Unraveling Our Past To re-unite with our Soul It does actually take conscious effort. Left unchecked, the ego will chase shadows until the end of time. It was, at least for a substantial part, our egos that loaded up our subconscious in the first place. You are infinite potential, in human form. But, so what? If you don’t do anything to e-x-p-a-n-d your sense of self, then, perhaps, you are just your ego looking for fulfillment in the reflection of the quantum mirror. In other words, looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, by chasing people, circumstances and a sense of validation from those external factors of your everyday life. The “world” you see outside of you, is a reflection of what is inside of you. Everything that pisses you off, is a reflection of unresolved parts of yourself on the inside of you that you have not resolved. Everything.…
Home for the Holidays The gift of family gatherings… Ding dong … and it begins. Time with our families can be such a joy for some of us, and for others, it can be such a burden. Each family dynamic is different in its own ways. Just like our family traditions. Perhaps you have had an opportunity to visit the family of a friend … and perhaps then you notice a change in your friend’s demeanor … as if when walking into their home, they become someone different. Our family of origin is a great place to do some soul-searching about ourselves. There are a few reasons behind this. One reason would be the idea that our soul consciously chose our specific family in which to incarnate. Our soul chose the specific family dynamic for the opportunities it would present in order to set us up to learn specific karmic…
Our Family of Origin Where DID we come from? Since none of us existed, well, at least as fully “developed egos” the day we were born … where DID we come from? Where did this “you” reading this … come from? Our family of origin, whatever that dynamic might have looked like, created us. Well, not literally, but yes, quite literally. What I mean is that when we were just babies, we were started on an indoctrination program. It started pretty simple. Learning our first words. Experiencing annual celebrations. Birthdays, religious holidays, national holidays. And the real clincher is that was we were taught the values of each and every symbol, event and belief. And those who taught us, were indeed taught by their families of origin too. Like a baton passed along in a relay race, we have this temporal lineage of sorts. And certainly this lifetime has its…
Walk This Way What is the “right” way to live? Where are you going? What do you intend to experience in the future? Who do you want to be? We are all on a journey … of sorts. I find it quite curious, this notion of ourselves. Who am I? Who are You? As we progress through our lives, we have so many opportunities to change. Some of us are living quite intentional lives. With a clear sense of direction. And others are seeking a firm path to walk on. A clearer sense of who they really are. Nobody had an ego the day they were born. In a sense … there was nobody home. And then we grew an ego. We grew a sense of self. And if we all took a moment and wrote down how we viewed life, we would have many very different views of what…
It is Who You become … The journey changes YOU! It is through our growth that we are given an opportunity to evolve our consciousness. To evolve your own consciousness is, perhaps, the most satisfying thing to do. Sometimes we can look at struggles in our life like some kind of punishment. Like some unfair weight put on our shoulders. Indeed, on this planet, there are plenty of people who find their life to be very difficult. Many find it to be too much. Checking out of life before their intended time is up. Surrendering their own life because of the struggles and challenges in their own life. For myself, I have found myself curled up in a ball, alone, on the kitchen floor. With so much pain in my life. So much pain and heartache. There have been moments in my life where a hot metal spear, thrust into…
Let Your Ego Go … Where are You coming from? There are several schools of thought as it relates to our egos, and the path of awakening. Some say to extinguish the ego. To dissolve it into nothingness. To be rid of our egos. And then there are others that say the ego has a role. That it is a part of the whole. Certainly the ego can “take charge” of your consciousness. ALL of it. A constant stream of die-alogue Die in the sense of a shutdown of sorts. When the ego consumes every waking moment, there is a death. An end. Or perhaps not even a beginning. Our egos can dominate our consciousness. Leaving no room for our heart and soul to inspire us. There are those that don’t have any input. They don’t create any chance or opportunity for the IN-spiration of their heart and soul to…
Healing self. Creating Self. Living an intentional life. Are you bi-polar? Are there two of You? Often when I write (and I do write often) I type the word self in two different ways. self and Self. self: Your ego. The “little” you. The ego that you have created. Self: Your Soul. The Divine consciousness within you now. The “BIG” You. On this planet, at this time, there is a prime objective of sorts. And that is to heal ourselves. Indeed. Yes. Let’s do just that. To heal ourselves is perhaps the most important thing there is for billions of people. In this context, when I say heal, I mean “to become enlightened.” To heal our karma. To end our personal suffering. And certainly this can directly relate to our bodies as well. The dis-ease of our body is a reflection of the dis-ease within our own consciousness. I think…
In the Flow … Creation comes from the inside … OUT! So, chances are pretty good that you will eventually walk up and down stairs yet again. Not giving it a second thought. Pretty simple … right? Well there was a time that just to walk was a challenge. That gravity had you crawling around. So, chances are that you can create whatever you want. Yet there was a time, perhaps, that you watched the world around you and pretty much ignored the inspiration coming from within you. “Cell phone dis-ease” is a condition where our egos consume our consciousness. Pretty much ALL of it. Or perhaps … social media. Same symptoms. Same effect. Ego overdose. Yet your heart and soul have a vision for your life. Well, actually they have multiple tiers of visions … IF you actually show up to fulfill them. Our heart and soul dangle dreams…
Sages, Mystics and Alchemists … Oh My! Who are You going to become? Does Your wand work? Are You powerful? Can You own Your power? Is there someone else on the planet that deserves to own the power of their Divinity more than You? Does God/Goddess play favorites? I am sorry (no, I am not 😉 if you think you can keep reading these blogs and yet still consider yourself a mere mortal. That you might still see yourself as a seeker of the truth. That you are not here for a Divine purpose. That there is immense Power in Your purpose. At some point … You need to own it to honor it. You can’t poke at your Divinity with a stick, and think that you are honoring your life purpose. Sure … wait. And wait again … still waiting? Still waiting to own Your Divinity? Your dreams are…
No Growth … No Glory It is up to you Time is moving on. Opportunities are coming and going every day. And the universe carries on. There are no requirements. None really. We are given fierce free agency on this planet. Do, or don’t do, as you choose. But … IF you so choose … there is nothing you can’t do. We all have the potential for an infinite stream of inspiration flowing into our consciousness. Our Heart and Soul always have more information for us … IF we choose to listen and take action on it. There are plenty of people on Earth that are just getting by. Kind of like treading water. Not really going anywhere. And indeed life on Earth can be a struggle. But there are always new opportunities available. Always another opportunity to grow ourselves. And when we actually DO grow ourselves, we renew who we…
It Is All For You You have the best seat in the house We can find ourselves looking for it. Looking for a better experience. Perhaps we see other people enjoying themselves. Or we read something that makes us long for a particular experience. Or perhaps we just want to feel better. But you are it. You are sitting in the BEST seat in the house. What you want to experience is totally possible. It is the journey through time that will bring it about. And when you “get there” it will be in the moment that you feel it. In the body that you are living in right now. Indeed, everything that you will experience will be felt in the body you are in now. What will you feel today? What did you feel yesterday? To get more mindful of our present environment is to hone our ability to…
