Reality vs. reality

“Evil is not an ultimate reality. It is simply an experience of the soul on its journey toward Reality.” —Ernest Holmes Let’s define evil as that which appears destructive. In that sense, it is an effect arising from a deeper cause: the state of mind of the person inflicting or experiencing it. Evil is not […]

God’s Compost

“Not everything is meant to be saved. Some things are meant to be sacredly composted—so their wisdom can nourish what comes next, without forcing their form to live on.” Anonymous May I define composting verses salvaging something?

Living in the End

I was sitting on a plane, and, as it often does, the turbulence began; this time for longer than usual. I have a slight nervousness when I fly. It’s a feeling of uncertainty. What’s happening, really? Is something wrong with the plane? I think of the worst scenario for a moment, and then I quickly […]

Bridge Over Troubled Water

I believe that anyone who is awake right now might agree—we are living in very troubled waters. These waters rise as environmental crises, political divisions, and ongoing global conflicts. And in the midst of it all, I find myself searching for the bridge that can carry us across. I always ask: What can I do? […]

12 Years of Transformation

Twelve years ago—almost to the day—we held our first service here on the Island of Kaua’I at Center for Spiritual Living Kaua’i. I could say that our twelve years of transformation began on that day, but I would be wrong. The transformation of my life began when I chose to become a minister, and, soon […]
