[Transcribed from podcast ep. #194] I really love this quote because it speaks to the concept of faith, and faith that there’s something bigger than self—God, your higher self, Source, the Universe, whatever you want to call it—doesn’t matter; it’s all the same thing: consciousness—it is working through you, but when you are trying to [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #192] I really resonate strongly with this quote and this teacher in general; he has so much profound insight… this certainly is profound; a certain darkness is indeed needed to see the stars. Without that contrast—without the darkness, without the downside… without the “negative,” without all the difficulties and challenges that [...]

[Transcribed from podcast episode #190] This quote hit me very impactfully; it’s such a powerful truth, I believe—the love that you withhold is equivalent to the pain that you carry. We’re all holding back; I can think of myself and it’s something that I have experienced in my own life, in relationships—particularly with people really [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #187] How many of us are living our lives from the perspective of, “I’ve got to get it in now. Whatever I’m doing, I gotta do before I die, or else it’s all over. All is lost; this is all I’ve got…”? Time, right? “I’ve only got so much time…” When you [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #185] This is such a profound statement—and one that I think everyone can relate to who’s gone through personal development and growth. As you sort of come alive, come awake and re-member who and what you truly are, it’s such an exciting time in personal development and self-growth—so many people are [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #184] I love, love, love this quote because, how often in our society our mental, brain-based intelligence measuring-society, do we look at someone and say, “oh, what’s your GPA?” “What’s the job title that you have?” “How intelligent are you, what’s your background—what do you know…?” We’ve really lost ourselves as a [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #182] You can take a deep breath and relax—you’ve always thought… so many people have always thought, they have to DO something in order to GET something. How do I get from A to B? How do I acquire more abundance? More financial freedom, improved relationship status? How do I do [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #180] I love this quote because, when you really understand who and what you are… essentially, when a scientist is studying the atom, it is a group of atoms studying itself (laughs). When we’re gazing back into the Cosmos, and we are trying to understand how stars work and how the [...]

For many of us, claiming personal power in our lives feels like a double edged sword. We want to express our wants and needs, we want to move in the direction of fulfilling them, but if you’ve been a people-pleaser all of your life, taking that step may feel like it requires stepping ON someone [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #174] I wanted to share this quote, or this concept; I had a longtime friend of mine post something online the other day and it was very depressing… you know, “Get the job, buy the TV… eat the food, watch the shows…” Obviously you could see there was so much disillusionment [...]

It is my personal understanding that there is an additional dimension to the concept of the unknown, the “dark” referenced in the quote above. We tend to associate the unknown with anxiety, with fear, and darkness is certainly the antithesis to light according to the classic paradigm—but what if there is an inherently creative, powerful [...]

I think there is always need for a reminder about the lighter side of life, the fact that laughter and joy can really be the best medicine so often… I am reminded daily of the fact that our species is, unfortunately, afflicted with a sort of collective mental illness that infects virtually all. It is [...]
