Many different teachers have come to me in many different forms or guises, sometimes remaining in my life for years and years, other times only for a few moments. I have learned from people, animals, plants, supposedly inanimate objects, and the universe. You probably get the idea that I’m not big on the One-and-Only Teacher […]

When I was in my early 20’s I worked in a research lab where I met a man named Elmer, the most unique inventor I have ever known.

If “Where is the toilet?” is the question most often asked by all human beings in all times, everywhere, then the second most popular question must be “Why are we here?” Not “here” looking for a toilet but ”here” on this planet looking for meaning in our lives. I do believe I have come upon […]

Whose reality is it, anyway?” ~Two-Bit Guru I recently linked to a web site that randomly sticks words from Deepak Chopra’s Twitter stream together to create fictional quotes. The idea is that Deepak’s actual thoughts and tweets might be indistinguishable from a meaningless group of profound-sounding words. There’s even a drop down quiz challenging the […]
