When somebody asks you if you had a good time (like if you went on a vacation to Hawaii, say), they ask “did you enjoy yourself?” What they’re really asking is whether you enjoyed the beach, the food, the experience. All the stuff around you when you were on vacay. More like, “did that […]
Sometimes I want to punch my Higher Self right in the nose. If he has a nose, that’s where I would punch him. I haven’t actually punched anybody since 8th grade, and that was in self defense. But still… I get so pissed at old HS because I know that he is the one who […]
Lately I’ve been doing some more rigorous filtering of the people I’ll work with. It’s not that I don’t have good clients already; it’s more a change in my attitude toward my work. Honestly, when I started out I was like most people who want to work independently: if you were breathing and could […]
I use myself as an example a lot when I’m teaching. Naturally I know myself as well as anyone, and have been witness to what was silently going on in the background. I’ve picked myself apart numerous times, and I’ve found that no matter how different we all are, there are certain principles that […]
A Personal Lesson Story… The lessons go on and on… the only things that change as we grow are the magnitude and speed at which they show up. This week I was prompted to move my practice to another level. Over the years I’ve tried a whole big buttload of different formats; half-hour and […]
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 […]
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 […]
