Welcome to the Perspective Depth blog! This blog will be my main blog for my work. I am merging my previous blogs from earlier projects into this one. These sub-blogs include Perspective Mapper, Clear Simple Life, and Prime Meditation projects. Why am I creating this as a new site and new blog? Well, it’s my…
Can We Ever Exact Real Justice?
When we’ve been wronged or had, we have a brutal tendency to try to exact revenge on another party. A lot of times we don’t want to own this feeling, so we couch it in more politically correct words such as “retaliation” or “exacting justice”. Yet, taking justice into our own hands is fraught with…
The Good Day
An essential component in one’s life system is to nail down what constitutes a good day for us. What should you do, each day, that will make the day fulfilling for us? What is the quota? What, if we do every day, will we find solace that our day went OK? Some examples perhaps… Writing…
Corporate Meditation: The Trojan Horse
Meditation brought into corporate culture, on the surface, is a way to relax employees and get them to better focus on doing their job…and increase the bottom line of the organization. That’s the corporate intent. But the actual purpose of meditation is to connect one with Higher Consciousness. Whatever word we use for this. Source,…
Loving Our Enemies — Conflict Reconciliation in a Nutshell
“Love your enemies.” Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:44 Loving our enemies is the essential outcome of any spiritual practice and essential prerequisite to any conflict intervention. It’s the ultimate test of our character as a human being, community, or nation. And of course, it’s the central principle of this work. Everything else we can play around…
Owning Our “Ugly” Face
I was watching my daily dose of self-enrichment videos when YouTube’s (brilliant) search algorithm popped this video up. I exceeded my quota for the morning, but I was curious about the person in the video and what he looked like… and I can say, I’m now inspired to write my next blog post on this…
Society Can’t Guide Us
The moment I realized that the social models and society’s institutions could offer no real direction for me is the moment that I owned the clarity within myself. Mainstream society, though it offers us trends, grooves, tracks, and models to follow, is clueless as to how we should best contribute to the world we live…
The Center Point
There is a Center-Point in all experiences. Through meditation, we tune our minds towards this Center-Point, allowing our apparent selves to be informed by the wisdom It expresses. Interestingly, the light that we need to illumine the Center-Point comes from the Center-Point itself, allowing transcendence to happen on its own, to the degree we’re clear…
Determining Respect in Dialog
Earlier, I wrote an article on how respect is a prerequisite to any meaningful interaction. There really is no purpose to an interaction, and no fruits can come out of dialog, if there isn’t mutual respect first. We can look at our recent US Presidential Debates to see how no one’s learning anything from each…
Distractions and Processing our Feelings
This month I experienced a severe bout of Internet distraction. The flare-up lasted a couple of weeks…but it also indicated to me a long-term pattern deep within me that I am committed to get a handle on. The frenetic US election and post-election fiasco caused vertigo within me of intrigue, hilarity, and folly, resulting in…
