The other day I read yet another blog post by someone who works in the intuitive/spiritual field calling “bullshit” on some details of spiritual knowledge or another. I don’t really remember exactly what it was… I think it was about “soul groups” and negative souls…stuff like that. I must admit that in the past I’ve been guilty […]
Money, Courage, and Taking Risks
One of my main ways of communicating is through my Facebook page (you’re invited to join me through the link over there on the right). I post whatever occurs to me, usually several times a week. The thoughts I share usually are found helpful by at least a few people. It’s easy to tell which […]
Spiritual Awakening: So what?
We hear a lot these days about people “waking up”. Waking up to their spirituality…to their potential…to the idea that what we see around us is not all there is to the universe. Often, this change in outlook is born of extreme pain. We’ve tried everything we know of to get our lives on track…like […]
Labels and Book Covers
The way people label themselves has always fascinated me. For most of us it starts at a very young age… even in middle school you have the cool kids, the rich kids, the jocks, the nerds. Even the loners are a group…they just don’t congregate as such. Most of the time we choose these labels for ourselves; sometimes […]
Letting Go of the Pain; Stop Slapping Yourself!
I recently had a few conversations that provided stark evidence of what happens when we choose to keep ourselves in the “comfort” zone of pain. We can call this choice “subconscious”…but it’s really more properly an un-conscious reaction. It’s conditioning,, and it continues simply because we don’t take the time to examine and become aware […]
Your Thoughts – The Bricks and Mortar of Your Life
When we begin to look for answers (especially in times of troubles), generally the topmost question we have is, “How did things get to be the way they are for me?” Many of us go through a stage where we blame other people, luck, and a million other things for what’s around us. But If we’re diligent […]
Mental Health and Spirituality – Part II
In the first post in this series two weeks ago, we looked at general circumstances regarding the connection between spiritual experience and mental illness. We will now get a bit more specific. A question was asked about how entity attachments can occur. That depends. First a definition: an “entity” as we use it is any […]
What’s Really Holding You Back?
Many years ago when I was in high school, I was what was known as a “chronic underachiever”. My grades were terrible…I intensely disliked the social atmosphere in school, and the material and mind-numbing repetition of most courses bored me. In senior year, one morning my homeroom teacher gave me a file folder and told […]
Negative Validation – Sometimes the Best
Like most people, it’s taken me a number of years to build my belief system to its present state. I’ve written here several times and in depth about what I think it takes to build a solid framework of belief. For me personally, although I do work very intuitively once I have that framework within […]
Are You Lazy?
Share on Facebook Like many of us, I come from a hardworking, blue collar background. My parents and extended family pretty much busted their asses in postwar America to provide their children with the American Dream…and it paid off. After the second World War my Dad settled into construction work, eventually going into business for […]
