Oneness
Now bless thyself: thou met’st with things dying,
I with things new-born.
Shakespeare The Winter’s Tale
May we be those who shall renew this existence.
-Zarathustra
At this time of transition when one era is dying and another is being born, we have a choice: we can stay with the images of the past, the ghosts of materialism that have polluted and desecrated our planet. Or we can move into a future that is not yet defined, that is full of possibilities. There are already signs of this future, some visible and some as yet hidden. We can see the seeds of a global consciousness...(Full Article)

At the core of creation something is changing, coming alive in a new way. A light at the center of the world that has for millennia been dormant has been rekindled. This is the light of life itself waking up, remembering its own real nature and divine purpose.

At this moment, we stand on the edge of a new stage in the evolution of life and consciousness, a new paradigm for the world... (Full Article)
How can the divine Oneness be seen?
In beautiful forms, breathtaking wonders,
awe-inspiring miracles?
The Tao is not obliged to present itself
in this way.
If you are willing to be lived by it, you will
see it everywhere, even in the most

Oneness is very simple; everything is included. Every leaf, every laugh, every tear, every child playing, every soldier weary of fighting, is part of the oneness of the world.

Only in our love of Truth does the heart break open, and we finally stop asking, “How can I hold onto this Truth? How can I maintain this realization?” We don’t look at it that way anymore. We only look at it as “How can I serve this realization?” There’s no more interest in holding on, finding safety or satisfaction.... (Full Article)
Women Working with Oneness: A forum for women in service to life, was held in San Rafael, California, in Fall 2004. It drew together women from different spiritual, professional, cultural, and ethnic communities. The second gathering in early spring 2005, allowed for more intimacy because of its smaller venue. The third event brings together Blackfoot, Sufi and Buddhist women.

Mystics teach simple things,
And those simple things change people's lives.

We are coming to the end of one era, and stand at the dawn of a new age. When one era ends and another begins, power is generated to bring the new era into being.

The Contribution of the Feminine
This is an excerpt from the final chapter of the book, "Working with Oneness"
Life is an interconnected whole, and the energy of life flows through the web of connections that link part to part. Human beings can work with this energy, to help it flow freely on all levels and to reach every part of the whole. Now, at this time of transition as we move out of one stage in our evolution and into the next, we are being asked to do this-to work consciously with the energy that flows through the web of connections, so that the oneness of life can shape the consciousness of the next age.
