Effortful movements towards spiritual transformation sustain the habitual neurology and so dissolution of the ego does not take place. What can help are the two factors of passivity and inward non-action which move us on to a different dimension of awareness.

It’s Christmas Time – or ‘the holidays’ – or the Festive Season. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s a time of the year that has significance in our calendar. Robert Holden said that it’s a time when your life seems to come under a magnifying glass. You tend to ask questions of yourself and perhaps even have questions asked of you. Besides the practical questions such as “What are you doing for Christmas?” or “What do you want for Christmas?” there are the ‘bigger’ questions like, “What kind of year did you have?” and “Have you started thinking about what you want from next year yet?”r
Does it? After traveling to a small farming community, I witnessed the value and power of the barter system. The exchange of physical goods and services are keeping a small town moving forward. Which made me think of all the clothes, extra computers, and unopened boxes that are collecting dust in my attic. These are wasted resources and we all have them. I encourage you to start to think about what you have to exchange personally and professionally.
Hello Love, The spring days are in full bloom and my heart is filled with gratitude and certainty as we transition into a period which shall provide us with a deep understanding for what is next for on a personal, professional and emotional level. Our eagle eyes and our warm heart shall lead us every step of the way. As our feet dig into the earth and ground us before we make our next move. Taking time to play in the garden shall inspire laughter and creativity while we let our troubles melt away. SELF: Reconnecting with you. . . What have you been waiting for?
I sat down on the eve of 11.11 to write you this letter. This number is of significance for me because it means NOW...pay attention to the synchronicity. Something is being revealed to you. For others this is a day to remember all the people who have served the US armed forces. As these two dates converge with many imposed conflicts still existing around the world. I stand in gratitude next to this wise old tree in the great North West of British Columbia with confusion still running through my mind. I am continuously reminded of the peace and love has the potential to be embodiedrnr
Functioning from the universal consciousness makes us go beyond the five senses. The messages from near death experiences help us understand such consciousness and bring about a holistic transformation in our psychology.
What if we have more control over peace and conflict than we realise? I believe that we, as a species, have a very good knack for "talking the talk" but not so much "walking the walk". We can affect the world's dynamic and rhythm so easily through our words and actions. You'd think we'd be more careful. We focus on the major conflict but do very little in regards to the minor conflict that is apparent in our daily lives. We are taking two steps forward and one step back each
Life is like a palette of inspiration from which we can choose our personal preferences. We want to choose the people, activities even colors that are aligned with our inner Truth and allow us to shine. (Keep reading below the image.) That is what your energy and brilliance is about, being aligned with your inner Truth. When your personality merges with that essence you can really shine in the world. Energy requires clarity and focus to have the greatest affect and impact.
When the psychological energy elements are in the helter-skelter form, they lack the synergistic effect. Healthy mental transformation can take place with synergism. Our noisy mental state, lacking polarization, fritters away the energy.
Our wellbeing results from expansive perception of the palpable and the hidden truths of life. The field of reinca ation is one such area that can help us evolve into the region of higher intelligence that unifies humanity and brings about their vibrant living.
Everywhere we look we see the color green. From the color of nature to the color of the paper that we earn for our hard work. Colors are believed to influence the way we feel and even our actions. Take yellow for an example. Yellow is a happy color. Yellow represents joy, friendship and wisdom. When we imagine someone being sad or depressed, the first color that usually comes to our mind is black never yellow. Like yellow, the color green also has its meaning and effect. It i
Many methods of meditation are in practice. People choose one or a few of them and bring about some peace of mind. While this approach is helpful, it is good to discover what it means to be in a state of awareness in which the meditator is absent.
‘She’ climbed out of the car with Debbie, one of her beloved sisters, the frogs welcomed them to the gathering and the night sky began to glitter with cosmic light. They walked towards a large wooden door, the entrance to a Spanish style estate in Malibu, California.
Paying attention to wise instructions with regard to practical matters is part of good living. In the area of spirituality, however, freeing oneself of all Dos and Don’ts is necessary in order that the ego is prevented from continuing its involvement.
Pure spirituality is untouched by history and geographical location of people. Thus it is available to all humans irrespective of belief systems generated in history. The universality of pure spirituality beyond space and time is highlighted by many paranormal phenomena. Historicity is time-based and time-bound while true spirituality is ete al, uninfluenced by man and his mental conditioning. Thus, it is something to be discovered through inner awareness and wonderment - not to be found through conformity to history-based systems.
How does one step into the holidays when life is tough? Perhaps there has been a loss of a job or a decrease in financial flow. Now, more than ever, it is important to practice good self-care during the holidays. It can be tough in times of difficulty to see a “silver lining” amidst so much loss. If this is true for you, I invite you to notice all the blessings that are in your life, and to start each day with an attitude of gratitude. The gratitude may be your breath or the covers that kept you warm during the night.
The perceived “storm” for some might be visible outside of oneself when one reads the paper, searches the world wide web, looks at the “news” or has a conversation with family and friends. While, some of ‘US’ might become fixated on the outer self reflection; others are looking for stable ground while traversing their rapidly changing reality. These two dualities are very similar, they are merely a reflection of our inner and outer worlds. We might begin to scratch our head and say, ‘What is going on here? When will things settle down?’ rnr
New Energy-Old Energy Are you in a space where confusion seems to rule lately? Has something ended in your life, or needs to end, and you’re just not sure what to think or where to turn?
Take a deep breath and a brief pause. As the breath begins to travel through you, consider supporting Artists that create with their heart and soul; that is what Suzanne Toro is doing and wants everybody to spread the love and support to your communities of artists.r
Messages from paranormal phenomena can take us into the realm of the unknown, the Beyond. To receive the messages, one must listen and remain without judging. That means one should not fall a prey to the usual tendency of being a believe or a non-believer.
The feeling of sorrow, as different from sadness, can take us on to the beyond – the region of universal spirituality where man’s self-centered projections cannot thrive. Can we understand the beauty of that feeling and its deeply cleansing effects?
I started writing this article on the drive down to Busselton for the Half-Ironman event this weekend. Being the day before the event, the conversations in the car milled around the usual topics that pre-race jitters bring up: training dramas; personal timing; event pacing; food need before and during the event; the respective cut-off times and tips for doing the quickest transitions… A group of us travelled in convoy and this has reminded me of my running days of old – travelling to the larger events away from home.
The human being is a coupled unit of the body and the mind. For a comprehensive well-being, their combined and interactive harmony should be considered. Neither of them can be independent in their wellness.
Why does God allow dark forces to exist and cause us trouble? Because without dark forces, there would be no growth, no building up of our strength, our courage, and our truth. We have to have something to test our faith, strengthen our faith, and keep moving us forward. Okay, hereâs the rubâ¦.when does this friction stop? When do you become the pearl? How do you know when you are ready to be a pearl and no longer need the friction of dark force attacks on you to help you
Human beings have a tendency to cling to comforting and satisfying conclusions rather than be bold enough to acknowledge the truth. This attitude thwarts the journey of discovery in any field and, especially, in the realm of spirituality. A good historical example of this may be called the Cope ican Paradigm. This is the item in connection with the discovery of the solar system’s heliocentric characteristic. The Polish astronomer Nicholas Cope icus is usually credited with providing a systematic proof of the heliocentricity based on the retrograde motion of the outer planets.
Have you ever been in a situation which caused you to question how confident you are? What is confidence, when do we get it, how do we lose it and, most importantly, how do we get it back?
'She' met Quinn, Cathy and Paul through a friend and has been blessed by this family’s grace, openness, love and stamina. The Doctors have determined that Quinn has a disEase; however, every time ‘She’ is around Quinn...‘She’ sees otherwise. It appears this journey is beyond her diagnosis and it feels as if this will be her vehicle to teach many. Quinn caught ‘She’s’ attention when she gifted Paul and Quinn two magical Star Children (a.k.a. Native American flutes). As ‘She’ played the flute and looked into Quinn’s eyes, ‘She’ felt Quinn’s entire physical and energetic
Self Love...Finding Your Inner Sanctuary Today, I embark on a journey inward and drive across the desert to find some solitude. Taking the time to commune with Self. Solitude ...one of the many vehicles, I like to drive in to find my center and reconnect with my landscape. Often times, we forget that our life will afford us the time to just “be” or take time to just “be” with self.
Many issues of life can function as our teachers if we adopt an attitude of looking into them with the eage ess to understand what lies beyond the apparent. Reflection on the sorrow at losing a near and dear one can lead to a life of compassion.
Our lives can be enriched by paying attention to the wider consciousness beyond the limited cocoon within which our habitual mind revolves. We get a glimpse of its greatness by looking into the descriptions of Oneness in that pervasive awareness.
When we widen and deepen our perspectives, our life moves towards serene waters. One such perspective is available through understanding Reinca ation. This creates an elbow room in one’s consciousness, leading to stable peace.
The Question Some esoteric questions can set us on a journey of discovery in the direction of ‘Know thyself’. One of them is related to this matter of freeing ourselves from the impact of society that corrupts our awareness. Can we fulfill our worldly responsibilities and yet not get threaded into the psychological fabric of society?

Life on this planet is influenced by many factors. Human beings are primarily driven by their habitual neurology but they remain unaware of how they are captured by it. A release from that neurology can move us a great deal towards living vibrantly.
So much of my life has been spent worried, stressed and anxious about what and how other people perceive me to be. A constant question has been, do I live up to their expectations? Little thought was given to how I felt or how I was actually doing or feeling. Although I have mostly grown out of this habit, always wanting to make others happy, it still rears its’ ugly head on occasion and I have to actually take my own advice. What’s that advice you might ask? Well, I’ll start
Committed to Transparency...within the Living Food Industry ‘She’ has known Kipp for several years and has always applauded his willingness to go the extra mile to show full transparency with all of Essential Living Foods Products. His passion for telling the truth and commitment to quality makes it effortless for ‘she’ to recommend any of their products... Today ‘she’ was reflecting on the energy in Peru and Egypt and the medicinal energy of the olive.
Now that we’re stepping into the holidays, it is very important to take extra good care of yourself. Have you noticed, that every year the holidays seem to get advertised earlier and earlier? This year I noticed that Christmas displays went up a day after Halloween. In previous years, I didn’t see any sign of Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Nationally, folks are experiencing a lot more stress this year because of the current economic situation combined with how to manage the holidays.
All that we have ever needed is within us. Yet, we often look outside ourselves for the answers to the questions that surface, as we step into this thing we call Life. Where did we ever learn to stop trusting our own intuition or our little voice that tells us secrets in the middle of the night? This distrust in our own wisdom and truth can lead us down the road of disillusionment and pain. So, how does one begin to trust their inner wisdom? One of the ways to start is to sit, be still, and listen. Allow yourself some time to get to know your inner self.
'She' met Greg one winter evening in Westwood, California. During, a gathering of individuals discussing the possibility of manifesting and creating change for the betterment of humanity. Some might think their visions were all too lofty and beyond possibility...the room carried the vibration of transformation. After ‘her’ first conversation with two soul brothers...‘She’ looked at Greg, and thought, “I remember you.” He looked at her, smiled and then said, “You get it.” There were really no need for words just a mutual understanding for each other.
I often tell a story about a grandmother who once told me, “I don’t need Life-Coaching as I’ve finally learned to say NO. Especially to my family!” I laughed at this comment, appreciating the inherent wisdom in it. The ability to say no, with suitable assertiveness, compassion and respect is a skill.
The vibrant river waters are alive. A river in flood overflows the banks and forms pools of water which later get delinked from the river. The stagnant pool water slowly gathers all kinds of scum and forgets its onetime vibrancy. Is there a message?
Within each of us there is a part of our character that gives us the strength to stand up in this world. The part that is often referred to resiliency giving us the ability to survive various life circumstances that are difficult to manage at times. I have the pleasure of working with individuals who seek my counsel when the challenges they are facing are too much to bear.
I am lucky enough to be staying with relatives this week, in a beautiful house in the middle of the countryside. I am completely relaxed, have no demands on me and aside the odd bit of reading and writing I am happy to just Be. Yesterday I sank into the comfiest armchair, looked out at the stunning view and before I knew it 2 hours had passed in a haze of conscious contentment. I am feeding my body and soul with complete rest as that is what I need and deserve at the moment and I make no apologies for it.
When we are walking down that dark alley in our life, our inner thoughts and launguage are most often those focused on seeking hope and light at the end of that alley. We never know when that dark alley is going to present itself in our lives. In fact some of us are able to walk through them without even knowing, others have so many to walk through, and sadly to say there are those who don't make it, thus creating a darkness for others to pass though.
Many people are unaware of how the issues of the society influence them and intensify their mental noise. This is where the psychological fabric of society functions as the culprit in the drama. Opinion mongering is an essential part of it. It is good to be aware of how our thoughts are influenced by the psychological spider web created by society. Freeing ourselves from it is not easy because of the fact that the practical aspects of our life are also fused with it. Through careful discretion, we can release ourselves from the spider web and bring about inner integration.
Have you been trying to work with the law of attraction in your life, and it’s just not working? Are you wondering what is wrong with your thinking that you can’t do it? What is wrong with you, don’t you deserve to be happy like they say? Do you even get to the point where you feel good one day, then down in the dumps others and you wonder if you are bi polar? If so, relax, you are not alone, and you are not bi polar.
We often hear spiritual phrases like "escape from your mind" or "break free from your mind". Often the thinking mind that causes us suffering is portrayed to be something bad or undesirable. While in a way this is true, never treat your mind to be something bad. It is a fantastic teacher, if you know how to understand its teaching. The mind forces you to out of identification with it by causing you distress. You are forced to simply remain as the awareness of it.
Avoid being ripped off... Anyone who is reasonably sensible is aware that there are people out there who would cheat you given half a chance. The thing is to know how to prevent them. So how do you know when an offer is a scam and when it is genuine? Simple. When there is a lot more in it for them than there is for you. Think about each offer logically. I recently had someone telling me he was a well qualified builder, very popular, had a huge business before he moved yet off
