There’s a lot of talk nowadays about “manifesting”. In a nutshell, we’re told that if we think positive thoughts, we’ll get what we want. Of course there are some “abundance teachers” who are somewhat realistic about this concept, and suggest that action is required. But the emphasis is always on “being” who you want […]
Owning it All, and No Going Back
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 […]
Are You P*ssed Off? Great!
When we think of negative “energy” within ourselves, what comes to mind? Depression, anxiety, fear? Those are all indeed dream-killers. Learning to control those emotions (and the thoughts that they provoke) is probably the most basic step as we begin to truly take control of our own lives. You simply cannot focus on solutions […]
You Are a No-Good, Dirty Rotten Liar!
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 […]
The Black Spot
When I was a boy I was an avid reader. I consumed (and was consumed by) any kind of adventure story – Last of the Mohicans, the Zane Gray books, Call of the Wild, and The Light in the Forest (which was based on real events in the very place where I lived) […]
Quantum Spirituality
Some of us have the ability to “just believe” from the get-go when we first begin to seek something outside ourselves. These fortunate souls simply dive in and sort it out later. If that goes well, they’ll eventually filter out what doesn’t seem to be true for them, and come to their own solid […]
Are You Too Special to Succeed?
One of the most prevalent and destructive subconscious beliefs that I see in many people (including myself at one time) is that they are different… special… the rules don’t apply to them. Now, this is a delicate and subtle area because we each are definitely unique and special, have widely divergent skills and […]
Three Realizations That Changed Everything
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 […]
Manifesting a Mate
Everybody talks about “abundance” nowadays – a lot. Ninety-five percent of the time, they’re talking about money. Moolah. Lettuce. Greenbacks. And that’s what 95% of the courses and teachers who deal with the Law of Attraction focus on. After all, we all need money. Unfortunately, we often think that having money will solve the other issues […]
Knowing Is Not Doing: True Mindfulness
If you’re reading this, you probably consider yourself to be “on a spiritual path”…or at least you’re interested. Maybe you woke up to spirituality last month…or 20 years ago. In either case you’ve probably been studying various frameworks and belief systems. You’ve read the Tolle, the Chopra, the Dyer, the Hicks. And maybe those studies have lead […]
