Psychedelics
With their growing popularity, and increasing legality - including many stage 3 trials with the FDA - now seems the appropriate time to share about psychedelics. My lawyer sagely encouraged me to remind everyone that I am not a medical professional and I encourage...
Indian Theft: An exploration of karma and sociopathy
The universe in March 2025 gave me a lesson to lessen some of my naivetes and optimisms, as well as a reminder to always “tether the camel”. I’ll be the first to admit I was reckless and inattentive, and got away very luckily in a situation that could’ve been much...
Ticking Away… The Moments…
“Never seem to find the time”“Time is on my side”“Time keeps on ticking, into the future” Many sayings about time, many thoughts about time, many issues about time ~ hey: maybe it’s about time 🙂 It is pretty rare to run across someone who has sincerely transcended...
BEYOND THE VICTIM-PERPETRATOR DYNAMIC, part 1
Soaring over the Atlantic at 30,000 feetThis 35th day into the Gregorian year 2025On my way to the largest gathering humanity has ever had (where I just heard a few dozen people were trampled to death at this Kumbh Mela)After a two-week circuit including a night on a...
Introducing: Omniaarchy
For years, I’ve been shouting from the rooftops to anyone who will listen: “Down with the patriarchy!” I deeply stand by the sentiment. As I become more and more aware of the systems in place of domination and subjugation, the revulsion increases. From the...
Holiday Opportunities
In the Judeo-Christian West (whose influence dominates throughout the world), there is a lot of emphasis placed on the last few weeks of December and beginning of January. Christmas and Hanukkah fervor sweeps through America (where the author has most experience this...
A REVOLUTION OF NON-VIOLENCE
A dear friend was visiting me at my Santa Monica apartment early summer of 2019. We were each working through massive life upheavals and being of great support to each other. Toward the end of her stay she mentioned this Nonviolent Communication thing she’d heard of,...
ON DISSOCIATION
Curious about the sensations of being spaced out, feeling foggy, or having difficulty focusing? At what point does daydreaming become a psychological condition? When should we seek help for our tendency to be hyper-focused, as we get “lost in our thoughts”? Shortly...
CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING
Can’t remember when I first encountered the term – quite a number of years ago. In spring of 2019 - the 4th breakup with KarunaDera - I was devastated. Crushed. I did something I’ve never done before: read a book back-to-back 4 or 5 times consecutively. “Conscious...
WHAT’S IN A NAME, Part 2
It was shortly after my arrival in Los Angeles in 1998 that a friend and I were talking about name changes (aside from the tradition at marriage). He was very seriously contemplating legally changing his name, and it seemed unnecessary and like a lot of work to me; I...
INVOCATIONS
Before every offering, we Invoke, which is defined as: — the act of calling upon a deity, spirit, etc., for aid, protection, inspiration, or the like; supplication. — any petitioning or supplication for help or aid. — a form of prayer invoking God’s presence,...
Linguistic Disclaimers
Let’s start off with a contradiction (one part of true spiritual life is embracing the contradictory nature of the majority of this existence. Nothing remains constant here. Or permanent. From a high enough perspective, just about everything gets blurry. Those who...
What’s In A Name
Both KarunaDera and Prasad have gone through multiple names in this lifetime. There is a significance and importance to how we identify ourselves and present in the world. For example, if you name your daughter Ellen or Hillary, she will have a very different...

EXCHANGE, PART 2: CONDITIONINGS & VALUE
It’s first important to note that America is a society that revolves around and is highly influenced by money and consumption -- and it has exported this materialistic obsession throughout the majority of the world. The American Dream proclaims “He/she who dies with...
Exchange, Part 1: Overview
We are in a universe that is based upon exchange (yes, there are realms beyond/without exchange, but that is outside the scope of this article). For simplicity, let’s define exchange as the flow of energy between beings. As relational beings, we are constantly giving...
WHY 6:25am on 13 March 2021
The influence of the sun, moon, planets and other astronomical forces on us is undeniable. We need only look at the tides from the moon, or have sympathy for someone with a strong sunburn, for basic proof. Everyone has had (and will have more) “off days”, and has had...
Birthing Process
In this manifestation plane that includes space and time, we all have our beginnings… How many times in a life is one invited to the initiation of a new worldwide spiritual venture? What a rarity -- what an opportunity. After weeks of contemplation on how to discuss...
