In the last twenty-four hours, I opened three separate books to find the same message spoken differently. Has this ever happened to you? When something happens three times, a pattern has emerged. Pay attention! The pattern is a message from the Whisper.

Each message was a variation of the following quote by Eileen Caddy, the founder of the Findhorn Community in Scotland, known world-wide for growing an abundance of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and large plants in the worst possible conditions. (more…)

Have you ever wondered how nature continues to grow despite environmental conditions? You pull the weeds from your flower garden and trim the hedges, and a few days later you have to do it all over again. Something is destroyed by fire and you will soon see green growth peeping through the rubble. You just can’t hold mother-nature back! Doesn’t it appear that all of nature is programmed to thrive, to succeed, and to grow?

In a recent meditation, I heard a firm inner voice say to me “You were programmed for this since the beginning!” Programmed for what? ” (more…)

Have you ever had a feeling in your gut that stayed with you for a prolonged period and only got stronger over time? It’s happened to me numerously throughout my life, and it happened again recently. It was intense!

It started out as slight feeling in my solar plexus. At first, it was so subtle that I didn’t really notice it. It was more unconscious, or transparent, than apparent. About a week later, I was beginning to become consciously aware of it, and ten days later, I was experiencing full-blown restlessness and uneasiness.

With the intention to uncover the message behind the restlessness, I did what I always do. (more…)

I recently watched a video clip of an Oprah show. Oprah had a guest by the name of Randy Pause. He appeared to be in his forties, a successful man by worldly terms, with three young sons. Randy has terminal prostate cancer. The doctors tell him that he only has a few months to live. In fact, his attitude about dying was so inspiring that Oprah invited him to her show. She showed a most amazing clip of him giving his last speech to a class at Cambridge University.

If you haven’t seen it you’ll want to!

“Our brick walls are there to show us how much we want our dream.”

That is what Randy told the class. (more…)

Have you ever wondered if the mind, with its incessant stream of thoughts, ceases to think at the moment of death? I have. I wonder if we ever get free from our whirling mind. I am no expert about the after-life, so I cannot speak with certainty about that. (I have some beliefs about that, but I’ll spare you from them.)

How would anyone really know what happens after death, anyway? I suppose only those who have come back from the dead could tell us, right? But, I’m not even sure about that. The only thing I can know and speak honestly about is what I know right here, in the here and now. When my mind isn’t grieving the past or fearing the future, I am grounded in the present.

Years ago, my friend Byron Katie, along with couple of friends and I, were headed to a Houston prison to do a process she calls ‘The Work’. I was intrigued to discover that the prison was located smack dab in downtown Houston. Shouldn’t it be in the country, far away from civilization?

We entered the front doors of the prison, (more…)

Ugh! It was  my turn to write The Weekly Whisper (an online newletter that my co-author and I publish each week) and there was absolutely NO energy for it. In fact, I was totally uninspired and didn’t have even-an-ounce of motivation for it!  My self-talk went something like this. This is the only day I have to write TWW before the deadline. Are people actually reading this thing, anyway? Do they actually get value out of it? (more…)
