Whether the movement of the stars through the heavens, or the evolution of life, there are simple structures and patterns that repeat throughout existence.
We discover the natural patterns that appear in microscopes from the most basic life also can be seen through telescopes as the universe creates and
recreates. Scale is irrelevant from nanometers to light years.
The Nautilus is a metaphor for our personal spiritual journey. As the Nautilus grows it creates larger and larger cells to hold its greater volume. While it lives
only in the most recent cell; it carries, and cannot be separated from, the remnants of its earlier self.
The Nautilus looks forward, to the future, lives in the most current cell, the present, and feels the weight of all the cells that came before, the past.
Energy that has reached a high enough level of complexity that we are capable of perceiving our own existence.
Our energy spans the range from the compact, low vibration, ephemeral energy that we perceive as matter, our body; to the ethereal, high vibration energy
that we have defined as our higher self, a Being of Light. However, it is misleading to think of the material and the ethereal as separate. We are in fact, a
single being who’s energy encompasses a wide spectrum.
Having achieved self awareness, how do we continue our forward development to an even greater energetic complexity? Chakras have been used by many
systems, from ancient religions to the most modern spirituality, as easy to understand guideposts. Steps on the Stairway to Heaven. Chakras are an
understanding of the energy that we are and how that energy manifests in our every day life. Energy is a continuous spectrum, and like the colors that
represent them, think of chakras merely as markers along a continuous path.
Each discipline, from religious to spiritual to healing and scientific, interprets the chakra energy scale for different purposes. Each focuses on specific details
and expands upon that greater knowledge for specific results. However, I feel that it is also an advantage to see the forest as well as the trees.
Step back for a moment and consider all the various Chakra disciplines. In their most basic forms, aren’t they all just different perspectives of the same
concept? Like numerous people viewing a faceted jewel from different directions, each person’s description will be unique, even though they are all
describing the same jewel.

Not many who view Avatar will understand all this, of course.
To the younger crowd, Avatar is simply a cool action-
adventure film with a compelling love story that makes it a
great date flick. But to those who've been around on this
planet a little longer, the story of Avatar is a far important
story of good versus evil, war versus peace, destruction
versus healing and isolationism versus interconnectedness.
This depth of sensitivity to life is rare to find in any film these

makes Avatar so truly remarkable: It speaks to viewers at
many different levels, intertwining the core themes of human
mythology in an extremely tight, fast-paced screenplay that

This is a refreshing new look at the timeless topic of Enlightenment, the ultimate goal of all
spiritual paths. It resulted from twenty-five years of meetings with teachers from a wide
variety of wisdom traditions, including Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist, and New Age. The book is
nonsectarian and contemporary in tone... a psycho-spiritual poetic odyssey for 21st-Century
pilgrims. The tone is eclectic and adventurous, It is not only about enlightenment, it is meant
to be enlightening. Instead of chapters, it has short sections, framed by provocative quotes
from a wide variety of inspired voices, both known and obscure.
