There’s an old saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. In other words, in desperate times when it looks like there is no other way out, most people will finally turn to a Higher Power for help as a last resort. I suppose that’s true in 99% of cases. I’m sure that there […]
I’m pretty sure (err… well I know, actually) that the biggest reason we come here is to learn. We learn more quickly here in 3D than in whatever other astrals or dimensions or states of being our souls inhabit. That’s because it’s thick here; thick with experiences and resistance and contrast. Birth is like strapping on the […]
You hear a lot these days about Life Purpose. I’ve written about it several times myself because it’s an interesting topic… and because I think that the term has been overused and some strange ideas have coagulated around it. Let’s Get (meta)physical… It’s not nitpicking to define the word “purpose” clearly here. In […]
Sometimes we cling to the strangest things… including some weird and destructive ideas about ourselves that can be self-fulfilling. The most common of these is the pride that many of us take in our past suffering. I’ve done it myself many times, and so have you. There’s probably only a 50/50 chance that you’re […]
As we go through life handing the bumps and bruises that we all get a taste of, there’s a learning curve. Of course, the very way that we do handle that stuff determines how tough it’s going to get. Learn the lesson, it gets easier. Keep doing the same stuff, and the lesson continues until we […]
Short answer, no. Now, since I know that’s going to leave some people scratching their heads (and more than a few more than a little pissed), allow me to elucidate. 🙂 Contracts vs. free will… The prime gift that we have in this Earth school is free will – not all systems work that […]
Everybody talks about “abundance” nowadays – a lot. Ninety-five percent of the time, they’re talking about money. Moolah. Lettuce. Greenbacks. And that’s what 95% of the courses and teachers who deal with the Law of Attraction focus on. After all, we all need money. Unfortunately, we often think that having money will solve the other issues […]
Many of us have an urge to figure out the “why” of life. Why are we here? Is there really a Life Purpose for each of us…any real meaning to our very existence? The proverbial existential conundrum. The idea that we have a specific, individual mission in life is appealing; I believe it’s true. […]
I believe that the whole point of life on this planet is to have experiences on behalf of our Creator (Source, God, Consciousness…). At the same time, those experiences are intended to be the vehicle for us to learn and evolve; this is our basic life purpose. We perceive these as physical experiences, but the ultimate […]
If you’re reading this, you probably consider yourself to be “on a spiritual path”…or at least you’re interested. Maybe you woke up to spirituality last month…or 20 years ago. In either case you’ve probably been studying various frameworks and belief systems. You’ve read the Tolle, the Chopra, the Dyer, the Hicks. And maybe those studies have lead […]
