About

img_2453

Greetings all. My name is Jeremiah, and I am the writer. That’s my son and I you see above. πŸ™‚

Anyway… You’ve found yourself within the Heartsphere.

This blog serves as my own conduit for expressing what I consider to be intimate thoughts, or forms of thought, based loosely on the concept of the Noosphere.

You will find a little bit of everything here, but mostly a bunch of swirling thoughts with endearing intentions. I’m not concerned if anyone else ever reads these pages but me, but of course all are welcome here to comment and read as they wish.

Additionally, though I try to continue to write on this blog regularly, I’ve taken to writing on Medium much more frequently. If you’d like to follow my work on Medium, you can link to it below:

Jeremiah Stephen on Medium

A little about me:

I write for a living as a copywriter and masquerade as an artist. I’m currently a full-time student pursuing a B.A. in Philosophy. I’m an avid traveler, and I’ve also spent nearly twenty years in the hospitality industry as a bartender. Though I’m more internally focused on the intimate and powerful nature of the heart, when I’m not working for other winsome creatives or out “in the world,” I enjoy exploring a broader range of elusive and often overlooked concepts through conversations, intimations and affirmations with the Heartmind.

More importantly, with this blog I hope to illustrate nuance and inspire the development and awareness of a truly divine space that lives silently within us all; the bond that exists between the heart and the mind.

As with my previous blog, Knowthesphere, the heart of this blog lives to serve as a voice; a voice in the promotion of inspiration, hope, love and compassion that exists when we fully attune to our heartmind, our heartsphere.

Hopefully you’ll find all of those wonderful things here. πŸ™‚

I must also mention that my first book Sphere(s) was written seemingly out of chance by writing on my first blog, and with the help of its many contributing followers; followers and friends whose comments I’ve both acknowledged and learned from along the way. Again, I thank all for their contributions.

Thank you for visiting. With so many brilliant and creative minds in the world, I’m happy to be a part of such wonderful company here.

Godspeed as you seek.

  19. It’s okay to respond to the people who mention God. It’s just a cultural affectation. Repressive, yes. Conversationally deadending, yes. But you can respond to them and not their madness.

    I highly recommend the scene in the 2008 movie “Happy Go Lucky” in which the hero connects with a homeless guy.

    Reply

    1. Not sure what you meant. But I welcome all dialogue. I do try to respond to everyone, though I’ve been getting quite a bit more comments than I expected, some slip through. Thanks for stopping by!

  20. I have to tell you, which I’m sure you know… everything happens for a reason. You ‘liked’ something on my page which led me to yours. I cannot even begin to tell you how the synchronicity is blowing my mind. You are literally writing the things I think about, & meditate on, on a daily basis. I cannot wait to read more of your ‘musings’, ‘teachings’, & ‘words of wisdom’. Not to mention my name is half of yours… (Maia). I suppose I could go on and on… but needed to reach out and tell you how much I am enjoying what you are writing here. Great minds… and the same state no less!

    Thanks for dropping by my blog and for following it.
    Yours looks really interesting too.
    It feels so relaxing to read thoughts without dogmas, but also having an aim, a purpose. That’s a balance really difficult to achieve.

  25. Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog. It’s brand new so a little skimpy right now…I have to tell you Jeremiah how wonderful it is to read your thoughts…so on line with my own thinking but perhaps expressed more succinctly. I so look forward to exploring your blog more fully. You have very ‘telling’ eyes…a Soldier of Light indeed!! Many Blessings

  34. Hi Jeremiah,

    You have a really nice blog up here. I like how your deep thoughts are reflected in your writing. It’s soul-uplifting, and I’m enjoying what I’ve been reading so far! So well done on this! πŸ™‚

    I noticed most of your posts are reflection of life, philosophy kind of thing! Mine are too. Well, in quite different way. My reflection is written in flash fiction. If you’re interested, you’re more than welcome to visit my blog. Here are the links to some of my flash fiction:

    I enjoyed your expression of yourself… I love the metaphor: “it’s beneficial to know the sphere, whatever sphere you may be focused on at the time, but at the same time, remember that its the whole that we’re all a part of.”
    “Infalling” serves me the same way, I’m getting to know my sphere. I agree that it is our duty and purpose in this world. To belong, to be whole and to be a part of THE WHOLE!! Thank you! You are another blessing that crosses my way! πŸ™‚

Love your recent post and the quote β€œYou can take a candle into a dark room and light it up, but you can’t take darkness into a well lit room and make it dim.” Literally had this same conversation with my 9 year old last night. She was worried her light would dim when her sister was having a moment to shine. Here’s to lighting up the sphere, one post at a time.

  71. Hey Jeremiah, thanks for dropping by my blog, otherwise I’d have never discovered your amazing writing. So candid, so vulnerable, so transparent – definitely gets one thinking (& inspired, regardless of their beliefs) because it’s evidently written from the deep well that is your soul. I am going to have to re-blog a lot of stuff from here ;p

      3. ok, excuse my dumassness, but what is BFE? lol and, NY is my dream vacation, by the way πŸ˜‰ I’m in Vancouver, BC Canada … city just outside Vancouver actually.

      4. Excuse my crude reply, but BFE = Bum-Fuck Egypt.. basically, I’m in the far north country of New york about 12 miles from Canada. BC is awesome! spent a week there a few years ago.

      5. That’s hilarious. Your excused … hahaha!! No worries about language with this girl LOL … And, you must spend more than a week in BC my friend. where did you visit when you came?

      6. Good deal πŸ˜‰ I definitely didn’t want to leave. But I spent a few days on Vancouver Island and a few days in Stein Valley and Mehatl Creek parks.

      7. oh really, I lived on Vancouver Island for a few years .. Had my daughter there, In Nanaimo, BC. I LOVE it there and in Victoria. I like the ‘busy cities’. That’s why NY excites me so much!! Are you on Facebook

      9. oh, I deleted my twitter account. It got too much with Facebook, twitter, wordpress, my space, etc. Now, just facebook, wordpress and linkden for me.

  103. What an incredible time I just had reading your posts! Some made me laugh, some brought tears to my eyes and some were beautiful thought-provoking moments. Much gratitude to you Jeremiah!
    I just chuckled through the interchange above this one about where you live. Especially because I live in “upstate NY”, at least that’s what we call it and it’s much further south from you- Albany.

  142. Now, I have read your blog and will “follow” yours. You are very thoughtful. I like your approach to writing and agree that it is important to merely “put it out there” and let come what may. T. S. Eliot suggested that we “offer our deeds to oblivion” and I think that is very important. What happens after we have made that offering is not our business. You have offered one of these “deeds” and it has spoken to me and will speak to others and will continue to reverberate throughout this void that we live in.

  143. Something about your writing draws me in, and I have only just begun. Love everything I’ve read here so far, love the way your mind works, how you feel about ‘life.’ So glad I found my way here, thanks to your visit to my blog. I’ll be coming back often, and following back. Enjoy your day.

    Reply

      2. Its unique in the sense that you write what you think and feel. Not many can do this on a public forum. The only advice I can give is to keep writing, you’ll only get better the more you express yourself. And dig deep, when the soul speaks everyone will hear it. Best wishes πŸ˜‰

  148. “Know the sphere,” a very philosophical concept. I like it. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I noticed you have a “Philosophy” link. Perhaps, after I upload some more content, you will find some interesting information on my blog.

  156. Thank you very much for following my blog. You have a very interesting blog. I look forward to reading more. Like many others, your “About” is interesting and well written, unlike mine. Someday I will take the time to write a well thought out “About.”

  157. Good evening (or is it morning?)…

    Thank you for becoming my first follower (I know that I am not Jesus Christ).
    I enjoyed the mood of your piece on the events (personal and otherwise) surrounding Hurricane Katrina and will check out more of your work.

    You seem to have pretty well put together page so any feedback you would care to give someone as green as myself would be appreciated.

    Cheers

  158. How very nice! Yes, I did come by to see if the reference was really to noosphere, but also because it seemed likely given the post you happened to visit at my blog. So, thanks for coming by to introduce yourself, and I’ll look forward to getting to knowthesphere here too.

  159. Thankyou for the follow Jeremiah. I read with interest your piece about Katrina and your loss. In 2006 I was in Thailand and came across an old man who had lost everthing as well as many friends in the tsunami. He told me in broken english that they take a lot from the sea and this time the sea took from them. A typical Thai Buhddist outlook for sure but one worth remembering.

    Grateful that you are following my blog dedicated to highlighting issues around gender based violence and rights of minorities in Africa.

I am also a professional and seasoned journalist seeking opportunities to write even further. Any Ideas!!!!.

  177. Hello Jeremiah,

    We have almost the same purpose for writing a blog. Mine is to learn about writing. We have a big difference though: I am not a published writer. I write only here in my blog.

    Thanks for expressing that part, I am encouraged!
    I might as well learn from you!
    God bless you!

  182. Emotions & Knowing the Sphere..thats got me written all over it!

    Thanks for welcoming me into this blogging experience, hence allowing me to experience yours.

    As an artist, thoughts & language are the key to inspiration & emotions make it come alive! Doing what we love & are passionate about it is the key to our soal.

    I live my life by this Whakatauki (Maori Proverb):

    ‘Tama Tu, Tama Ora, Tama Noho, Tama Mate’.
    ‘Stand, Live, Sit, Die’

    It basically means that if we stand up & get involved – we will succeed. If we sit & do nothing – we wont.

    Your writing is amazing & i look forward to reading more : )

  215. Hello, Jeremiah–

    I wanted to thank you for following my blog and tell you how honored I am that you’ve done so. To be quite honest, I feel rather unworthy of the follow after reading your incredible blog. I’m afraid mine comes across as somewhat corny at times, but I’ve no one to talk to about these corny things … hence, the blog. haha.

    But your blog is incredible … You’re such an intriguing person with so many equally intriguing thoughts. I’d imagine you’d be fantastic to talk to in person. Thank you for stimulating some moments of rumination in my life. I spend a lot of time alone, and it’s nice to have interesting things to think about. πŸ™‚ I look forward to reading much more.

      1. How did you get started? I’ve written for my campus newspaper, maintained this blog and keep books of my own writings. I want get more of my work published, but don’t know where to start.

      2. I started small with newspapers and local publications, the moved to the web. There is a huge market for web content, though it isn’t very satisfying nor creative work. The best advice I can give is to get the current issue of Writer’s Market by Writer’s Digest. It has hundreds and hundreds of listings for writers along with here and how to sell your work. Basically, you need to query like a maniac to get work published. It is a constant hustle, but worth it if you have a passion for writing. Best of luck to you.

  261. Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Reading your “about” page makes me feel like you’re a kindred spirit in the blogging world – sharing your travels, experience, wisdom with the possibility of those things speaking to others. That’s certainly how I feel about my own blog. I also like to be able to track in some ways how I got to where I am today. It’s the fun thing about writing…. I look forward to reading more of your writing, to follow your journey some. All the best!

  279. Thanks for the follow. I have a question for you and no worries if you don’t want to share. A little bit of background. The reason I created my blog is because of a love of Colorado and all of its byways. I decided to do a two-year tour of all of those byways culminating in my 50-birthday. I couldn’t think of a nicer gift to myself…until I came up with the idea of not only recording the exploration, but also publishing it. Now, I know there are many self-publishers out there like “My Publisher”, but I had not considered Kindle and I was curious how that works. Would you be willing to share with me via email?

    Either way, I will stick around to read your thoughts on spheres. πŸ™‚

    1. You’re welcome πŸ™‚ The only advice I can give is to write often, and write from the heart. Network with like minds, and enter into discourse. Be a voice, not just a page with words. Hope all is well!

  382. Hi there – I am working on converting my blog to a book and wondered how CreateSpace worked out for you. If you have any wisdom or particular suggestions, I would appreciate it.

    Reply

    1. Sure.. CreateSpace is great.. The services they offer for the money are worth it, in my opinion. And I’ve heard Balboa Press is comparable. I would recommend using it. For me, it was a simple way to finally see the entire process of completing a book through from start to finish. A couple tips I learned: EDIT! Make sure you’ve fine tuned your digital file before submitting. They only allow a couple drafts to be submitted before charging you again for the service. Ensure that you’re happy with every comma, period, word, sentence and paragraph. I would also seek out help with a book cover like I did. They only have generic templates that do look decent, but having a personalized and professional cover does require a bit of outsourcing and I think is worth the time.

      1. Thank you for the sage advice. I am just beginning, slowly editing. I will take the time to thoroughly edit as suggested. Your cover advice definitely strikes a cord. I need help in that respect for sure. Thanks again – CMC

  384. I’m inspired by the voice in your writing and the eloquence of the words you chose. There is a flow to your words as well. Thanks for stopping in.

  389. Thanks for following my blog! I hope you find some useful materials, whether that is just the shared life part, the theological ponderings, or the sound tech info. I’m not as active on here as I really should be, but more hits from people like you certainly help motivate me to do more!

  396. Hello Jeremiah,
    Thanks so much for visiting my blog and following. I enjoyed so much what you had to say on the reason for writing your blog as an attempt to “get things out of the basement.” For me too, my blog is for ME. People assume those of us who blog do it for the attention or because we have the need to be seen or heard or whatever. I do this firstly for myself as a form of expression, to get the thoughts out of my head. If in doing that for me however, I can also inspire or speak to someone else, even better. Isn’t that what we were put here on this earth for after all? Thank you for inspiring me. I look forward to reading more from you my friend!

  398. Beautiful blog! Well written with a poetic intensity that I quite enjoy! Your vernacular is so very serene, yet intense, and I look forward to reading some more in the future. God bless and keep you and may your writings inspire thousands more to come πŸ™‚ By the way…thanks for visiting my blog and following.

  407. Hello…

    Here’s a little New Years message from TΓΌrkiye to say β€œthank you”. I appreciate your recent β€˜follow’, knowing how many interesting and entertaining blogs there are out there.

    Blogging since June 2013, my little corner of the world tries to offer an eclectic smattering of posts, from basic amateur photography, to sharing my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on our fruit farm in southern Turkey. I also throw in a few of my observations on life and lighter-hearted stuff for good measure.

    You are more than welcome to have a look around, stay a while and have a trawl through my small collection. There are plenty of categories within the drop-down menus to help in said digging process. Of course, if you have any comments, suggestions or concerns, feel free to let me know – I’m not easily offended πŸ™‚

    Hope you have a great day and even better 2015…

  413. Adding to the long list of comments…..I like your stated purpose for the blog. I started the blog peoplehistory for a similar reason…I too enjoy philosophising and thinking about things (usually activism/struggles) from a spiritually uplifting perspective. i like that we can ping our voices out into the ethernet and perhaps affect others in positive ways.

  414. Dear Jeremiah,

    I wanted to write you as I found your blog through another blog and found it to be very heart felt and warm. One of the most amazing things about life is meeting unique people and they usually inspire and create a amazing adventure-you do this and I have chosen to follow your journey and hope to see you around on mine.

    With much love,
