Our pure anger energy has the power to blast us out of perpetual suffering and into a new realm of what it means to be human. Our anger - just like a rocket being propelled out of the earth's atmosphere into 'space' and ultimately into the magnetic field of another planet or the moon - is the power to propel us there. Without access to our anger, we are all but doomed. For no other human or non-human energy - beyond the purity of LOVE Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #12 – Acceptance
Acceptance is the end of suffering. It is the final stage in grieving. It is the readiness to move on. When we are in acceptance we are out of control - out of our attempt to dominate our own outcome. The energy field of acceptance - just like all of the human emotions on this 'map' - is far more vast than the word suggests. When we are in acceptance, we are in a state of trust. We are in a state of willingness to participate and do Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #5 – Fear
Fear is the domain in which many people live. Our media feeds on this. Fear sells. Fear is an absence of faith - an absence of trust in ourselves, the universe and the ultimate goodness of humankind. Many people live in mind-made stories which evoke fear. Most fear is not 'real' - it is not a response to real and true danger in the moment. Most fear is a negative 'food source' of our mind. When you notice that you feel afraid, ask 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
Re-Sensitizing Our World
Our collective malaise is simply this: We are out of touch. Because we have numbed ourselves to our own inner wounds - in a valiant attempt to keep functioning, to 'survive' - we have simultaneously numbed ourselves to the world around us. When we are not alive in the 'Now', we are not noticing the ecological and human issues that impact us all: famine, disease, war, corruption, draught, pollution, global warming Continue Reading
What Makes A Leader A Leader?
Firstly, I'd like to qualify that just because someone promotes a popular opinion and has many followers, this doesn't intrinsically make them a Leader in the essential definition I am about to present. Many people 'lead' through might, brutality and peer pressure. These manipulative tactics can be physical, emotional and / or mental. Threatening to deprive someone of something essential is often enough to have them submit to coercion. This Continue Reading
Closeness
It’s always fun to watch people's response as they discover that my husband and I have known each other for eleven years. Their assumption is that we’ve just met! This fascinated bewilderment – and inspiration that registers upon their faces – is something we’ve been witness to for years. I’ve always known that we have an exceptional – a very unique – relationship. In fact, within our first year we were Continue Reading
