If only we could access our anger and not be afraid of it … If only we could clear out our vast reservoirs of unexpressed anger … We could change the world in an instant. A mere blink. Anger is the most misunderstood of all the human emotions. And it is this very misunderstanding that is holding us back in our evolution as a species - and in the dawning of our co-creative relationship with the environment. If only … We can … Continue Reading
The Power of Anger – Syndicating the Book
Last week I witnessed a wave of Clients experiencing a challenge with anger – three in fact. As I shared with them several excerpts from The Power of Anger book, I realized that it is timely to ‘syndicate’ it – that is, to share the chapters of this book sequentially, here on URLight. I anticipate that I’ll intersperse sequential excerpts from the book with ‘Commentaries’ – Insights that arise in me, personally, or in relation to anger in Continue Reading
Abdication of Power – Part 2
When we retain our power, on the other hand, we become response-able again. We both maintain within ourselves the wisdom that is always there, that always knows, if we listen deeply enough, what it that we must do to pro-actively ensure our well-being and responsively course correct when it is amiss. And we retain the 100% responsibility for our outcome. This is frightening for many people simply because they haven’t practiced Continue Reading
Abdication of Power – Part 1
We have been taught – at least since several generations back – to abdicate our power and thus our responsibility to others: to others ‘outside’ of us, rather than to rely on and trust our own innate abilities, wisdom, and discernment. We have been taught – without even a word being spoken – at an early age to acquiesce the well-being of our body to a doctor; our teeth to a dentist; our mental health to a psychologist; our Continue Reading
Underwhelming the Overwhelm – Part 2
And so the isolation of the millions of people who do have tremendous power to influence change – the everyday people of this world – was being essentially ‘turned off’ as a result of their overwhelm and paralysis. Flip forward nearly twenty years, and what is the state of our current civilization? Thanks to the Egyptian, Libyan, and other middle eastern people, we’re all waking up – and remembering the power, innate in all of Continue Reading
Underwhelming the Overwhelm – Part 1
In 1992 (some of you may not have been born then!) I felt called to participate ‘live’ in the most important global gathering of the century – the United Nations Earth Summit, to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As I recall, some 180 heads of state gathered (an unprecedented showing) to discuss the critical implications of human development on the environment. Leading up to this monumental event, I noticed that something was Continue Reading
Claiming Your Gifts
What you hold in your hands is a treasure map. Within it lie great riches that become yours as you lay claim to them. You do this through Understanding and Practice. I suggest that you read the entire book through once to gain a sense of its scope. This canopy of context will infuse even greater power into your Understanding and Tools as you will have a sense of them in relation to the 'whole'. I recommend that Continue Reading
Why Commit? – Boldness, Genius, Power and Magic
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, Continue Reading
