Getting Clear about Your Life Clarity brings your purpose into focus Do you feel at home in your body? Do you feel on purpose with your life? Do you have a sense of peace within you now? You have been here on Earth for a while now. Are you getting the knack of your spiritual journey? Of your spiritual growth? All souls are looking for opportunities to grow themselves. Yet our egos cannot understand it all, the big picture, for years and even decades at a time. I could even say, even though you might feel connected to your life purpose now, is there a change coming? For myself, I had spent 30+ years fully committed to my spiritual growth. And yet in this last year or more, with the unexpected hospital stay and the trip to Egypt, I can easily say that I am in a completely new chapter…

Cleaning Your Karmic Lens What can you see happening for yourself? You have quite a bit of history in this lifetime of yours. The “world” you live in is something you are very familiar with. At least, as seen through your karmic lens. In other words, you have lived a life path that you have become very comfortable with. So, could we say, you know how the “world” works? What you have experienced, all throughout your life, is a reflection of you. It is not a static thing. Or maybe the better way to say it is that You are not a static thing. Even though you might have lived your life, up to now, having a consistent and perhaps predictable life experience, that does not mean that you are stuck in how you experience your life. Generally, we all have our own karmic imprinting or karmic programming of sorts.…

Your Journey is Up to You. You are the one creating your life. Could you change your life if you really wanted to? Are you karmically agile? Can you shift or change your active genres and archetypes? You are experiencing yourself (energetically) being mirrored back to you. If you do not change your energy, your inner chi, you will not see your reflection change either. It is your energy, your karmic energy, that creates your experience of your own life. The universe doesn’t need to change at all. Jesus, or your favorite savior, could come up to you now, and perform miracles for you. The universe would not need to change at all for that to happen. If you were to traverse your soul’s path to the moment you could create those very same miracles, you would be in the very same universe. Using another metaphor, if you are a…

Evolving through Your Karma Your karma is impersonal Got Karma? Most probably you do. Not that karma is a bad thing, really. It’s not. Sure, you could say, there is “good” karma and there is “bad” karma. But maybe, the better way to say it is that there are “easy” and “fun” karma (lessons) and “tough” and “challenging” karma (lessons). Karma, itself, is actually a fundamental part of BEing human. I guess you could say karma is a fundamental part of incarnating, from the soul’s perspective. Karma is so very patient. It will wait many lifetimes for us to “get it.” In other words, we can spend, as a soul, many lifetimes on just one karmic topic. Perhaps the karmic lesson is “deceit.” We could spend several lifetimes where we experience deceit from those close to us, over and over again. Until we learn the lesson. That is how we…

Out of the Chaos, Into the Calm Finding your way back Home The Truth of You has no worries. None. Your Soul knows that truth. All the worry and the fret is a byproduct of your mind/ego. We live in a world of constant change. And the rate of that change seems to be accelerating. How do we navigate so much change? Where is the “known” within all this change that we can hang our hats on? You can rest assured that you “make it.” You make it through all of your struggles and challenges. You, the BIG You, does make it all the way “back home.” The little you, your mind/ego, is changing every day. You will be a different person by the end of this day. Perhaps you are in the struggle(s) and challenge(s) of life right now. Wanting to get past it all. Wanting to make it…

Healing your Relationship with Love The Last Mile (of your Spiritual Journey) In the beginning … was the Light. Was the Love. The journey of our souls. You can think of the path, or journey, that our souls take having to start somewhere. It started in the Light, in the Love, of the Divine. In the beginning was the Light. Consciousness without karma. Love without condition. We then, as souls, chose to go into separation, karma and shadow. We journey into the darkness, into the shadow, until it is time to start our return to the Light. The return to our wholeness. We enter the shadow, or darkness, when we take on karma. Taking on karma is to separate ourselves from ourselves. Taking on karma is like fragmenting our consciousness. To posture with what is. Likewise, the journey back home is the re-integration of where we have fragmented ourselves. Resolving…

As you evolve, your perspective changes. You see your life in a new way. When we seek advice, we are wanting a different perspective. When we do not know the answers, we seek them out. This isn’t anything new, really. But what I want to point out is You. As we evolve our consciousness, we are shifting our perspective(s). When I was living a very difficult chapter of my life, I couldn’t see it for what it was. I am talking about a decade of working for a very mean boss. I would go into work every day, and he would belittle me. He would torment me. He was not a very nice man at all. “He” was the problem. Or so I thought. I was sure he was the source of my suffering. It couldn’t be “me.” As I spent years of bumping up against this tyrant, I was…

Karma, itself, has no motive or agenda It’s all You who decides your karmic experience Gravity, itself, doesn’t care if you stand up or fall down. The gravity isn’t biased either way. It is you that decides your relationship with gravity. Likewise, karma, itself, doesn’t care if you “get it” or not. The mechanisms of karma are as impersonal as the mechanism of gravity. You decide it all. All. I would say that the lion’s share of most people’s karma is related to their mental and emotional karmic stigmas, even though those mental and emotional karmic mechanisms are really timeless. We would do well to (start) teaching these basic karmic lessons in perhaps middle school. Right before the teen goes through puberty. I know I wasn’t taught anything useful about karma in my academic upbringing. I learned the hard way. Being ignorant of my own karmic tendencies, I spent decades…

Stuck in the Karmic Storm Finding your way out of the chaos Are you tired? Had enough? Can the chaos just stop? I just want it all to stop. It can certainly be challenging living on Planet Earth at this time. Certainly, there are paradigms showing up that we were not ever prepared for. Perhaps creating uncertainty and chaos. Here is the good news … you make it through. You always have. Indeed, here you are now. How many lifetimes did the world metaphorically collapse around you? And yet, here you are. There is nothing that can happen to prevent you from making it all the way through. We somewhat literally attach ourselves to the chaos of the collective with our unresolved karma. In other words, whatever we have not processed in our subconscious attaches us energetically to the collective narrative. Until it doesn’t. We tend to start our lives…

Which way is Heaven? Finding the Life that you Love. You are actually moving through possibilities. Constantly. All the time. You could imagine that there is a metaphorical fork in the road, in every moment of your everyday life. You are choosing, either consciously or unconsciously, what you will create in your life. Likewise, you are deciding where you will end up. The life you have now, you have created … yourself. The creation process is always on. You are always influencing your creation, as your life. Which way you “go” is decided by what you choose. You can create really anything you can imagine. But there are layers to us. Layers of effect within us. You can think of yourself as a ball of energy. Generally speaking, this metaphorical “ball of energy” is the totality of all of you … your conscious mind, your subconscious mind and your unresolved…

It gets easier, once you start doing the work. Coming out of the Dark. What’s this “Dark” I speak of? It’s your karma. Karma, as a human experience, is not personal. At all. All of your suffering and challenges are not personal. There are billions of people going through the same types of experiences. Sure, yours are unique because your own karmic accumulation is unique. Impersonal and yet unique. Karma itself is pretty cool. I would even say karma is graceful and elegant, in that whatever you reject or posture with, is stored in your subconscious. Like a running total of sorts. What is actually your karma, was decided by … you. Maybe not consciously in the moment. But it was you that determined what your karmic composition would be. Just as I, as a child, instilled an avoidance behavior of feeling my anger. Everything I was avoiding was pushed,…
