I like to read the scriptures and wisdom of various religions and philosophies and then let my thoughts wander about what it means to me. I trust you will enjoy my musings.
Would you agree that we live in interesting times? Unfortunately, most of mankind live in a time of stress, because we do not know what tomorrow holds. This is where my reading of all sorts of scriptures comes in handy. I read this in the Srimad-Bhagavatam: “There are two types of dissolution of the manifestive …
Wow! Now this one is a revelation to me. The Zohar (Beresheet B: 53) “… describes the metaphysical process by which the negative desire to receive for the self alone is transformed into the desire to receive for the sake of sharing. This transformation opens the way to the final redemption, which will be achieved …
Don’t worry – I am not one of those muscle tigers who believe that you need to go against the messages that your body sends you to stop, so that you can brag about the foolishness of self-inflicted physical pain while you show off a beautiful but hurting body. On the contrary. One thing I …

A mother in a different country reached out to me for healing of her seven-year-old son who is still not talking or sleeping through. We agreed that I would work remotely on …
