In any relationship there are at a minimum two people. While it may be an oversimplification, in general one of those two people will have been the seeker and the other will have been the sought. These categories are less about the act of looking for someone to be in relationship with or the willingness…
On the one hand, no opportunity is truly lost. The specifics may change, the timing, but if it’s something you really want, it doesn’t matter that you didn’t get there 10 minutes ago or 10 years ago, you can have it now. Yes, it will look different than it would have before, but you are…

Over the past 9 months or so, as I’ve been researching about Akasha and the Akashic records for a book I’ll be writing, I’ve been studying the Kabbalah. Yes, they are connected. 🙂 Plus I’ll hopefully be putting out a class on Kabbalah for DailyOm.com sometime this year. Sooner rather than later, but I still…
