Getting through the Storm Riding the waves of change And what a gift all this change is. There is a lot of change going on. A tempest of sorts. The collective subconscious of all of humanity is coming up to the surface. We are seeing our shadow(s). We are seeing sides of humanity that we would have never known about without all this change. Riding the waves of change isn’t always easy. Sometimes we just want to go hide away somewhere where we can just relax. Lucky for you, there is a metaphorical “Garden of Eden” within you now. A place of immense peace and tranquility. It has been there every moment of all of your existence. The day you were born, your Innate Self was there. Your Innate Self is the Self that is always there. Your ego, your personalities, and all of that changes with time. But your…

Risk is too … Risky Better play it safe Do you trust yourself? How do you know if you trust yourself if you are taking every precaution to ensure your protection. To be clear, I am not bashing watching out for yourself. But that doesn’t get you off the hook, as to the question … Do you really trust yourself? I find it curious that over the decades I have taken such questions, on my own, and put them to the test. There were several years that I looked at the notion of trust. True trust even when the environment would suggest a more cautious approach. For many years, I had one question … Am I safe? No other information but a yes or no. I was driving my vintage car down the highway late at night, with my kids in the car. All of a sudden the steering wheel…

The Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment What brings you Joy For many of us we are living a life in the fast brain. With our phones, social media, the news and all of the massive changes that are going on in the world around us. I get that it can be difficult when we are being tugged in so many directions. Oftentimes our minds are challenged and stressed to make the right decisions. When I talk about the Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment, I am talking about your heart, your soul and your ego. Your ego, all by itself, can decide if you will live your life by day-trading stocks and taking lavish vacations. Perfect. You have free will. You are free to live your life any way that you choose. Your ego might be satisfied and fulfilled, at least for a while, with such a strategy. But millionaires jump…

The Pain and the Pleasure Two sides of the same coin Heaven and hell are here now. Someone somewhere is experiencing tremendous pain and suffering. Through war, trafficking, domestic violence or any other of the ways humanity tortures itself. Hell personified. Likewise, babies are being born. First-time parents are holding a miracle in their arms. People are getting back on their feet after perhaps many struggles and challenges. The idea that a single mom, perhaps living out of her car, with her children, finally gets a place of her own. She walks into her new place and closes the door. She has a safe haven for herself and her children perhaps for the first time in a long time. Flavors of heaven. What have you felt? What is the range of emotions you have felt for perhaps the last three months? Have you felt heaven? Have you felt hell? Or…

No one is holding you back It’s all You! As you are the creator of your human experience, you are never stuck. We live in an impersonal arena of creation. Gravity is impersonal. Electricity is impersonal. Karma is impersonal. Emotions are an impersonal mechanism we are all experiencing. The whole arena we are experiencing is an impersonal opportunity for ourselves. The life outside of us is a reflection of our own persona. Period. We decide it all. I think what throws us off, is just how deep our imprinting is. We have accumulated countless belief systems, attitudes, preferences and such over many lifetimes. Since we are born into this life with an established set of karmic stigmas from our past, we don’t ever experience ourselves without those stigmas. Our “normal” day-to-day experience is metaphorically riding on top of our accumulated karmic stigmas from our past. We can go our whole life…

There are no requirements. The choices you make will decide. As you wish. We are creatures of habit. They say it takes 21 days to establish a new habit. I would add to that it might take 21 days to completely release a habit. Recently, I had a complete and total erasure of my habits. All of them. The good ones and the not so good. I really didn’t have a choice. When I spent 7+ weeks flat on my back in a hospital bed, those 21 days of habit forming and habit erasing did its thing well before I had even reached the halfway point. It is a very odd thing. Very strange. I get up in the morning, and there is no semblance of “what to do.” None. Not even a memory. I walk around my house and look at things, perhaps parts of projects I was working…

Are you going to do it? Time waits for no one. Do you have any ideas that seem to keep showing up? Has it been a while? How long does it take for you to take actions on your ideas? Perhaps you have thoughts like … write a book. Go back to school. Take that arts class. Volunteer at the … You get the idea. When I wrote my first book, it took me six years. I get it. I mean, sometimes when we go to start something completely out of our previous wheelhouse, we want to see the whole journey before we take the first step. Because … what if? What if nobody wants to read my book? What if I fail? What if I can’t do it? These are known as risks. There are no guarantees how it will turn out if you sincerely try. But there is…

Les is back … well, almost I have had a life-changing experience It is like I fell into an active volcano, got burnt down to just ashes, and have finally climbed my way back out. Your life can change in an instant. It started one quite normal morning. I was eating breakfast, in a hurry, and just shoved a huge bite into my mouth. What I didn’t know was that an extremely rare event took place in that moment. That huge bite completely shut down my digestive tract in an instant. Like metaphorically taping my mouth shut. No food in at all. If I tried to eat anything, even a tiny pain pill, it would be instantly expelled from my mouth. I had created a complete  blockage by having my ability to take in nutrients completely shut down. This is something I had never heard of before. In an instant, my…

Change Your Karmic Momentum Karma, like gravity, is impersonal The scale that our human persona can be “programmed,” so to speak, is vast and deep. When we take on more and more karma, the probabilities of our future collapse into a much narrower range of possibilities. When I talk about our psyche being “programmed,” it can happen on many different levels. We can program ourselves, and others can program us, if we are not conscious about it. In this blog, I will talk about how we program our own psyches. The elephant in the room, so to speak, at least how it relates to our programming, is our childhood. Look no further than your family of origin to see where the deepest ingrained imprinting has happened in this lifetime of yours. We can easily think that we have grown out of it. That is to say, as adults, we can…

Grow Your Sense of Self We are never completely stuck There are octaves or spectrums of wisdom within you now. Perhaps without end. You always have another moment. Thus, you always have another moment to make a new choice and thus create a new outcome. One of the aspects I have noticed within myself is my soul. Of course my soul has “been here” my whole life. But I, as my ego, didn’t recognize the intelligence or wisdom of my soul until more recently. It is not that I am psychic enough where I “see” my soul and have some kind of mystical interaction with it. But rather, it is that still small voice within me now. Although the still small voice is here if I look/listen for it, the insights it has for me are anything but small. There are no requirements for ourselves. We are given fierce free…

You didn’t do it Wrong Karma takes it upon itself Karma, by its very nature, removes you from your “truth” or “power.” In other words, as you “take on” more and more karma, you are separating from your own power. We can think of karma as a method or mechanism that humans have that loads up our psyche with an illusion of sorts. Not only does karma collapse our choices of each moment, but it can also get us to prefer a particular way of living, even though that “particular way” of living doesn’t support us. What I mean by that is as we take on more karma, we are loading up our psyche with feelings and memories that can be very challenging for us. We can have a preference for avoiding our karma. A common example of this is addictions. Addictions come in many flavors. People can become addicted…
