Venerable ancient Eastern spiritual traditions like Daoism, Zen and Buddhism share some common roots and a capacity for using words to convey concepts beyond immediate experience and ordinary perception. Daoism famously speaks of the “Way that cannot be named” as a metaphor for that ineffable Creator, at once in the world but also transcending it, [...]

What is Love? This is a very big question. A big question that usually brings many answers. What do you think Love is? We know that Love is patient; Love is kind…it is joy and it is peace. But, is that really all that Love is? If you’ve seen the movie Wedding Crashers, you remember [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #315] A great way to approach our daily interactions with others is to look at it like a game. Typically when we bump up against others in our daily lives we are thinking of them and us. We think they are external to the self. They want something, I want something, we [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #308] Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now, talks about Dissolving the Pain Body (chap. 6). The pain body being the part of self that needs healing, the ego-self.  Essentially, whenever you get angry or upset or negative it is almost like being possessed and taken over. We acknowledge this as part [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #307] When you focus on the things you are grateful for it opens you to the source of all those things. What a great and beautiful concept. When I am focused on appreciation or gratitude, what am I doing? I am getting into the vibrational pull of the source from which those things emanated. [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #305] I would say, that déjà vu is a reassurance from my higher self that I am where I need to be. When you realize that time is an illusion, it is essentially just like a TV channel that you’re tuning into. At this moment your fifth birthday party is currently going on [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #304] There are many different kinds of dreams. Each associated with a feeling of it’s own, which varies for each individual. The most common are symbolic dreams. These are the ones that are confusing. They are a way for our higher self to communicate messages. Prophetic dreams can tell you what is [...]

We are certainly ringing in some new and exciting times. In times of extremes, we are given the opportunity to examine what our triggers are, and how we will subsequently choose to behave. What sound or what vibration do we want to choose to ring? None of us are perfect. In fact, our imperfections are [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #223] It’s so easy in these times to get so complicated with our lives, and to (get) so caught up in the race, so to speak—and all these ideas and comparisons, strivings to make something of ourselves, to (have) some status, climb the social ladder, so to speak… I believe this [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #204] I chose this quote today because, as I mentioned at the top of the show, I recently did an ayahuasca journey and what came up for me has come up most of the times—I’ve done five of these—is fears; unrealistic fears, things that are sort of under the surface in myself [...]

[Transcribed from podcast ep. #200] This quote is very, very popular; many of you have probably seen it because it is such a powerful, impactful truth about our place and time in evolution on this planet. So many people strive for power and control, and it means so much to them: they don’t realize that [...]

[Transcribed from podcast #198] What a wonderful quote this is—learning to ignore… I’ve spent so much of my life defending my idea of what is right and wrong—and with great enthusiasm and vigor arguing with people, whenever I have the chance, about why I’m right—and, from maybe many people’s perspectives… people would be in agreement [...]
