Why You Really Are Good Enough
By
David Starlyte
Suffering… It’s a human trait to go through challenges that bring about suffering. I wonder if it’s even possible to go through life and avoid at least some form of suffering, mental, emotional, physical or spiritual. It is not always suffering that defeats people – it is more the attitude to suffering that is cultivated…
How to Live with Limitless Possibility
By
David Starlyte
What is the great void of limitless possibility that lies within the vastness of the infinite universe – Does such a thing exist and how do we tap into it? Can we use this field to change the things we don’t like about ourselves? Is this field encapsulating space and time, or does it go…
Freeing the Ego
By
David Starlyte
The EGO is the source of many (or all) of our problems – failure to accept our reality and our power and responsibility in its creation. The matrix of the reality we have created for ourselves may seem complex, especially when we fill it with external and often empty entertainment, media, TV, film, internet, social…
Are You a Victim of Gaslighting?
By
David Starlyte
Are you being gaslighted? gaslight: manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. Gaslighting is a form of narcissistic abuse where a person, by way of manipulation, starts to question their own perception. Does the following seem familiar? “You’re imagining things.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You’re being over-sensitive. It’s all in…
Love in a Time of Cholera
By
David Starlyte
Life is so fragile. Sometimes little dramas are sent to test us – see where we are. Always we find confidantes and allies, and the Holy Spirit will send little helpers and small (or big) miracles our way. It is the gentle message from Spirit that we are loved beyond measure. We are all a…
The Light that Shines from Within
By
David Starlyte
TV blaring the “false” news from across the globe, social media screaming out events of friends and workmates, text messages bubbling over and missed calls on mobile phones…to the sounds of thunderous traffic outside, engines blurring, honking – where is the peace? Is this life – how is it supposed to be? Who are “we”…
The Greatest Quest: The Search for Meaning & Finding our Calling
By
David Starlyte
As seekers in the West, we seem to have lost our way in how we interpret capitalism and our soul’s yearning for spiritual sustenance. A spiritual void came out of disconnecting from the land and losing our traditional roots. Aboriginal cultures are deeply rooted to nature and their connection to the land, and this means…
Dissecting Dharma to Find One’s Real Purpose
By
David Starlyte
Hollywood has been promoting a myth since the beginning of film – an exaggerated or idealised conception of our purpose that places us at the apex of a treadmill towards a glorified and outward “success” placed at the end of our struggles. It is the capitalist dream to perpetuate consumerism and encourage retail therapy. The myth is…
The True Meaning of Dharma
By
David Starlyte
We in the west have been sold a myth hook, line and sinker. This myth is pervasive in the media – the same which glorifies fame and its story of success. Its delusional imprint has been borrowed by the West’s “spiritual teachers”. Hollywood has been promoting this idea since the beginning of film: an exaggerated…
Manchester, a Time for Contemplation
By
David Starlyte
Manchester burns—another wound in humanity’s chest. If our immediate reaction is shock, horror and grief, then perhaps we become angry. This serves a purpose, and it is healthy to be angry when attacked. If we can release our pain, stand with the victims in peace, and contemplate suffering and how we can shift the collective…
