By Anya Phenix May 5, 2014 Leave a comment

The All-That-Is and all that has happened and will happen within it is someone’s dream. It is your dream. You are the dreamer. I am the dreamer. I am you and you are me. We are the dreamer. All of us dream the dream together. Together, we are The One Who Is All.

Looking Within

By Anya Phenix July 13, 2013 Leave a comment

Last Thursday my husband, daughter, and I went to an Asian Art museum to see Tibetan Buddhist monks making a beautiful sand mandala. My daughter got to try out the tools that the monks use to make the mandala, and she learned how to use a Tibetan singing bowl – from a Tibetan monk! She […]
