Numerology: Does it carry an ultimate reality?

In around 530 BC, Pythagorus, the infamous Ionian Greek mathematician, numerologist and astrologist, moved to Croton and started a movement you may have heard of called Pythagireanism.  It was a  system of esoteric and metaphysical beliefs that linked knowledge of music, astronomy and mathmatics. It was said that he was the first man to call himself a philosopher, or lover of wisdom. And of … [Read more...]

Burning Witches: Medieval or Modern?

Mediums connect with spirits who have passed away or with ghosts. Witches, such as in Bewitched, whisper spells to chant or practice magic, while wizards like Albus Dumbledore, are another type, specifically a conjurer. Back in the day, all three types were forbidden, on pain of death, to practice their “deceptions.” Burnings came about from magic-use accusations, used to damage rivals. … [Read more...]

What If … we could be healed… of anything!

What if anything was possible? …What if we could all be healed? The other day I received an email from Nick Ortner. He wrote the book ‘The Tapping Solution.’  I watched his powerful YouTube video about The Tapping Solution Foundation's efforts to help heal people using the method of  EFT (Emotional Freedom Therapy) or “Tapping”. Recently, they went to assist after the tragic massacre of Sandy … [Read more...]

Our Day’s End

Trigger Warning:  Sensitive material When I was on an island in Georgian Bay, Canada on vacation this month, I heard the news of the death of Robin Williams. What a talent. What a man. What a gift of funny. What I find comforting in talking to those who have crossed over about suicide is that they tell me it’s not about judging the act. Suicide is merely a chosen exit point. If our work is done … [Read more...]

Family Matters

This week, I got an email from a loving cousin of mine who is from north of Toronto and was heading out to Vancouver to go visit her mom, who is now living there with her brother. We planned to try and connect her mom with her dad, who had passed away. Of course, it’s out of my control if her dad would grace us with his bigger-than-life self, but wonderfully he accommodated us. I find it so … [Read more...]

A Coincidence?… Not on your life!

I recently had a conversation with someone in my Zurich writer’s group, Margaret, about potential subjects for my new activity of blogging. I launched into a very controversial topic: ‘coincidences’ or rather, the lack of them. I told her I didn’t believe in them. As we talked, she noted, “Everyone’s had one of those ‘What just happened?!’ moments. When you say, ‘That was so weird and way beyond … [Read more...]

30 Day Challenge!

When staying with the Blasbergs in Boston last week, Jeannie my host, was telling me a cool thing she and her husband John were doing.  Since February, they have been giving themselves “30-day challenges” to do something different each month — something they have always wanted to do but have never done before. They’ve gone on a gluten-free diet; meditated at 5:30 am every day before sunrise; and … [Read more...]

How do I know?

About 10 years ago when I first moved to Zurich, I was working on a film outline about a woman living abroad who comes into a psychic ability …. when BAM! It suddenly became a self-fulfilling prophecy. I was so confused as it unfolded. Was I intended to be a psychic or just write about one? I reached out to an old friend in Atlanta, Lisa Bufton, who is a Medium. She gave me my first moment of … [Read more...]
