Declaration

Be Rational

BE RATIONAL Unless There’s a Good Reason Not to Be H B Gelatt If you decide not to be rational because there is a good reason not to be, isn’t that being rational? Have you ever made a decision that wasn’t totally rational? If you answered yes, please answer the second question. If you answered no, please reread the first question and try again. Second question: How often have you made decisions that were not totally rational?

Will the new site be up soon?

I seem to recall someone mentioning that the new site might be up and running by the end of July. If that's the case, I'd just like to mention that I've enjoyed this site and I've had fun sharing my blog with other IONS members.

Forest Lights

I've been feeling very homesick lately. I'm homesick for dead. I know that doesn't make any sense, but I miss the way things were when I had my NDE. I crave that light and that way of experiencing everything. I miss the feeling of a very big love, so big that it isn't like what gets called love here at all.

Communions

GaiaStar Room

Note from artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd: In 1998, artists Bonnie Bell and David Todd began to meditate on the emergence of global being. When we see ourselves as human-spirit cells in a conscious, living world, how does that change our awareness and our bodies? Out of this meditation, we created a series of 64 images and text called The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World. In this slide show you’ll read phrases from the Codex mixed with mandalas and goddess icons from the Codex and some of our other visual series.

Thich Nhat Hahn Room

A Monestary bell rings three times to begin this meditation, led by Thich Nhat Hahn, to music from “Graceful Passages� by Gary Malkin and Michael Stillwater. This room is about transmuting suffering into heart understanding and mindfulness.

Shakuhachi Room

A Shakuhachi flute wafts across a natural landscape as inspiring words from James O’Dea hypnotically call visitors into deeper resonance with self and others.
