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 […]
Enjoy Your Self!
July 29, 2014 By Leave a Comment
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 […]
Are You P*ssed Off? Great!
January 14, 2014 By Leave a Comment
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!
November 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment
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
September 30, 2013 By 4 Comments
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) […]
Where Did My Mojo Go?

Back when I began doing this work, I intended to help everyone. I was going to pull the lowest of the low out of the pit of despair. I was going to help heal the sick and lame, the addicts, the mentally ill – everything short of raising them from the dead. And so, […]
Who Do You Trust?

That was the name of an American quiz game show of the late 50’s. Three married couples competed, and it mostly consisted of the husband choosing whether to answer a question himself, or to “trust” his wife to answer it. I know, I know… ladies please don’t kill the messenger! I was only ten […]
Are You Too Special to Succeed?
July 19, 2013 By 2 Comments
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 […]
Do-It-Yourself Enlightenment?
July 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment
When it comes to development of any kind… spiritual, personal, mental, emotional… many of us try to go it alone at first. This is especially true of men, I think; and “smart” people of any gender have spent so much time learning that there is so much wrong information out there that they’ve come […]
Are You a Proud Sufferer?
February 25, 2013 By 2 Comments
Sometimes we cling to the strangest things… including some weird and destructive ideas about ourselves that can be self-fulfilling. The most common of these is the pride that many of us take in our past suffering. I’ve done it myself many times, and so have you. There’s probably only a 50/50 chance that you’re […]
