zone. And what lies outside of the narrow boundaries of our comfort? Nothing less than your creative genius. Do you want more out of life? Do you want to step into a bigger role? Do you want to make a bigger difference? Then you have to become more. But, we cannot become more on our own. The force of our love of creature comforts is simply too powerful. To become more then, you have to allow life to put you into circumstances that will bring that about the evolutionary leap that you seek. The Trickster is actually your best friend but, to our preference for ease, it appears to be exactly the opposite. He is quite tricky after all and Tricky Dick can show up as: A lost job A broken relationship A failed business An investment that goes south A scammer taking advantage of you Any number of unpleasant setbacks and failures Anything that causes you to take stock of things and reach for resources you would have otherwise known that you had All that is required to transform the Trickster into the Bestower of Boons is a willingness to lay aside your ideas as to how things should be and let yourself become open to your potential. Zen mind is beginner's mind. This is easier said than done for sure. We have been trained to remain small and powerless. But the Trickster God has no intention of allowing you to be less than you are. And, deep down, you know that is what you want. So bring on the tricks!
