Consciousness – Reality

Fifty Years of Memory and Meaning I recently celebrated America’s 250th anniversary in Larkspur, California. Fifty years ago, I was sitting beside the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., proud to be an American. It was a joyful celebration as fireworks lit up the sky, and the nearby cherry blossoms added to the beauty of the […]

Star of Light – Only Truth

A single bright star radiating golden light above a calm horizon, symbolizing energy and consciousness

The Star of Light is a passive educational philosophy. There is no hype, only the study of energy. Our focus is the energy that exists within each of us and how it influences our lives. We define spirituality as the wise use of energy for health, happiness, and well-being. At its core, the Star of […]

One Love – You Are on Your Own

When it comes to your health, you are often on your own. The God of Energy The God of religion is, in many ways, a reflection of what each religion believes. In the Star of Light philosophy, the true God is the God of Energy, because everything is energy. Ultimately, that energy is what we […]

One Love – Jesus Really Stands for Consciousness

I watched a YouTube video last week suggesting that Jesus preached consciousness rather than organized religion. That idea stayed with me for quite a while because it raised many overlapping questions. What Jesus Actually Taught Jesus was a Jew who taught the principles of the Torah. Later, the Council of Nicaea attributed many divine qualities […]

One Love – The Harmonic Convergence Reality

A podcaster approached me last week and asked if I would participate in a joint podcast about the significance of the Harmonic Convergence, which took place on August 17, 1987, nearly four decades ago. Gathering on the Sacred Mountains To us, the Harmonic Convergence marked the beginning of the Star of Light. It was a […]

One Love – Be Thankful for the Memories and Moments

I was reading on Facebook about a dear friend whose sister had passed away, and her response really made me think. She said she was thankful for the good times they had together. Since life is short and often doesn’t seem to have obvious meaning, that response feels very grounded. The challenge is that we […]

One Love – Service

Eighty percent of the people in the world are service providers. Their job, purpose, or calling is to help others. What does that tell you? If you want to get through life, you need people who are willing to help. We were discussing this the other day and realized how many people in our lives […]

Consciousness – Slip Sliding Away

When I was growing up, I loved a song by Paul Simon called Slip Slidin’ Away. In my youth, it felt like a catchy tune about life’s tendency to drift off course just as you think you are arriving somewhere. I didn’t think much of it then. But hearing it again later in life, now […]

Spirituality – Breathing

Everyone breathes, but how you breathe can make a significant difference. From an energetic perspective, there are said to be three primary energy channels in the body: one connected to the right nostril, one connected to the left nostril, and a central channel that runs along the spine. When you inhale through one nostril and […]

Spirituality – Life After Death

Soft rays of light drifting through an ethereal, misty landscape

In many ways, we live knowing that one day we will die. During our lives, we develop our sense of self, our individuality, and our ego. As we grow older and come closer to the end of life, understanding what comes next often becomes an important priority. Understanding Life After Death According to the work […]
