feeling inadequate in some way; shame

Permission to Love

There are two things we need to know now and really only two:  love of self and love of others. Love is the foundation for everything else in our experience. We cannot live with integrity if we do not love ourselves. And that is key if we are to contribute as cosmic citizens in this year of 2017. It is not up to each of us to carry the world […] Read more »

Separation Anxiety

Anxiety is a form of fear, not love. It is mired in ego illusion. The deep illusion is separation from God. If we do not see that we are God we will forever see God as outside of us, and immediately, God is a thing with which we have to develop relationship. Given that this God is often seen as vastly larger than the small “me”, this perspective renders us […] Read more »

Spiritual Fence-Sitting is Not a Balancing Act

sitting on the fence

Do you feel like your fence-sitting? You don’t align with the polarity of darkness, and you do actively align with Light, but still it may seem as though you are not whole-heartedly choosing your God-self to lead you in your living. So you sit somewhere in between letting ego take charge now and then, and also consciously aligning with Light now and then. For the most part it feels as […] Read more »

Equation of Acceptance

you are enough

In meditation, I saw this clarity about ‘acceptance’: acceptance = acceptance of being here on Earth + acceptance of purpose + (accepting all others + being accepted) I asked “how?” for each part of the equation: acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + accepting myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + loving myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being […] Read more »

When Will ‘More’ Be Enough for You?

‘More’ – it’s a word that’s used profusely, full of hope and selling fulfillment. It seems that no matter where you turn, someone is offering you more – more food, more success, or more financial security, as though this will solve your craving. Seldom does this satisfy when made in promise of ego-gratification. Instead, consider that this four-letter word can be the source of much of your pain. ‘More’ likely […] Read more »

Self-compassion

(definition) Self-compassion: you in your fullest potential – right now! When we feel compassion for others, we open our hearts to bring love to suffering in the desire to alleviate it for them. Compassion for others is: * noticing their suffering * feeling with them in their pain * responding with kindness no matter what the circumstances * acknowledging the imperfection of the human condition, and loving anyway We are a […] Read more »

Releasing Struggle

Struggle is a very old paradigm that many generations have believed is a necessary part of life. That energy continues to manifest as difficulty with relationships, money, and many more aspects of human living, including spiritual development. Of late, as more awaken to the truth that struggle is control programming, palpable feelings of despair, exasperation at relentless patterns, and seed fears from earlier civilizations are being pushed to the surface […] Read more »

Peace in Simplicity

Driving in the countryside at this time of year feels like waking up from a delicious, afternoon nap; you know that you have to get up and move onto to other things but the cells in your body balk at the idea of any hurry. As you linger in the peacefulness, your senses slowly stirring, everything just feels good. That’s the way I felt as I let the open road free […] Read more »
