Guest Post: Climate Anxiety: How to Relax and How to Help
This is a guest post Adam Cook that I think is pretty good. It’s easy to feel discouraged or hopeless about climate change. Studies have found that we’ve just left the hottest decade in over 100,000 years, so anxiety about our planet’s future is unsurprising. To carry on despite the grim predictions surrounding us, it’s important […]
Dealing with Extremism
Somebody just pointed out that OUR problem is not being Left or Right, it is EXTREMISM of being either the Left or Right. Boulder is more Left and has more extremist lefties and Colorado Springs is more Right and has more extremist right-wingers. So my question is/was how can we personally, locally, engage extremism in […]
Why Don’t I “Just Do It?”
Why don’t I just post things on social media? Something, anything? I have a blog that I have not posted to in months if not years. I have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and I just don’t post things. Could it be because I am lazy? Could it be because I am fearful? […]

Oh, there are the Fighters here too, people who want to fight anyone who disagrees with them. These are the those who think of themselves as the Left or Right, […]
Communication Skills
We all have been taught or trained to have emotional reactions to words. And we have been taught to lie to ourselves and blame others for our uncomfortable emotional reactions. For thousands of years, people have tried to encourage and teach others to take responsibility for their own reactions, and to practice not […]
Combining Both Eastern and Western Spiritual Strategies
The eastern spiritual traditions are about finding peace; the western traditions are about passion. By combining BOTH strategies we can expedite our spiritual evolution and increase the quality of our life experience. In this podcast, I talk about how I unintentionally combined the strategies of the east and west and how that profoundly helped me […]
Governments are Inherently Evil
The difference between a governmental type organization and a nongovernmental type organization is that governments have the right to use force and/or violence to accomplish their mission. We look at forced sex as rape. We call forced labor as slavery. It is not that sex or labor are considered bad or evil, but once […]
