Hello, again my friends,
Well, we’ve experienced it yet again. Another senseless atrocity that took the lives of 49 people, injured many others, and left families (and the rest of humanity) with a gaping hole in their hearts wondering ‘WHY?’. The events that took place in two separate mosques in New Zealand on Friday continue a rash of senseless attacks on humanity. Now seeing that this alleged gunman did not take his own life, I assume that he has some sense of caring for the fact that he did not. He did not want to harm himself. Yet he found no problem killing others and destroying the lives of those families. So, it’s pretty easy to say that this individual did not know what Oneness is. He did not know that in hindsight, he did, in fact, kill a portion of himself along with all of us. You see, for if he did, maybe he wouldn’t be so eager to pull a trigger, or to do harm to another IN ANY WAY! So after yet another tragedy, isn’t it safe to say that, unfortunately, this trend is continuing?
This is what rips my heart and soul apart. The fact that we don’t get it. The fact that we can’t come to grips with such a basic trait of our very being. That although we are individuals, we come from one source. We are all connected. We are all one. And the reason why you and I will not do harm to ourselves is the very same reason why we won’t do harm to anyone else (I feel safe including you in on this. If I’m wrong, please reconsider). WHY? What’s the issue? Or are we really that fucked up? Either way, it scares the hell out of me and I’m more concerned about the future our children face. I mean really. If we continue on this pace of horrific and senseless tragedies, what’s this world going to be like down the road?
So, how do we put an end to such hatred?
Those who know me know the answer. You’ve heard me talk about. Sing about it. And most recently write this book about it. Wars and fighting will never stop any acts of hatred because hate is a mindset. You cannot tell people how to think. Our problem is that over time as a race (the Human race), we have grown away from Oneness. And by that, I mean that the walls of separation between us have expanded exponentially. And throughout time as this trend of separation continued, the collective consciousness associated with that grew as well. To the point where we are at now. Where taking the life or lives of another member of your own race (again, the Human race) doesn’t affect you.
There is only one way to put an end to or drastically slow down a collective consciousness of that kind. And that is by initiating a new and more powerful consciousness. One that I know is already in place! I know it’s in place because although we still hear of these acts of violence on a daily basis, there is still more good than bad in the world. If only the media would focus on that for a change, but good-news stories don’t make money. This new collective consciousness is out there folks, and Oneness is a HUGE part of it! The only way that it spreads is by you and I maintaining our thoughts of peace, love, and of course, the fact that we are all one (aka Oneness). We are all energy. When we maintain this thought process it spreads to our immediate world (your family, friends, and co-workers who you interact with daily). When the energies of those people grasp on to your powerful and positive energies (and they will) that’s when they spread it to their immediate world. And that is how the chain reaction begins and continues. There is no other way. Think of how light dissolves darkness just by its mere presence. That’s exactly what we’re dealing with here.
So as we continue to pray for New Zealand and humanity in general, do it in the name of Oneness.
I have shared this music video of mine now countless times after each and every tragedy. Hopefully, one day I won’t have to.

Hello, again my friends in Oneness,
Knowing that I will take absolutely ANY opportunity to talk about Oneness, why not our annual ritual of ‘Daylight Savings Time’! As we know we take this opportunity to turn our clocks forward as we ‘Spring Ahead’ one hour which provides us with more daylight at the end of the day. So, how can I tie Oneness into this ‘Rite of Spring’? Very simply. Spring is a time for change. It represents the renewal of life in so many ways, especially after a dormant winter. It also represents growth as we start to see plants and trees come back to life.
So, why can’t we change?
Why can’t our lives be renewed in a sense?
Why can’t we grow and come back to a life that may have eluded us?
Oneness has always been in us and with us. In many cases, we just haven’t recognized it, or maybe like in so people we’ve just buried it deep within our subconscious unknowingly. So why not address this as we head into Spring? Why not take this time to touch base with something that’s been missing in your life? The proof that Oneness is within you is very easy to identify. Have you ever cried over the loss of a loved one? Of course, you have. We all have. We’ve all heard the saying ‘a part of me is gone’. Well, that’s because we are connected. We are one. So, yes a part of you is gone. Which reminds me of the famous quote from John Donne the English poet from the 16th century who said:
“Any man’s death diminishes me for I am involved in MANKIND. And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee”
Yes, when someone dies a part of all of us die as well. We don’t react unless it’s someone we know, but theoretically, when anyone dies a part of us dies as well. And this because of Oneness. Because we are just individualized expressions of one source. We can utilize Spring as a rebirth of our inherent truth. We can come to know this truth as if for the first time, although like I’ve said, it’s always been there. So, why don’t we all ‘Spring Ahead – into ONENESS!’

Hello, my friends,
Today is March 4, 2019. Exactly 50 years to the day that my ‘baby sister’ Micaela was born. Our family gathered last night at a great restaurant in Red Bank NJ (Patrizia’s) to celebrate. We had a private 2nd-floor room which provided a beautiful view of Broad St. that was accompanied by a just as beautiful snowfall. We did what we always do when we gather as a family. We eat, we drink, we tell many stories and we laugh our asses off! All in the name of love. Which, for those who’ve read my book know that love is one of the six words that I equate to what we are here as spiritual beings having this human experience. For those who don’t know, I use the acronym ‘S.T.E.V.L.S.’ which stands for Spirit, Thought, Energy, Vibration, Love, Soul. As these six words are interchangeable and they all represent Oneness, and what we are at our very core.
And so you see, ‘Love’ is one of those words. And as it pertains to the ‘Family Love’ that we got to share last night, well I don’t know if there’s anything better! Because like most families, we don’t get the chance to get together as often as we’d like. Occupations, schedules, and life in general always seem to get in the way. But when we do plan these special events like we did last night, it is always something special! Last night in particular, as each one of these family gatherings that we now have all come without our Matriarch, my Mom. Mom passed away in January of 2018 and although our lives will never be the same, boy do we sense and feel her presence! Especially like at an event that we had last night as it marked the 50th birthday of her ‘baby’. And how Mom made her presence known last night was ‘classic Dolores’! We were a party of 15 and we were seated at a large square-shaped table that had to be about 12′ x 12′. So as you can gather from those dimensions, there was no way anyone would be able to get underneath the table. Except for Catherine. Catherine is my adorable soon to be 6-year-old great-niece who loves to explore! Unbeknownst to us, she was under this massive table and came out with a birthday balloon that said ‘Wishing You a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!’ Well, we immediately knew that it was my Mom’s way of letting us know that she was absolutely with us on this special occasion! And as you can imagine, it led to some happy tears.
You see folks, ‘Family Love’ so embodies Oneness. It’s that bond that so many of us get to experience in our lifetimes. For those who do not, I sincerely send you prayers of love in the hopes that something else in your life can take its place. Family is truly all that we have in this lifetime, and it’s what carries us forward in so many difficult moments we face in life (like when you lose your Mom). And because so many people can relate to family love, I’ve often wondered what it would be like if we felt that way towards ALL OF HUMANITY? Just imagine having the love and respect that you do for your family, and sharing that with EVERYONE! Yes, honestly try to envision that. Hey, you never know!
In Continued Oneness,
Danny
