You know how things seems to come in waves? Like, the other day I saw three turtles in one day. We live in the woods, but even though the shelled reptiles are doing fine around here it’s rare to see more than one or two a year. They just aren’t very sociable. Like me. Tuesday […]
Enjoy Your Self!
When somebody asks you if you had a good time (like if you went on a vacation to Hawaii, say), they ask “did you enjoy yourself?” What they’re really asking is whether you enjoyed the beach, the food, the experience. All the stuff around you when you were on vacay. More like, “did that […]
The Virtues of Impatience
The Virtues of Impatience I’ve written and spoken quite a lot about how Patience is one of the universal life lessons – the ones that we all need to learn. When you can be patient the rewards are many. All things come to those who wait, etc. But according to the Law of Polarity, […]
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 Wasting Your Time?
One of my favorite concepts is that nothing is ever wasted. Usually I’m referring to life experiences. It all adds up to something, always. What’s here now would be impossible without what came before. That’s just the way it works in our particular system. But yeah, things sure can look wasted. And sometimes […]
Faith and Doubt – Two Sides, Same Coin
A Personal Lesson Story… The lessons go on and on… the only things that change as we grow are the magnitude and speed at which they show up. This week I was prompted to move my practice to another level. Over the years I’ve tried a whole big buttload of different formats; half-hour and […]
The Most Important Life Lesson
I’m pretty sure (err… well I know, actually) that the biggest reason we come here is to learn. We learn more quickly here in 3D than in whatever other astrals or dimensions or states of being our souls inhabit. That’s because it’s thick here; thick with experiences and resistance and contrast. Birth is like strapping on the […]
Life Mission vs. Life Purpose
You hear a lot these days about Life Purpose. I’ve written about it several times myself because it’s an interesting topic… and because I think that the term has been overused and some strange ideas have coagulated around it. Let’s Get (meta)physical… It’s not nitpicking to define the word “purpose” clearly here. In […]
Life Purpose Is Not a Job
Many of us have an urge to figure out the “why” of life. Why are we here? Is there really a Life Purpose for each of us…any real meaning to our very existence? The proverbial existential conundrum. The idea that we have a specific, individual mission in life is appealing; I believe it’s true. […]
