You Seem So At Peace - HOW? 11:01

2+ y ago11:01

11:01

Most of us know that peace is freedom from disturbance or a place of tranquility. What if it is stopping the repetitive thought of your inner critic or bully? A decision to seek a sensation that only comes through the open window in the center of your chest...the heart's intent. Making such a decision activates the two other voices inside you that …

The Humane Spectrum an Evolutionary Step 20:44

2+ y ago20:44

20:44

There are several forces that we use to construct our reality. These include spiritual gravity, weak, electromagnetic, and strong. The ego is rooted in the unconscious psychological logic of the rational or irrational and attempts to interpret life through a two-dimensional objective lens. In contrast, our heart or body consciousness (i.e., presenc…

We Are WHAT We Were First & This Matters! 9:56

3y ago9:56

9:56

Life begins as a reverberating, intelligent, observing burst of light I’ve come to know as your signature expression. This quality that many would call “soul” is a unified field of subjective consciousness that predates ego and “who am I?” by more than two years. Why should we care about this? Because this unique reverberating signature assumes (li…

Spiritual & Orchestrating Intelligence 8:08

3+ y ago8:08

8:08

Teachers will tell you that spiritual intelligence is the capacity to conduct your life in such a way that it reflects a deep understanding of reality and yourself. A depth that is discovered through personal experiences and systematic spiritual pursuit. While this is true it is an ‘after what happened first’ definition. You are born out of a consc…

Spiritual Gravity - A Contemporary Predicament 9:31

3+ y ago9:31

9:31

The spiritual gravity hypothesis states that there is an electromagnetic constant within the human experience affecting the push-pull and mass of our heart and ego. The formula indicates that when the ego is exaggerated in size and operating without the heart as compass, human suffering is increased tenfold.…

There Is An ART To Inner Work 7:32

3+ y ago7:32

7:32

As most of you know, inner work is the core foundation of the spiritual path. Without it, we’re fumbling around in the dark trying to find our way. There’s no purging, healing, transformation, or awakening without cultivating and understanding your inner life. Tune in this week as we briefly talk about the lost art of inner knowing.…

Nothing is more important to mental wellness than a physical sense of ‘where’ someone is in their life and circumstances.

Our full ability to navigate this existence requires t…

You Can't Put a Mask on the Human Shadow 9:57

3+ y ago9:57

9:57

“The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.” -Jung-…

Did you know that more than half of all bottled water comes from the tap. Meanwhile, a million bottles are bought around the world every minute. That’s roughly 20,000 bottles every second. These mind-blowing figures are driven by concerns over contaminated water. Most of us can’t tell the difference. Many of us feel the present is contaminated in t…

Presence and the Existential Fishbowl 8:27

8:27

Humanistic and existential philosophy assumes that people want to live better lives. In the humanistic view, the assumption is that we strive to be our best selves. In the existential view, the assumption is that we strive to live meaningful lives. While these two concepts are similar and may lead to identical results, capturing an image in our hea…

It Seems We Remember WHAT We Are 12:19

https://www.etsy.com/shop/TinyBookBIGQuestionsPart of the reason we remember an egoless place is because we come from an egoless place. So, were not discovering this dimension we’re actually remembering it. This suggests that truly spiritual people have a pre-thought memory of being there and want to return. In contrast, religious people define the…

It’s been said that the mind is not a container to be filled, but a fire to be kindled. Nobody fuels this fire better than those who choose to guide us along our journey. Mentoring is an archetypal activity that’s as timeless as life itself. The old and young coming together as opposites, often while secretly identifying with the other. This Innerl…

Division is Real - Separation is an Illusion 7:01

The peace and contentment most of us seek is obtained when our inner world is congruent with the external, not the reverse. The genius of the human psyche is that when it is out of alignment, it sends a signal to the heart. If you didn’t know, this disturbance is because the ego is mistakenly viewing itself as our compass. Medication of such emotio…

Intuitively, it certainly seems like a contemplative life in stressful times is a good thing. But, like any practice, it takes a certain level of commitment and is, of course, a process. Many would argue that there is no panacea or a “one size fits all” which I would agree. But, in my experience with trauma there is, at a minimum, an 'orientation t…

It has been my experience that spiritual growth is an endless process of suffering the ego awake. Said differently, healing the past so the we can fully live in the present. There are very specific moments of adversity that will slowly melt the ego’s defenses. Dissolving the ego is necessary because most of us are unaware that 'the way’ we chose to…

Research shows that another person’s moods are as easy to catch as their germs. Spiritual folks tend to call this ‘negative energy’ which is a little inaccurate. It is only negative if you are unprepared to 'catch’ or absorb it. There are ways to insulate yourself but, this takes practice. Importantly, the protection is grounded in ‘where’ you are …

What is the definition of evil? Typically, it is considered profoundly immoral behavior with other synonyms like wicked, bad, wrong, and sinful. The opposite or antonym for evil is, of course, good or virtuous. So, there it is… evil is a moral judgment that labels behavior as wicked or sinful. But, what about ethics. It turns out that ethics refer …

Most of us were taught in school that metaphors were poetic or rhetorical tools. Our innerlivesmatter because metaphor is how the soul observes and teaches us context.

Individuals suffering with addiction are more than their demons or wounds. In other words, they are more than their egos.

I think it’s safe to say that to be connected to one’s inner life doesn’t begin to capture the depth of a lifetime commitment to spiritual growth. But...there is a single focus one can use as a beginning. By that I mean, living an ethical or compassionate existence versus one that is ego-driven. This would be no small deal. You can wait for a wake-…
