Our True Nature

The past two days I have been attending an online intensive with a group of dedicated individuals. Most individuals are dedicated to something. This group is dedicated to opening to awareness, also called “Pure Mind.” This particular series has been meeting weekly for the past year-and-a-half. Many of this group have been studying together for […]

Happy 2020

What a difference a day makes!

You have to appreciate how quickly life changes. One day it rains, the next day the sun is shining. Loved ones are with us in body, and then they are not. Health is here, gone tomorrow, back again the day after.

Each day is significant. The changing of […]

Half Empty or Half Full

It is Christmas. The meaning of Christmas differs to your origin, religion, or persuasion.

This Christmas I am especially aware of how important my persuasion or choice is.

Thiw is why when I got dressed this morning, I chose to put on my “choose to be joyous” t-shirt. Choosing to be joyous is […]

Keep Hope Alive

Yesterday at meditation we had some lively conversation. On the drive home, a Katey and I mentioned something we had both previously learned from Brugh Joy: Release the need to understand.

That idea is shared in his book, Joy’s Way: A Map for the Transformational Journey. An Introduction to the Potentials for Healing with […]

Life Itself

How each of us views life differs slightly, but the themes of life itself are universal.

Years and years ago I studied dream interpretation with a man who had trained at the C.G. Jung Institute. One aspect of dream meaning is to notice a theme that is emerging as an initiating dream.

Three […]

What Love Can Do

I could begin this article with an update on my SCS-Matters domain still being unavailable here on my home WiFi router, or that our underbelly of our mobile home is not yet insulated or ‘closed up’ as they call it and there is snow on the ground this morning, but I will instead […]

Grief and Relief: RIP Aunt Sharon

Tender emotions here…. Some of the emotions are frustration. I have spent the past two weeks without resolution to my WiFi/Domain not speaking to one another. Twenty three hours on hold with Comcast, Comcast, Comcast, and Bluehost.

Monday evening, Aunt Sharon Basham passed. I met with her family on Thursday evening, went to visitation […]

Bare Perception

At the time of this writing, I am still holding space for resolution with the issue of not having access to the SCS-Matters.com domain using my Comcast WiFi at home that began 10 days ago. This morning I was successful logging in using the unsecure Xfinity WiFi hotspot, and I am on my laptop at […]

Holy Hissy-fits

Holy hissy-fits, Batman, have I been navigating the sacred darkness this week!

Last Friday morning I realized I was not able to log onto the SCS website. I @$$sumed our website was just down for some reason so I sent a text message to Joel and to our webmaster, Rebecca. Rebecca responded that she […]

NOT Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

It is interesting where sayings come from that sit in our memory banks and shape our experiences without our noticing.

One such saying comes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries when two-story apartment houses sprung up during the manufacturing boom. Cheaply built, with identical floor plans on the first and second floor, […]
