Personal Development, Spiritual Awakening, Being OK

Welcome to SomethingIsHappening.org

Back in Highschool, I wrote a poem called “something is happening”. It was a purely “stream of consciousness” type of thing based on an underlying feeling I had that things were “creeping, moving, changing,” and “happening” in the world.

The overall theme of the poem was dark, foreboding, and cryptic, but as I’ve grown older, I’e begun to notice some subtle and beautiful shifts on Planet Earth. I’ve noticed them even against the backdrop of horrors we are caused to learn about through our well intentioned but misguided media. I believe the Dalai Lama said that the “negative” things were noisier, so they are indeed more easily noticed in the squirming, living, breathing phenomena we call “life”.

My quest has brought me to many teachers. Most noteably Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God), Deepak Chopra (Seven Spritual Laws of Success), Jerry and Esther Hicks (Ask and it is Given – The Law of Attraction Gurus), Marc Allen (Type Z guide to Success), and most recently and noteably, Steve Pavlina of StevePavlina.com – Steve has created the most intense, complete, multi-dimensional, personal development website I’ve ever seen. I can say without hesitation that it’s changed my life for the better.

So this blog is really my attempt to clarify for myself what life is all about, discovering and living my purpose, finding out what or who God is, why we’re here, what happens after we’re gone, and what all the fuss about the present moment is! … and to pass on the fruits of this process to you, the reader and seeker.

Call it a “personal development” website, a “spiritual growth” website. Really, it’s just me, processing, speculating and growing. Taking the works of the great teachers I’ve mentioned above and spitting it back out in my own words, adding a filter or two, perhaps stretching, yanking, scarring and exhausting it, but my intention is for it to be a great source of teaching and insight for you. “Something is Happening” is a deep truth all in itself. Life is movement. As long as there is life … something is happening…

I’ve recently gone through some of my old poetry from the mid nineties. You’ll find it under the category “poetry and musings.” I hope you like it. I wrote quite a bit in college as well, back in 1983 or 85, including a couple of short stories, so I’ll dig those out and copy them here soon as well. I think it meshes well with what I’m trying to do here.
