a muse about the recent killing of Osama Bin Ladenby Prissy Hamilton I've been watching the news about Osama bin Laden, now for several hours. From the first 5 minutes I felt uncomfortable about it, something was wrong. My impression as the news media went on talking about joy, jubilation and closure, it does not feel right, does not feel balanced to me. Yes, the man that popular opinion

Been thinking a lot about the Christian religion lately. The history of it, what exactly it means, how it has changed through the ages, all the different sects, rites, dogmas and beliefs that go along with it. All the many little branches and sprouts that have come from it. It is a fascinating subject and has many facets to it. I don't pretend to be a scholar, not even a really deep thinker,

There seems to be a million pathways, secret teachings, mysteries and ways to find out answers in life. It is mind boggling. There are religions, dogmas, philosophies along with techniques, rituals, and spiritual new age, traditional and even ancient understandings available to the seeker through self-help books, videos, tapes, lectures, missions, travel and everything else. Hundreds of thousands

-Prissy HamiltonIt appears that Congress isn’t very sympathetic to the American people as a whole. Most folks realize that lobbyist are always there with their hands out to pay off or give money to the cause that they want, that will benefit them. That is greed, pure and simple. They aren’t considering the basic human lives that are at stake with their decisions. They aren’t keeping conscious

- Prissy HamiltonThe two realities are fairly stark now and most of us can see or sense them clearly. It reminds me of the Master Card symbol with the two circles that are almost separate, but still have a little overlapping. It is easy to feel the energy of each one. Even though we have called the one ‘home’ for years, it now feels foreign and not very pleasant. The other one feels more normal

Deep in the woods and under the leaf, behind the rock, or in the hollow of the tree, live the Wee Folk. Small little opaque creatures called the Divas, Wee Folk, Faeries, Sprites, and Elves. They are quick of mind and swift of heart, and they find it very easy to elude and exclude their human co-inhabitants. They come in all variety, they speak in all tongues, they dance to all music, they

I’ve been hearing a lot about polarities and dualities: Black - White, Good - Evil, Dark - Light, Good - Bad, God - Devil, Physical - Spiritual, Rich - Poor, and so on. You can read about them and hear about them any where from the grocery store to Wall Street to churches all around the globe.

Story of a child with cancer as told by her teddy bearMy friend Pie was real sick. She had not felt very well for several months and she seemed not to be getting any better. I was worried about her because she slept a lot and didn’t seem very happy or excited about anything. I snuggled in bed and on the couch with her most of the time. So, I was excited the day I found out we were going to go

Apparently, we, the people of the United States (those that voted, anyway), have decided that we want change. This allows us to create a change in the relationship that we have with each other, with our community, with the world and, most importantly with our own government. Our country has a document and it starts with, ‘We, the people...’ It is a serious document and deserves high regard

Years ago there was a Harmonic Conversion ceremony at Chaco Canyon and I gave a friend a bundle to put in the sacred fire, other than that, I’ve never had much interest in the place. Debbie, on the other hand, has been obsessed. For as long as she can remember, she has wanted to go there. So it didn’t surprise me when she came to visit that she requested to visit Chaco Canyon. We decided to make

With the passing of several years, I received several phone calls and letters from Debbie sharing insights. The major change seemed to be around her control issues. She had always explained it away as being independent, but with the experience at Chaco, this independence seemed to be melting away. She said that she was much more willing to compromise than she ever deemed possible. The ‘sting’

Fear is an emotion that is felt by the body. Sometimes it starts out as worry which is internal (our minds) and sometimes it starts out from an external source threatening our physical body. No matter how or why it begins, when it is felt, it moves through the body very quickly. It causes certain hormones to be released by our brain that allows us to move quicker and become a little bit

Know you the Shaman? He dances with life, he pushes away illusions, he produces a space to heal into. We all have a Shaman within us. He is built into our nature (where do you think the idea of an ‘outside’ Shaman came from)?In most cultures, of every kind, an acknowledgment of a Shaman exist, as a helper, healer and bringer of health, joy and balance. Some cultures use outside persons to

I do a lot of 'Ising'. I learned to ‘Is’ a long time ago while meditating. ‘Ising’ is a form of meditation, as I see it. It just isn’t as formal. No mantras, no rituals, no structure. I just sit (and it can be anywhere at anytime) and ‘be’. Thoughts come and go, experiences are reminded and let go, it is a state of ‘evenness’ with myself and others. Often I have thoughts and ideas that I grab

There is energy around us all the time. We, generally, have normalized it to the point that we don't consciously recognize it.Here are some examples: Electricity: We can feel it when it shocks us, it is in all our light bulbs, our televisions, and our hair dryers. We can see the effects of it in the form of lightening in the sky, we can hear it's effects as thunder, but we never truly see

Fall is looming. The last vestibules of katydids are singing and the fire flies are long gone. Squirrels are rushing to and fro, gathering and storing and the leaves of a spent summer are falling.

It was midmorning. A fire was softly crackling in the wood stove and the room was bright and calm. I sat in front of the Story Teller once again.“Have you seen your yellow bucket?” he asked of me in a soft voice.“No”, I replied slowly, as my mind raced to find a memory of a yellow bucket.“Well, you will see it,” he said in a confident sort of way.“What is it?” I ventured verbally.“All of your

When two people meet, they begin to create a relationship creature which is separate than the two of them. They each put into the creature, feelings, thoughts, desires and hopes that they want. Sometimes it ends up looking like a fuzzy, cozy white polar bear and sometimes it ends up looking like a vampire. No matter what it ends up looking like, it is seemingly alive and well and after nurturing
