Rewind Your Past You are never stuck How do you feel about your past? Are there parts of your past you would like to erase? Or perhaps there are parts of your past that you would want to return to? How do you feel about who you have been over the years? Are you proud of what you have done? Or, perhaps, are you feeling shame, guilt, regret, sorrow or pain about your past? Blink your eyes. Do you know that all of your past is, metaphorically, on the “other side” of that blink? Your past is no longer deciding your future, unless you are still holding onto it. In other words, all of your past is behind you. You are (always) in fresh territory. Like a blank sheet of paper, or unexposed film. You are creating anew, in this and every moment. Every new moment exists outside of your…

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…

Is Life happening by You or to You? Karma can shift your perspective What if … you were born on the other side of the planet? In a completely different household? Who, or perhaps what, would you be now? In other words, how would your personality be different? Perhaps the polar opposite of what it is now. The “who” that you are now was all learned and/or imprinted on you. If you were to think of the metaphorical opposite of who you are now, could you become that now? For example, if you have a chronic disease now, could you become vibrant and healthy? If you are low income now, could you become high income? Can you see what I am getting at here? There is an energy to your upbringing. There is a mental construct to your mental demeanor. There is an emotional conditioning to you now. These things,…

The Ever-Evolving You! Without End You are never stuck. Well, unless you think you are. And even then, you can always re-decide. We are souls well-established on our journeys. We have loaded up our psyches with karma from our past. And this karma creates a momentum of sorts. A consistency of sorts in our everyday experiences. A lot of this momentum is found in our subconscious. You can imagine a huge supertanker out in the ocean. Laden with cargo. Riding low in the water. The top speed is quite slow. If this immense amount of mass wanted to just turn around, it might take an hour. And a mile of space in which to do it. Loaded up. Lots of inertia. The last moment similar to this moment. In a lot of ways, this metaphor is similar to ourselves. At least collectively. We have loaded up our psyches with karma.…
