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!
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 […]
Let’s Get Real
You hear it all the time from the spiritual/coaching community: step up! Be seen! Spread your message! Be all that you can be (thanks to the US Army for that one)! Inspiring indeed. And true… we should all constantly be growing, learning, evolving, and using our own particular talents to the greatest degree possible. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
