Answer to Personal Fate and Karma Skeptic

The views we hold about personal fate and karma, such as at least 75% of the core circumstances and events in everyone’s life are predestined, are controversial. We regularly receive unsolicited (usually anonymous) feedback like this: “What about the law of attraction? Don’t we co-create our lives, our realities? I think so. Your information is depressing.

Karma and Spirituality Q & A: Why Infant Diseases Exist

It’s perfectly understandable to be mystified as to why “bad” things happen to seemingly “innocent” people. We’ve found that it’s necessary to put aside conventional thinking in order to grasp what we believe to be the truth about karma and personal fate. To further address this issue, we’ll answer a question we received recently: “There’s got to be something amiss with karma as we have it. How does someone ‘earn’ karma such as being depth charged for three straight days in a leaking U-Boat? So that elect group of men did stuff in other lives to cook up that experience? ?

Fate and Fame: Mega Stars and Predetermination

Fifty Hollywood actors of similar talent toil for years looking for that big break, frequently crossing paths through the same auditions and talent agencies. Eventually, two of them make it to A-list status, yet the others languish in obscurity. We don't call it luck, we call it fate. "It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I've been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part." Robin Wright

Are You Living Your Dreams?

Life to me is about living fully, all out. It is about moving one day at a time, one action at a time toward my dreams. It is about being happy, healthy, and comfortable in my body, cultivating freedom in my day and my life. It is about a life of service to others and using my gifts. It was not that way for me just a few short years ago. In April 2009, I was diagnosed with DCIS, early stage breast cancer. I came face to face with my life, and how very far it had veered off c

Spirituality--Redemption Debate Rages On

The debate about whether or not it's possible to wipe out karmic debts rages on. The Oxford Dictionary defines redemption as "...the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil...or clearing a debt." Everyone who has a conscience feels guilt for wrongdoing. Sometimes the wrongdoing can be avoided, sometimes not. The question is, can you be redeemed in this life so you don't have to face the consequences in a future life. Our findings show, it depends.

Twins: Spiritual Heritage of Twins Trumps DNA and Environment

As identical twins, we are supposed to be genetic mirrors of each other and conventional scientists attribute our differences in personality to environmental influences. Contrast that with our controversial viewpoint: we associate our unique personalities and distinct physical differences to the influence of spiritual heritage; everyone, including identical twins, has a unique soul. Life is much more than mere biological science. Why not consider the influence of spirit too?

The Truth About Life Purpose

In a past post I wrote about the greatest myths about life purpose. So what is true about life purpose? Truth #1 – Life purpose is much more of a journey than a destination. It is more a state of being than a state of doing. It’s about who you are and how you show up in the world. Your life purpose may be expressed in specific ways, including (hopefully) your career path. But essentially it is an ongoing journey. Realize that the journey may not be a straight line from po

What are Your Unconscious Commitments?

Unconscious commitments are agreements that we make with the Universe at a very young age. They are, primarily, based on how we perceive the world. For e.g., if there is a lot of chaos around you as a child, you will decide "the world is chaotic." Unconsciously, you then become committed to this world view and proceed to create it again and again until you realize what you are doing. So, how do you know what you are unconsciously committed to?

Spirituality is a personal choice

Choosing to walk the spiritual path is a very personal decision. It is a decision that only you can make. No one can, nor do they have the right to, compel you to make this choice. It is a personal matter – a personal choice. Our modern lifestyle is too focused on materiality. If you are fine with that, that is OK too.
