Are you aware how you project your perspective upon others? Until you awaken, the human remains in a fixed position, seeing the world only from one viewpoint. Imagine yourself in a sphere, a limitless theater-in-the-round, and all other humans have their fixed viewpoints. Projecting yours upon them, thinking they view [...]

Be careful how you claim illnesses and diagnoses. These are visitors in your vehicle, imbalances that you may wish to use as opportunities to clear out that which caused the imbalance. The moment you give a name to this visitor and place it after the two very important words, “I [...]
Picture thoughts like a swirling maelstrom of clouds around a clear, still center. You are not the clouds. You are the Awareness at the center and that in which the clouds appear. When L.I.F.E. pulls you into a state of confusion or tumult, get your head out of the clouds. [...]
“You can’t see the forest through the trees” is a phrase that can be interpreted on several levels. And so, it is with life. You can see life and each other at the tree level, where each one stands as a separate entity and you can widen the lens of [...]
