Healing and Transformation

  Unhappiness and feelings of emptiness are familiar to many. What are the roots of our discontent? In our current system, everything is driven by feeding a system with an insatiable appetite. Without demand, suppliers cannot survive, so it is imperative that demand is stoked, fueled, twisted, and ensured by whatever means ethical or not. The…

  Cruelty; Betrayal; Hurt; Sadness; Guilt… the list of difficult emotions goes on… So long as we allow it to! All these emotions are “suffering” (mostly) at the hands of another person or people. Every person on this planet has felt hurt justifiably or unjustifiably—it’s the human condition. Can one escape it? Hardly. To be…

I believe the most important missing ingredient from our world today is the “soul.” The so-called scientific revolution’s success at brainwashing of society to reject the soul, has meant so many people have been starved of relating to the world in terms of having a soul, and seeing other people’s souls reflected back. We have…

Wounds fester and burn unless you face your darkness, your shadow, your disowned self, that which you reject about yourself.   I am calling for freedom. The kind of freedom that makes your soul cry out for joy, diving into the sea of possibility as if its life depended on it, as if it were…

How do others hurt us? Every person on this planet has felt hurt justifiably or unjustifiably (does it matter?) – it’s the human condition. It’s impossible to escape such feelings unless you reach a state of “enlightenment.” Regarding feeling hurt at the hand of other people, on a fundamental level, they can only do this…

How do you deal with opponents – those who oppose us? Interesting, we all have opposition. Every person has those who are against them. I can think of hardly any exceptions to this rule. In fact, the greatest people faced the greatest opposition. The most important the cause, often the most difficulties and challenges to…

We are each other’s mirrors. Everything we see in another is a mirror of who we are. There is nothing we can imagine that we are not part of. There is nothing we care about that is not already part of us… How you perceive others is a reflection of you. Your perception of others…

The ego is a reflection of confusion and fear. With greater awareness comes the opportunity to dissolve this illusion of limitation. Much can be much greater, much broader. Everything around you that you call life, is made up of possibility. You can change things, build, improve things. This is not illusion – this is fact……

How can we heal and transform ourselves so that our true light, wholeness and depth of being can be expressed in the world? 1. Face our fears. 2. Accept that suffering is part of the human experience. 3. Accept our whole self, naked. Why is suffering such an important component in this formula? Suffering is real,…

Inhibiting us from freedom is the big lie. Along with our fears, our wounds, our misconceptions, the big lie has sucked us in for generations. I’ve had enough of the big lie. It’s time we faced it and stopped swallowing it. It’s time to vomit it out forever. It’s time to be free. The big…
