Hello, A warm welcome to the many newcomers who have recently joined us through a shared interest in Is TCO “write” for me? Also, a whole lot of appreciation to the “old-timers,” many of you having been with us since our inception in 2008 and witnessed our many attempts at speaking the unspeakable: the long game, indeed!  On that […]

Hello, Michelangelo has some of the best quotes: “The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.” And it makes me wonder… Could the marble of the law – and especially the marble that Moses picked up a while back –  transform in accordance with what our artist’s

I trust you are well… Today, I want to talk about the search for the House of Belonging. It is my sense that we all want to feel that existence welcomes us, that we are not accidental; not a “mistake!” What makes this quest even more tangible is the advent of technology. I smile as

Gentle warning: the plays on words in our newsletters and books have a purpose – to awaken us to the life of the word, which, in turn, inspires us to be true to our word.  Tomorrow is April the first – a day marked by unexpected practical jokes and hoaxes. When I hear a voice behind

I love this new word: “disANGRY…” I love it because it makes me smile, and thus immediately ends the fight. Just one word, and my world changes! Yes, the world in which I live is at war. And it still puzzles me that this state of affairs could even be possible, at a time when

We are so happy… Today is when our new book The Code of Opposites is officially published, and now available for sale as paperback or kindle eBook! It is also available for global distribution via bookstores and eBook providers serviced by Ingram Spark. Should you be considering picking up a copy, it would mean the world to us if you would

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anaïs Nin. Yep, we are now four days from publishing The Code of Opposites… It is risky to come out, as coming out means something WILL change. Have you ever noticed that actually feeling

I’ll admit: there’s a part of me that doesn’t like surprises. It wants to know; it’s even addicted to knowing! Gratefully, there’s also the artist part in me who heals the addicted part by delighting in the experience of divergence. Indeed, it is this very divergence which makes the Art. On that note, physicist Niels Bohr offers “prediction is

Did you know that today is a Holy Day and, as such, a turning point? Yep, today is Candlemas – the day that all the Church’s candles for the year are blessed in commemoration of the ritual purification of Mary, 40 days after the birth of her son Jesus. It is also believed that Candlemas

This week, Michael and I went to listen to a talk by Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist whose lecture tour brought him to Austin. It was an adventure, first to be with masses of people who had to forget about social distancing (if only for this one evening), and second to hear JP who

Did you know that about 4 million books were published in 2019? An overwhelming majority of them — probably even more than half – have been self-published. Amazing, isn’t it? Whether a book’s sales volume are a blockbuster, or just a bust, writing a book is a surreal experience.  This is especially true when viewed

It is likely that The Code of Opposites would not have been born if it weren’t for the widespread belief that the Kabbalah was dangerous. Moreover, it is said that this study should not to be shared with ordinary people, children or women (yep!). In response, I chose to rebel and go exactly where I was not

Welcome to 2022: may it be a year rich in opportunities and in the openness to receive them!   On that note, did you know that the Hebrew word QKabbalah means “receptivity?” But what is there to be received? A salary? A soulmate? A parking space on a busy street? While there’s nothing lower or higher, I reckon that

This is such a rich season of the year… Movies abound featuring the love of Christmas, alongside movies about those of us who associate very difficult memories to this time of the year. Indeed, what will be my choice: to forgive the trauma or to recreate it each year (if only in my mind)? This

Happy Holy Days to you and your loved ones! For us, this is what has been most present this week – the idea of resting while working; of stillness when moving. Surely, when I hear the soul saying “in all things seek rest,” there is no push/pull. This is a universal teaching (a.k.a. let go

Power is, indeed, a mystery. Isn’t it curious how there are times when we have it, and times when we don’t? Where does it go? Why do we give it away? At the physical level, we call Power “energy.” Certainly, the energetic body influences our biology by the way we use Power. Power is so

Indeed, power, just like fire, is a big conundrum. That is why we will, from now on, capitalize its letter “P.” Consider: when giving my Power away, there is a truth (or a voice) I won’t hear or speak. Where does that voice come from? Language is said to have emerged around fire. Daytime was

Early reports have been trickling in. In a nutshell, The Code of Opposites (TCO for short) is touching sensitive places. And… that’s good news! This is especially true if you are like us – sincere in our desire to emPower the NOW, moment by moment. Presence requires that we’d resist nothing; not even a bold, outrageous and thoroughly provocative

First of all, a warm welcome (and lots of thanks) to you who came on board this past week! As for being grateful for the wars we individually and collectively wage by resisting what is, it is admittedly bizarre. But then again, the whole of life is bizarre.Yes, it was a bizarre experience for Michael

Many thanks to you! We are overjoyed by the enthusiastic response we received to our invitation to participate in the advanced readers program… Today, we are sharing a piece from our book – its essence and fundamental mission. It took us some time to even recognize that our calling, individually and collectively, is and potentially
