Editor’s Desk: Tribute to Tom Greenaway
Our friend and associate Tom Greenaway died on December 13, 2021. He was 86 years old. His landlady, Lorie Leaf, called to give me the news. She said he apparently died peacefully and quickly in his sleep from a blood clot. He was a teammate in New Dimension for…
Editor’s Desk: FINDING NEW DIMENSIONS ONCE MORE
I recently received this note from a listener in Australia. I know she represents my own experience of New Dimensions. I’m often saying that I do this work as much for me as for listeners as I continue my own quest to evolve my own awareness and consciousness. —…
Editor’s Desk: Recalling My Mentor Michael Toms
Recently I delivered the keynote address at SpiritFest in Ridgway, Colorado and shared a story of one of my mentors. I’m often asked a question regarding the many extraordinary wisdom leaders that I I’ve met through the years. Who was the most inspiring? I can supply many answers, however, first…
Editor’s Desk: Life as an Emotional Ticking Time Bomb
The description of a metaphor of a personal, emotional ticking time bomb is a situation that will eventually become problematic if not addressed. I’ve had a few of these go off; one only causing harm to myself; the other causing harm to another. The first time I became aware of…
Editor’s Desk: Visualizing Lost Objects
Several weeks ago I lost my prescription sunglasses/bifocals. I use them for driving and having bifocals makes it easy to look down and see my dashboard as well as deciphering road signs. They usually reside in my purse. However my purse, like my closets, is so full it’s often open…
Editor’s Desk: What’s Currently On My Mind
The research of Suzanne Simard, Ph.D., professor of forest ecology in the University of British Columbia’s faculty of forestry and author of Finding The Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest, tells us that trees form a robust, complex, interlocking network. They communicate through these networks. Her dogged research…
Editor’s Desk: Serenade of the Flies
One spring, my friend, the late Sedonia Cahill invited me to join her on a vision quest she would be leading the following summer. It was pretty easy to say yes because I knew that any adventure headed up by Sedonia was bound to be exciting. Besides, spending a couple…
Editor’s Desk: In A Storm Of Busyness
I belong to several circles that meet regularly. Many of the group members are, more or less, “retired.” Even those who are fully retired find that they are busier than ever. I’ve had the privilege of sharing history with most of them for over 40 years and I notice they…
Editor’s Desk: Ralph Metzner and Light Meditation
There are two special people, Ralph Metzner and Charles Tart, who remain part of the origin story of the work that I have been doing for the past 48 years. It was 1973 when radio station KPFA held a fundraising event at Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley on Sunday, March 4.…
Editor’s Desk: Liminal Lament
My dearest friend and circle sister Linda Merryman has set up an altar to make “real” in some way all those who are dying from Covid 19. We all hear the numbers and they pass through our intellect. Linda has put the numbers into form, a ship of souls…
