A Message from the Director -
Dr. Stephen Johnson
 Sunday,
July 23, 2006
Greetings,
As I was meditating this morning my mind was drawn to contemplate
a few areas of focus. One of them is an issue that I've been
dealing with that is close to home, another concerns what is
going on between Israel and Lebanon, and another is the heat
wave that this country is experiencing. It was 119 degrees in
Woodland Hills yesterday and we have set a new record for successive
days with a temperature in excess of 100 degrees. Every state
in the country has been experiencing temperatures in the 90's
or hotter. It would certainly seem to lend credence to the concerns
centered on global warming. I believe the climate in the world
is hot in more ways than one. I recalled an article that I published
six years ago titled Confronting the Crisis in Our Culture.
The opening paragraphs are as follows:
Humanity recently completed a double millennium. The epic
experiment known as civilization, as it enters its third thousand-year
period of recorded history, reveals certain bitter truths
with which we must contend. It is very apparent, for example,
that contemporary culture has become intensely fast and explosively
hot.
The lack of enough time places inordinate stress on people
as we scramble to catch up or move ahead in order to avoid
falling behind or going down and out. Raging conflicts around
the world as in Iraq and the Middle East and in the urban
centers of America signal a lack of compassionate understanding
and balance necessary for sustained harmony and peace.
In our country, the melting pot of the world, cultures
collide while emotional tension runs rampant in a strained
attempt to blend divergent ethnicity into a homogenized sameness.
We desperately need a common ground for all. The middle is
falling away. There is more and more polarization between
the haves and the have-nots. The spaces between people that,
at one time, buffered the sharp edges of distinction exist
now to a much lesser degree. Radically different people are
losing the ways to maintain connection with each other devoid
of destructive anger, envy, hatred, injustice and cruelty.
Carl Jung said that one sign of maturity is the ability
to hold greater and greater opposition without coming apart.
The period of time we are entering as a humanity is one of
more and more exposed conflict, therefore, we need to be able
to exercise this maturity if we are to withstand the intense
heat generated from this cross-cultural collision. People
get burned up while in the melting pot if the heat's too high.
Their ashes can be found everywhere these days.
Mythologist and Men's Movement leader, Michael Meade,
in his book, Men and the Water of Life: Initiation and
the Tempering of Men, published by Harper San Francisco,
characterizes the need for balancing out hot and intense feelings
with healing coolness. He states, "After years of struggling
through things myself and working for a dozen years with groups
of men, I kept noticing the contrast between, on the one side
- anger, frustration, animosity and aggression. On the other
side - sorrow, grief, disappointment, loss and both loneliness
and the feelings of appropriate aloneness. I watched it in
myself, and I also had seen many men go back and forth; this
was the tempering that the soul seems to require. People are
thrown into the fire and at another point they are thrown
into the water." He concludes that there seems to be an urgent
call in many places these days for water, "in the symbolic
sense of a water that heals, cools, and brings the cracks
of life closer together, so that people don't fall through
those cracks."
In the morning, during my time for meditation, contemplation
and prayer, I read Discourses from Paramahansa Yogananda's two-volume
set, The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the
Christ Within You (Self-Realization Fellowship, 2004). The
Discourse (Number 27) this morning was on Matthew 5:43 –
45: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'Thou shalt love
thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.' But I say unto you, love
your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that
hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which
is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and
on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
In Yogananda's commentary he expressed, "Love and forgiveness
form the nucleus of the Christ teachings. Far more than just
a noble ideal, the principle of love is verily the manifestation
of God in His creation. The universe endures by a play between
good and evil. The effect of evil, delusion, is to divide and
obscure and cause inharmony. Love is the attracting power of
Spirit that unites and harmonizes. The vibratory force of God's
love, consciously directed by man, neutralizes the power of
evil. Hate, anger, revenge, are offspring of the evil force
and thus serve to reinforce the evil vibration."
He went on to say, "If one talks love as a matter of diplomacy
to win over an enemy, but harbors enmity in his heart, that
insincerity will not work for very long. The human heart is
intuitive; it is not easy to deceive its intuitive perception.
The heart must absolutely give up all manner of hatred because
ill will, no matter how expertly controlled outwardly, travels
through the ether into the heart of the person on which it is
focused. Thinking love while talking love will surely mollify
and change one's enemies, even if they do not immediately recognize
or admit it. Love is a divine cleanser and a lastingly effective
way of winning one's enemies. Hatred may temporarily suppress
and put down an enemy, but he will still remain an enemy. The
poison of hate increases by hatred and can be counteracted and
neutralized only by the chemical of love.
Without any expression or feeling of malice or sarcasm, a wronged
person should just say within himself: "I forgive you".
It is such a healing, elevating experience. That mental expression
of love also travels through the ether into the heart of the
wrongdoer. It is one of the most effective ways to change an
enemy. To hate an enemy is to make him stronger, whereas his
enmity is weakened by kindness until he may finally realize
his fault."
Yogananda reminds us that, "Action speaks louder than words.
Thus Jesus says, 'Do good to them that hate you.' Not only should
one mentally love a detractor, but actually do good to him.
With no trace of a 'holier-than-thou' attitude, sincere gestures
of goodwill are reminders of the relation of divine brotherhood
that is the unifying principle among all human beings."
I believe it is sad but true that 2000 years after Jesus urged
people to turn away from the eye for an eye, a tooth for
a tooth philosophy in relating to one another and to pursue
his admonition to turn the other cheek, to treat the other as
we would want to be treated and to love our enemies, many people
still haven't gotten the lesson.
I encourage you to take time to reflect on the world around
you and make room for meditation and prayer. Even though we
are miles away and you may feel frustrated that you can only
watch things unfold in the world without being able to make
a personal impact, consider the power of meditation and prayer
in helping to create a positive effect. Picture the world cloaked
in peace, harmony and the cooling effect of loving kindness
while you send your prayers to the Middle East and other parts
of the world that are rife with discontent, discord and disharmony.
And take a look at what's going on in your own life that may
provide you an opportunity for some forgiving and loving resolution.
As Werner Erhard would say, "Before going off to clean up some
area of the world, go home and do your own dishes."
Namaste,
Stephen
Upcoming Events - Mark Your Calendar
Man Up for the
Challenge to be a Good Man
Join us for
the 19th Annual Fall Sacred Path Men's Retreat Thursday, October
19th through Sunday, October 22nd
"Men today face crisis, as romantic partners, fathers, sons,
workers, and friends. Uncertain of what it means to be a man
– especially a good man – and disconnected from
their needs, their truths, their values, and the spouses and
children they seek to love, many men are spiraling into desperation
and depression.
I know: I see these men every day in my therapeutic practice.
But even as I learned the peril men face, I have realized
how they can use the power inherent in manhood to step up
to the plate of their own lives – to "man up."
I have used my decades of experience as a psychotherapist
working with men in crisis, and developing communities of
good men, to explore the root causes of men's crises, to show
how and why they sabotage their relationships as lovers, fathers,
and good men in the world. It has been my endeavor to provide
them a hands-on blueprint for how they can meet the challenge
of manhood – by renewing their relationship to the women
they love, to their families, to the brotherhood of men, to
their vocations, and to their own sense of chivalry and goodness."
– Dr. Stephen J. Johnson
The community of men that will convene for this conference
will gather to explore what it means to be a good man. Ample
opportunities will be offered for men to explore their psyches
in large and small group formats. Workshops featuring a wide
range of experiential topics will provide men with forums
to engage themselves for the purpose of self-encounter and
self-development. There is nothing like being in the company
of good men to raise your consciousness and contact the depths
of your soul. We also wish to invite men, who are interested
in becoming mentors to boys in need, to join our Mentor Council.
We will be assisting men to comprehend what it takes to devote
one's attention to help boys grow up to become good men. Use
the Fall Retreat to be able to Man Up as Mentors and get ready
for our Spring Call to Adventure Rites of Passage Retreat.

Ed Munter: Songs
of the Soul and Soul Journey
Find the Love You've Been Looking For...
Look Inside!
Can art save the world? A Christian, A Muslim, and a Jew
performing in a revolutionary new musical seem to believe
it just might be possible. In this critical time, when mankind
seems to be divided into warring factions and we seem to be
balanced on the brink of a Holy War, Soul Journey
presents a completely different perspective that is inspiring
and universally accessible. Soul Journey, currently playing
at the Earth & Sky Performing Arts Center, plays like
a funny and touching spiritual fable of the soul's adventure
through the human experience.
As an audience, we are led through a soul-discovery process
to the moment of enlightenment that opens up to a joyful celebration
of our commonality. This collective discovery cuts through
global politics, religious beliefs, doctrine, dogma, spiritual
rhetoric and current world conflicts to arrive at a deeper
connection within us all.
Join Ed Munter, Christo Pellani, and Rashid Lanie
in this revolutionary theatrical experience.

Nick Rath: Life is Not a
Journey
What is Life?
By Nick Rath ©2006
My articles are intended to assist parents in
being more effective as parents. This month you read the title
and many will assume I have gone off on a tangent into philosophy
or religion. Let me know if that is what you still think...
at the end.
When we were born we began as beings that had
certain drives and intentions. We intended to stay alive and
to learn how to "get along" here on
Earth. We can watch young children as they attempt many methods
to get their wants and needs met. The methods that work, that
get their wants and needs met, get repeated. As they learn
and grow they develop other methods for getting their needs
met. We could come to the conclusion that Life is about getting
your wants and needs met.
In the following quote, Life is indirectly defined.
"Life is not a journey to the pearly gates with the intention
of arriving with a pretty and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out
and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!!" Many children
behave as though they understand this from birth. They take
risks that scare almost every adult who watches. They are
aiming to "skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally
worn out...." Other people have chosen the road they believe
will take them to the Pearly Gates with an unscarred and well
preserved body. In between those two choices are lots of other
possibilities. What choices are you making? What choices are
you assisting your children to make?
When I was ten I got a bike for my birthday.
It was a Schwinn, 26", blue with huge tires and strips of
plastic hanging from the hand grips. At my Mother's insistence
it came with training wheels. They lasted until my Mother
went back inside the house. My Dad and I took them off. Both
parents were teaching me about Life and risk management. Mom
taught me that she didn't believe I could ride the bike without
getting hurt (she was right). Dad taught me that he believed
I could ride the bike without dying or getting hurt "too badly".
He was right, too.
Looking back at their lives I can see that their
choices about risk built the Life they lived. I can also see
evidence of their influence on my Life and the Life of my
sister. Dad coached me not to flaunt the risks I was taking.
"Don't do stuff like that in front of your Mother." Mom coached
me not to do anything that might get me hurt. "Don't play
sports. You'll get hurt." The bike became an escape for me.
I rode from Pico Rivera to Huntington Beach almost every weekend.
I didn't tell Mom how far I went. Later, I traded the big,
fat Schwinn in for a ten-speed, narrow tire racing bike. Mom
thought I would get killed on it and Dad wanted to test ride
it.
I was still learning about what level of risk
is acceptable. I still am. Risks that were acceptable when
I was seventeen are no longer acceptable (for the most part).
So, how can we empower our children and ourselves to discover
the level best for each of us?
Could we have conversations with our children
about the intention we each have for our life? My Mother wanted
to arrive at the "Pearly Gates" with a body that had
never taken a risk, never scraped a knee, broken a bone. She
died in her seventies with a body that died of physical, mental,
and spiritual atrophy. She told me once that there were lots
of things she wanted to do in her life, but she didn't because
she was afraid.
Our behavior as parents assists our children
to learn how to manage the risks of Life. Our conversations
with them about how and why we do what we do can help them
make the decisions that will allow them to live their lives
fully and experience all that they came here to experience.
Anyone want to go rappelling?

From the Daily Om: The Dance
of Intimacy
Coming Back To Center In
A Relationship
Anyone in a long-term relationship
knows that the dance of intimacy involves coming together
and moving apart. Early in a relationship, intense periods
of closeness are important in order to establish the ground
of a new union. Just as a sapling needs a lot more attention
than a full-grown tree, budding relationships demand time
and attention if they are to fully take root. Once they become
more established, the individuals in the union begin to turn
their attention outward again, to the other parts of their
lives that matter, such as work, family, and friendships.
This is natural and healthy. Yet, if a long-term relationship
is to last, turning towards one another recurrently, with
the same curiosity, attention, and nurturance of earlier times,
is essential.
In a busy and demanding world full of obligations and opportunities,
we sometimes lose track of our primary relationships, thinking
they will tend to themselves. We may have the best intentions
when we think about how nice it would be to surprise our partner
with a gift or establish a weekly date night. Yet somehow,
life gets in the way. We may think that our love is strong
enough to survive without attention. Yet even mature trees
need water and care if they are to thrive.
One of the best ways to nourish a relationship is through
communication. If you feel that a distance has grown between
you and your partner, you may be able to bridge the gap by
sharing how you feel. Do your best to avoid blame and regret.
Focus instead on the positive, which is the fact that you
want to grow closer together. Sometimes, just acknowledging
that there is distance between you has the effect of bringing
the relationship into balance. In other cases, more intense
effort and attention may be required. You may want to set
aside time to talk and come up with solutions together. Remember
to have compassion for each other. You're in the same boat
together and trying to maintain the right balance of space
and togetherness to keep your relationship healthy and thriving.
Express faith and confidence in each other, and enjoy the
slow dance of intimacy that can resume between the two of
you.

The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands
by Dr. Laura Schlessinger
180 Pages
At last! A book by a woman who really "gets it"
when it comes to men. Laura Schlessinger tells women what
their men really want and need to  make
their relationships thrive. In the words of one of the men
who wrote to her:
"... I can offer this to your search
for how to treat a man. We are men, not dumb-dumbs, psychics,
or one bit unromantic. We need only clear communication, appreciation,
honest love, and respect. This will be repaid by laying the
moon and stars at your feet for your pleasure. There is no
need to 'work' a man to get what you want. We live to take
care of a wife, family, and home. Just remember that we are
men, and know that our needs are simple but not to be ignored.
A good man is hard to find, not to keep."
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands has salvaged and
revitalized innumerable strained, stagnant, boring, disappointing,
annoying, frustrating, and even seemingly dead marriages,
as the real-life examples happily demonstrate. Dr. Laura has
had women calling almost daily, bitterly criticizing their
men, reporting of months of seemingly useless marital therapy
(aka "gripe hours"), and at their wits' end about
what to do with their marriages. After she asks (really nags)
them to try just one of the hints found in this book, such
as finding just one or two things to compliment their husbands
about (no matter how small) each day for five days, they call
her back amazed at the positive results in their feelings
about their men, their husbands' demeanor, and the atmosphere
in the home. They see progress; they feel powerful; they are
happier. Their marriages are experienced as more of a blessing.
Chapters include:
The Improper Care and Feeding of Husbands
The White Rabbit Syndrome
"You're a Nag"
Men Have Feelings? Really? You're Kidding!
"Huh? Honey, What Did You Say? What Did That Mean?"
What's Sex?
A Man Should Be Respected in His Own Home
Guy Time
This is a real "feel-good" book for men, who will
have no problem digesting the material while nodding and saying,
"Yep, that's me," over and over. The hard part comes
when we ask our wives to read it, but believe me it will make
a positive difference in your relationship. If you hear your
wife saying, "Wow, that's me," you know your life
is about to change for the better.
