"We're speaking across a divide when we talk about the parapsychological community and the professional skeptic or pseudo-skeptic community that is all but impossible to bridge…The position of the parapsychological community,...1/11

2/11 "which is the position that I share, is that it's entirely possible to study questions of extra-physical mentality in a clinical setting. And this research is not only compelling but, in fact, has proved repeatable. Results have been demonstrated that stand up under very...

3/11 "strictly juried conditions and this research is extremely inexpensive compared to the money that gets spent on a wide range of psychological, pharmacological, social-science related experiments…So, there's no risk to the perpetuation of the scientific method...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 17 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always join any time with link in bio. Today’s focus is based on “Habit 13” from The Miracle Habits. Few things are more depleting of your happiness and sense of self than internalized conformity...1/6

2/6 I do not exactly mean outer peer pressure, which I’ll address tomorrow, but rather the limitations that we internalize as a matter of rote and thus limit our senses, large and small, of solutions, possibilities, and avenues of expression. I do not suggest a...

3/6 go-it-alone approach to life. We are all connected and relationships are at the basis of everything. But you will naturally attract more of the people with whom you want to be connected when you stop acting “like them” and ask yourself: what do I truly want? In that vein,...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 14 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always, join us any time with link in bio. Do you know what would make you happy? I ask because your life may hinge on that question, which belongs to you alone. It seems so simple. But only in...1/8

2/8 appearance. We are conditioned to use words and markers in place of experience. Today choose hard-won experience over concept. Trust your experience. When I was 12-years-old and riddled with anxieties (for which I was hospitalized) I thought to myself: “If I could just go...

3/8 to bed and wake up feeling contented I’d be happy.” (A spiritual teacher I later admired said the same thing.) I no longer feel that way. Much later in life I was flying home from a vacation (save us from vacations) and felt burdened, anxious, and depressed. I got a...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 13 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always, join anytime and find link in bio. Yesterday was a tough day for me—you?—and today I am back on. Friction is part of life—it’s the only part of life that fosters creation. Without an unmet...1/4

2/4 need we would remain inert. That is why I feel the snake in the garden emancipated rather than misled. In his magisterial book Meetings with Remarkable Men, spiritual teacher G.I. Gurdjieff includes an addendum, “The Material Question.” He tells the story of how he...

3/4 and a group of students fled the Russian Revolution and found themselves desperately without money in Constantinople. They tried and tried to procure resources but their efforts failed. Just at the moment when everything seemed about to collapse a forgotten resource...

Friends, good morning and welcome to Day 12 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always, join any time with link in bio. Many of you have written to me with really moving stories—we’re doing this seeker to seeker and it’s important to exchange—and also with grueling challenges...1/7

2/7 I often say that we experience many laws and forces, including those of physical limitation. This is why I eschew the term “law of attraction.” I don’t like the implication that we live under one mental super law. While consciousness may be (and I believe is) the ultimate...

3/7 arbiter of reality we do not, the vast majority of the time, dwell in that sphere. Kick a rock and you will feel mass—and pain. That is as much a law in its effects as any other. Yet we also dwell within the extraordinary. The mind is the medium for experience that exceeds...

Dear friends, good morning and welcome to Day 11 of the #30daymentalchallenge. Join any time—with link in bio. What is “positive thinking?” I eschew terms like “manifest”’and “Law of Attraction.” (I write instead about “selection” and the existence of numerous laws... 1/5

2/5 and forces.) But I hang onto this “golden oldie” of positive thinking. I like its historicism, I like its plainness—and something more. To me, positive thinking means deliberative thinking. It means constructive, directed, and determined thought. It does not mean rosy...

3/5 or myopic thought. It does not necessarily mean loving of neighbor or enemy, or denying of opposition or evil. (In terms of the psyche, I define evil as spite, a trait I despise). It does not deny concepts like victory—when pursued with ethics and reciprocity...
