Expectations

How much do other’s expectations of you drive your life?  Have you ever stopped to look at that? Very few of us live a life where we don’t care about anyone else’s opinion, even if we don’t do what they want us to do. …Details

Self Acceptance

I could be wrong, but I believe that one point or another in all of our lives, we have felt that we weren’t good enough.  Not sure about psychopaths and narcissists, but possibly even them.  And the measuring stick that we beat ourselves with seems to be, “Everyone else is better than me, even the people I don’t like that aren’t better than me.”  We sometimes wrap the barbed wire of, “why can’t I be more like them even though I can’t stand them and I don’t like what they do” around the stick for added emphasis during beatings. …Details

Your Soul Book

Every human being is a complex and unique individual.  Full of experience, education, nurturing and neglect, thoughts and ideas, creativity and passion, let alone the capacity for living a fully integrated life in a Universe that is astoundingly diverse and infinitely variable. …Details

The Universe Around Us

It is a very historically recent event that human beings feel that they are seperate from nature or the world and can somehow control it.  That they have the right to safety and peace in their lives and that anything disturbing this is an intrusion or an assault. …Details

2012 – Year of the Dragon

Today is the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Black Water Dragon.  I’m really excited about this year because as we mature through this growth spurt of industrialization and all the damage that teen behavior has caused us and the planet, we are beginning to recreate our world by remembering the ancient wisdom of traditional cultures. …Details

Ancient Wisdom

‘Everything old is new again.’  The 20th century was an amazing time of growth and invention and development for a large portion of human society.  We continued the industrial revolution and created societies that are no longer communal through the use of fossil fuels and automobiles, created what is called the suburbs, created industries that specialize in controlling natural resources such as food and food production, water, combustibles such as wood/coal/fossil fuels, currency and every other aspect of society, and helped to foster consumptive societies where the difference between have and have not is almost as distinct as feudal Europe.…Details

Start your new life

What do you want your life to look like?  What kind of life do you want to have?  Are you working towards that now or is it something you are just dreaming about while you work at a job that gets you through the day? …Details

Lesson 5 – The Akashic Library

I’m continuing to work on my class for Daily Om on the Akashics.  Here’s an excerpt from Lesson 5: The Akashic Library is an amazing place like nothing that has ever existed on the physical plane.  It is like combining the lost library of Alexandria, the New York City Library, the Library of Congress, and the Papal Archives with an IMAX theater, a virtual reality machine, and your favorite amusement park. …Details

Finish what you start

Currently our culture is drowning in consumerism.  Which means ‘use it up’, ‘throw it away’, ‘use as much as you can as fast as you can’ and don’t think about what you just did, because you have to think about the next thing we want you to do or buy. …Details

The Classics

I was listening to NPR and heard this quote which is one of my favorites and never fails to remind me of the road I’m walking. Ulysses by Lord Tennyson ” ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die.…Details
