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 […]
Motorvation – Three Ways to Get Going
As you probably already know from looking at this website, I’m a motorcycle enthusiast. I love motorcycles. I hesitate to use the term “biker” nowadays because it’s become so diluted that it has little meaning. But I’ve sampled the subculture that the term used to imply – it was fun, but not of […]
Do-It-Yourself Enlightenment?
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 […]
Pardon Me, But Haven’t We Met Before?
Soul groups? There’s a lot of information and speculation out there around the topic of “soul groups”. As in anything along spiritual lines, there is no right or wrong, per se. One can’t positively “prove” any of the information, except to oneself. But you can work through the available concepts and see what makes […]
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 […]
Who Are You, Really?
As we go through life handing the bumps and bruises that we all get a taste of, there’s a learning curve. Of course, the very way that we do handle that stuff determines how tough it’s going to get. Learn the lesson, it gets easier. Keep doing the same stuff, and the lesson continues until we […]
Do You Have a Soul Mate?
Short answer, no. Now, since I know that’s going to leave some people scratching their heads (and more than a few more than a little pissed), allow me to elucidate. 🙂 Contracts vs. free will… The prime gift that we have in this Earth school is free will – not all systems work that […]
Life Purpose: The School of Hard Knocks?
I believe that the whole point of life on this planet is to have experiences on behalf of our Creator (Source, God, Consciousness…). At the same time, those experiences are intended to be the vehicle for us to learn and evolve; this is our basic life purpose. We perceive these as physical experiences, but the ultimate […]
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 […]
