I am halfway through the series of 6 posts. If you desire to read the full version, you can find it on my Substack account No amount of logical reasoning can truly convince a person that the universe is alive and ensouled – that knowledge blooms from a deeper soil of feeling. Think about the […]
The post Part 3: The Microbial Whisperers: Intelligence Beyond the Brain appeared first on Being in Awareness. Originally Published on https://beinginawareness.com/
When we stray from this humble surrender and try instead to dominate life, we set in motion that descending spiral – one that now threatens to carry our entire species into oblivion. Humans are already drifting toward extinction, a stark reality seen in metrics like fertility rates. In the United States, the average fertility rate […]

This is the first in a six-part series (Surrender to the Living Universe: Re-wilding Our Hearts and Homes) exploring the inner and outer journey of rewilding—from surrender to soil, microbes to memory, and the sacred return to right relationship. Each reflection stands on its own, yet together they form a deeper arc: a remembering of […]

A presence that responded with eerie clarity to what I had not said aloud. It […]
There’s something I’ve been quietly sitting with. Much of how I think—how I deepen, reflect, discover—has always happened through conversation. Listening. Responding. Being in dialogue. Some of my most powerful insights have come in relationship, not isolation. Through a friend’s question, a shared silence, or the slow unfolding of ideas over time. That’s still true. […]
To begin, I want to share a few possible scenarios that lead to a breakdown or a non-functioning communication. First of all, how often do we listen to another person with the intention to come up with a response that can prove that my point of view is the correct one? Does that create anything? […]
Are you aware that we are speaking and thinking about 60,000 to 80,000 words per day? When I got that information, I was holy macaroni, that many words and, even if we don’t talk a lot, we’re pretty busy in our head. So what are we telling ourselves with all those thoughts? Are we programming […]
