Whenever I ask people if they are in love with their life, more often than not I get a look of hesitation that tells me that they don’t ask themselves this question much. They have to stop and ponder… I understand. Life keeps us busy and focused on what we do and the people we interact with—our jobs or businesses, family, relationships, and so on—and a lot of the time it also keeps us disconnected from our feelings. I used to never ask myself that question because I didn’t want to hear the answer.

Being happy is my message for you today. It seems so simple but yet so hard sometimes to keep that happy feeling. You might ask, “Why wouldn’t someone be happy, what is going on in a person’s life that would create otherwise”? Well, grouchiness can arise for us because of our mind set. What are we thinking about most of the time? Are we thinking happy and loving thoughts no matter what is going on in our lives and around us? Probably not! We have a tendency to continue to think about the unfavorable things in our lives more than we think about the good things in our lives.

There are basically two main powerful emotions that humans can experience and those are fear and love. All the others emotions are just sub-groups based upon fear and love. However it is only love that is the basis for all creation. Everything we do is coming from these two emotions. We are at all times thinking, speaking and acting from one of these powerful emotions. Love and fear are the only emotions we are able to communicate and connect with. For example, on love's side there is harmony, understanding, compassion, joy, peace, happiness, forgiveness etc.

At this particular point in time, there is not an accepted, unanimous, biological answer to the questio "what are dreams?”. The reason we don’t have an accepted answer to that question is due to the fact that at this point, modern, Newtonian based science does not recognize the element of “spirit” as it relates to physical life.

And because we are the furthest most ripple of that which we call source or god, when we reach out eagerly and without fear for that newer and richer experience, we carry source with us into that new place. And thus… the inevitable byproduct of life in the physical dimension is the evolution of all that is. The answer could end there.

Far too many people subscribe to the belief that they are their body, their identity, their beliefs, etc. Once more, they are seeking individuality — what makes them stand a part from all others. It is because of this many are constantly living a life of comparison in an effort to create a life or meaning. Yet, what this insinuates is that life lacks meaning to start with and nothing can be further from the truth. The truth is nothing exists outside of you, that their is no place that you are not, and that all things are projections manifested by you and representative of you.

Well over a decade ago, I started writing my first novel. My intention was not to publish it. It was just my way of exploring consciousness and having fun while doing so. At the time, I was just coming out of a decade’s worth of scepticism. The novel, Soul Surfer, was an attempt to reconcile my opposing belief systems. After having immersed myself in yoga, meditation and mysticism throughout my twenties, by the time I reached my thirties, I had become somewhat disenchanted. For the next decade, I devoted myself to my family and my work and put all that “nonsense” behind me.

My introduction to spirituality came in the summer of 1968 after I read Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi and started meditating. By the time I returned to college in September, my world had turned upside down. My previous values and ambitions had vanished and I was looking for a new, more spiritually meaningful lifestyle. The problem was, Yogananda's teachings didn't really resonate with me on a deep level, so I felt a bit like a ship without a rudder.

There is an old adage, “Life is what you make it,” and I couldn’t agree more. Life doesn’t need to be so complex; in fact, it can be easy and stress free! Sounds, too good to be true, right?

Marriage is not just the act of two people making their relationship public and permanent.

The study of meditation often crosses over into the belief systems of the cultures in which the meditative forms originated. Very often these beliefs are unfamiliar, conflicting, and perhaps not very useful for modern practitioners in Western societies. Examples of these might be devotion to various deities or acceptance of particular creation myths.

We are now living in times of constant change. For many it is a time of confusion, chaos and uncertainty as the world shifts from a place of fear to a place of love and light. We as a human race are beginning to awaken one by one to a new way of living, a new way of thinking and a new way of being. These changes will create a new 'reality' for everyone. During these shifts you may experience periods of time that cause you discomfort, overwhelm and uncertainty. Be assured that your awareness of these changes is going to

We are here as one, united by the consciousness of who we are. For who we are is the consciousness of our creator. Our creator who desires that we learn and grow to evolve who we are and who we are to become. The love and the light of the universe, the love and the light that is part of you all. This is your creation. This is your essence. Feel the pure bliss when you acknowledge that this is who you are. The light is within you. There is never a moment that you are not love and light.

Most all of us, if we’ve lived any length of time here on earth at all, carry some bodily scars from accidents. Are accidents karma? I certainly believe they are; the scars we carry are constant reminders of those incidents that happened long ago. When I shave in the morning, I see a small line on my chin where I cut myself on a broken baby bottle back in my infant toddler days. I certainly don’t remember this accident, as I was too young, but my face remembers. It remembers my mother telling me how I fell as a baby with my bottle that broke.r

We all have busy lives with deadlines and lots of demands. Yet why do some people remain calm and happy whilst others are bundles of stress? Here are 10 tips that can make all the difference! 1. Choose helpful thoughts Our thoughts can be the most troublesome of all stressors in life. We create thoughts which often take us to past regrets and ‘failings’ and anxiety about the future hence negative emotions. Stress free living begins when you stop torturing yourself with what could, should or would have been and live in the present. 2. Set realistic goals

An excerpt from the book What is Man. The title is not the title of the chapter. Those who want the best of both worlds, and that is quite a lot of us, will agree that we are the creation of an ete al evolutionary process by matter that has existed forever. And consciousness is a mere byproduct of this evolutionary process. To them, the idea of a planed, a well thought out by conscious effort, creation of all that is visible and invisible is ludicrous; because it would force them to be conscientious (truly grown-up).

Physically none of us are the same, even identical twins are never identical physically. However, two can spiritually be identical. Two conscious beings can have an identical conscience. Consciousness is life_it is the awareness of being. The magnitude of the consciousness is proportional to the awareness of the consciousness; and greater the intensity of the consciousness, greater it's Self–consciousness. To be self conscious is to be conscious of consciousness itself. And greater the 'self conscious', greater it's consciousness of the universal consciousness–Life–God.r

Looking back now, my path to A Course in Miracles probably all started in 1969 when I accepted Jesus my personal Lord and Savior, under the influence of the Campus Crusade for Christ. However, after joining a Christian brotherhood of aspiring monks, where I was daily quizzed on how many Bible verses I had memorized and could recite verbatim, I was totally confused by it all. Their version of reality just didn’t sit well with me. I felt like a parrot of Bible verses, that I didn’t even begin to understand, or the town crier that nobody wanted to hear. Jesus would show me more, much more.

Angel Letters are among my favorite tools for creating change in my life. I write my angels and often ask to see my life differently, as well as requesting answers to insolvable problems. I also ask for material “things” when I need them or am not sure how to take the next step in the life. Sometimes my answers come almost instantly. Other times, I may write many letters before I receive the desired response. But I always feel relieved about my troubles or conflicts after I write them.

Self-mastery begins with a decision, the determination to move forward no matter what. With all of the spiritual world and light-workers talking about the new world, it’s important to know what it entails on personal basis. Here’s the truth – self-mastery is not like a treat at the end of a class. It comes from devotion and dedication. Words can be read many times without an impact, and sometimes it’s easier to learn from stories, so here’s a personal example.

The steps involved in manifestation are simple, but failure can come for many reasons. Often, lack of persistence is the first cause. Meditation should take place every day, with no exception -- and the image must be very clear. Lacking an image, then one projects into a feeling. (Only a high frequency feeling like love or happiness will do.) Eventually, opportunity comes, and then action is required.

Today in meditation, I received amazing guidance. My whole being was inspired and tons of energy rushed through my body when I realized this so I will share it with you... In order to listen to the voice of my intuition, I find it absolutely necessary to sit in silence to meditate, pray and tune in. To experience happy relationships, I enjoy feedback and insights from people I care about and respect but the two certainly have very different roles to play in my life and probably in yours as well .

We are all co-creators. The difficulty lies in gaining consciousness of our abilities. Our fields open when we view a flower, child or star, and our energy contributes to the configuration of that field of beauty. Part of its beauty is imbued by our vision, through the sensory reflection of the object at hand. Unknowingly we create in each moment through our resonance, through the meshing of the fields of material objects meeting in ethereal form. A brief impression is formed as an electromagnetic memory, forgotten until once again revisited in later time.

The search for the soul can send your whole life crashing into darkness. I know because I have experienced it. The darkness is not a punishment from a vengeful God or a karmic retribution from a past life time. When the soul gathers enough light from meditation, right action and reflection, the old reality created by the ego simply falls apart. We move from darkness into light and into darkness many times on the journey of the soul. This is the experience of the crashing down of the world created by the ego, a structure that simply doesn’t fit into the agenda of the soul.

Every day is a new opportunity, a new beginning, an opportunity to live the life you truly want to live. Spirituality uplifts the human spirit. It is governed by love, lovingkindness, compassion, and awareness. When the mind and body and spirit are aligned, there is a flow from that infinite one into the mind and the body, and out through the voice, through the eyes into the world. When that is there, there is a diminishment of separation. There is a love that flows from the heart into the mind and out into the world. It permeates the body.

Sometimes in life, things go your way; sometimes, they go the opposite—be it physical, mental, or spiritual, be it loss of loved ones, loss of health, or loss of well-being in one form or another.

There are two great impediments to spiritual life. The first is attachment to the body and the sensory experience, because when there is attachment to the physical form and the sensory experience there is engagement with the body-mind structure and the belief that you are this small person who abides in the body. That belief becomes dominant in the mind, and so attachment to the enjoyment of sensory experience and embodiment becomes a hindrance when they overtake the mind and leave consciousness attached to embodiment.

For most people, when the group goes one way, they go that way; they believe what the group believes. When the group goes another way, they go that way. Why? Because they have surrendered to the group psychology, as their instincts around power and submission tell them to do for their survival. Human beings are not so strong; have compassion for them. Just as the wolf has an instinctual response within its society or the deer with its herd, or the horses, or the birds, so human beings are equally bound in their reactions.

The near senses are for providing information from within your bodies such as where you are located in space; orchestrating balance and movement; and interpreting sensations of heat and cold. In your embryonic state, they develop first and serve as the foundation for the far senses.

Busy, busy we are, as a society today. The alarm goes off, we hit snooze and then finally arise, only to rush off to work, speedily groomed and maybe fed, fight traffic, attend meetings, check endless emails, meet clients, fight traffic again.... Meanwhile, our higher selves are patiently awaiting our attention, longing for us to recognize and connect... Are you guilty of participating in the rat race whilst ignoring the most important and beautiful aspect of yourself?

In the past I have written many posts and articles about human energy and how it relates to healing and transformation. But now we stand on the cusp of a great shift. This shift has been referred to by the Mayans, Hopis, Hindis, Tibetans and many other ancient cultures. Current predictions are that we reach the cusp of this shift on Dec 21, 2012. These years leading up to this cusp have a heightened energetic intensity to them. Many of my clients want to know: Exactly how does a world-wide shift happen anyway? What is happening and what should I be doing during this time?

It is time for people to open their eyes and step into reality instead of continuing to walk around in a cloudy fog. I think people tend to put their hands up and close their ears when a little bit of fear is triggered in them. It’s just like a kid who is angry with his little friend and holds his hands over his ears as he repeats, “I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you.” Are you brave enough to open your eyes and ears about this truth and have the courage to face your own fears?

A key "Essential" to Showing Up in one's life is that of communication.

Your success in all areas of your life is contingent on your ability to communicate effectively. Your personal relationships, home life and professional life are a reflection of your communication skills.

Clients often come to me in a state of agitation, impatience and panic (real or existential, sometimes both), wanting a “magic solution” for their current dilemma – which is, in fact, a microcosmic representation or symptom of their overall life dilemma. And while I really do have a “magic solution” to share with them, it’s never what they expect, and like any good magic trick, it takes practice to master. The magic solution? Gratitude. It’s like the skeleton key that opens whatever door is in front of you…

The little girl with no needs. The little boy who takes care of mom. Premature maturity, is in fact, no escape from having needs or needing to be taken care of. It is not an escape from being a child, and it is in fact, not often maturity at all. Premature maturity is something else more painful: it is our childish attempt to buy (negotiate) a sense of security in a world of confusion, chaos, pain, death, illness, and feelings of loneliness and abandon. If we are just mature enough, maybe someone will care, will love us, will help us.

Visionaries aren’t just “people with lots of ideas.” Rather, a visionary’s brain has an astounding ability to make sense of seemingly millions of complex associations at lightning speed, working and reworking the puzzle of an uncountable number of infinitesimal factors, and seeing possibilities and obstacles that many couldn’t have conceptualized given a year’s time to reflect, research and plan.

Many of us conceptualize “struggle” as “bad.” In our limited view, we consider that to struggle means to be in pain, and that to be in pain is bad. But it is exactly this reasoning that has caused so many of us to fall repeatedly into cycles of struggle recreation (often called self-defeating behavior patterns): to avoid struggle is to short-circuit a natural and necessary growth process, keeping us in a “Groundhog Day”[1] pattern of personal and relational problems. How can we resolve this dilemma?

According Wikipedia the word, Manic means: affected with, relating to, characterized by or resulting from. It's a perfect word to describe what many men are feeling in this rapidly changing world. For our purposes today we'll use the word MAN tongue-in-cheek in Manic. The reason is, men have fallen into character traps and have taken on labels that do not serve them. What have you been told you are? What bill of goods did you get sold? What behaviors characterize you as a man?

Do our beliefs create our reality? Can you transform your life by changing your perception? To find the answers to these questions we need to look at how the workings of the brain interact with our power of intention. When you were born your mind was a blank slate with no prejudice, no bias and no beliefs, but some time around the age of seven you developed what is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). This is the part of your brain that determines what information your conscious mind will experience.

As emotional humans, our life’s journey is directly (or indirectly) focused on finding connection, community and acceptance – love. As emotional beings, we are constantly trolling for that feeling we get when we connect and truly make an impression; whether it be through our performance at work, our expression as an artist, or our bond with another human in a family, friendship or romantic engagement. When you truly look at this quest and sift away the ways and means, what we are all truly looking for is acceptance and to be valued. When you think about it, that’s all it really is.

Overcoming physical, emotional and even sexual abuse can be a life-long struggle. The effects of these traumas reach into every aspect of the victim’s life and ability to see them as valuable, lovable, respectable and HAPPY. I know this because I am one of them.

Understanding Hypnosis All mammals (including humans) have a mammalian brain. In this brain there is also the reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is located in the Brain Stem, or the upper part of the spine into the back of he head. It is ancient, even before eye development. This is where the Fight/Flight System of survival is located. Hypnosis is the confusing of F/F. Hypnosis is commonly referred to as: The Grazing Zebra Syndrome.

We have all experienced a time when we were ready to leave something... ready to make a change or just ready for something different. This could be a relationship, a job or a move; or it can even be a way of thinking. Do you recall that feeling way down in your stomach that just tells you - "hey, you, it's time!”

I read about a man who had trouble with faith… not “religious” faith but faith in himself, his purpose and where he was in his life – career, finances, status etc… Each day he would worry that he would not achieve the milestone goals he perceived were valuable based on his beliefs. His beliefs about what you should achieve and what you should own at a given time in your life. His worry was constant and caused sleeplessness and even digestive issues.

These days the words “spiritual”, “consciousness “and “awareness” are thrown around in popular culture like trophies won by those who feel they have the answers. The answers to the really big questions – like “why am I here?” and “what is my life for?” Can any person really know “the” answers, or is knowing a personal thing? Is there one answer to every question or do the answers need to fit into our ability to understand – to conceptualize – to really grasp what it all might mean?

We are learning more and more that we need to pay attention to our - planet's resources, our relationships and choices in order to preserve our way of life. We all know that we should "know" what and how to do this, but for most, this “knowing" is unknown...

Sometimes when a person dies suddenly in an accident or even gently in sleep from an illness, that person may not realize what has happened. They may not know that they have actually left their physical body behind and are in the spirit world. It seems to them that they just woke from a regular sleep. They feel the same and just like they always do. They may be noticing differences, especially that most people seem to be ignoring them, and others seem to be dressed strangely or even be more confused than they are. Some may appear injured or upset about where their loved ones are.

Past Lives Remembering my own past lives through hypnosis regression and meditation, brought new understanding to the life I am now living. Sometimes it seems as if your life just is not making sense, even to yourself. You may have a fear of or even an attraction to something that is not explainable within the experiences of the life you are presently in. Have you ever met someone and either knew that you knew them before, or had an almost immediate dislike of someone you have barely been introduced to. What is up with that?r

Some might ask, what does it even mean to say yes, to yourself? In my experience it means that you value, trust, and follow your own inner guidance, at least as much as the input you receive from others. We all have our own truth from our own perspective and no one can really know that better than you. Therefore, you are the one whose heart urges you can trust to make the best decisions for you. Occasionally saying yes to yourself, looks like saying no to someone else.

When I was five years old I had what I can only describe as an out of body travel experience. I found myself transported to a different landscape than where I lived and was used to. I was in a vast terrain of jagged and rugged looking mountains and deep valleys. I was standing on a mountainside. There seemed to be no people or buildings around but it was very beautiful and temperate. I then felt and saw a large creature beside me. It would have normally been scary to me but I felt intense feelings of love emanating from this large and strange creature. Could it really be a dragon?

In the native tradition, spirit animal totems each have their own medicine. By medicine, it is meant that the unique qualities that each animal has are the traits or gifts that are meant for us to learn or be gifted with at a certain time in our lives where we are in need of such qualities. We may have one totem animal that is prevalent in our lives, but many others will show up when we are in need of their medicine. These spirit animals are like a large collective energy of that animal’s wisdom and love. They act as guides and messengers for the things we are facing on our journey.

What lies on the other side of your fear? I invite you to consider the possibility that the life of your dreams lies there. For so long, I stayed stuck within the limiting mental constructs of fear. My fear gave me every excuse to stay in a place that didn't make me truly happy. I was scared to make a change, scared of the unknown, scared I didn't have the skills, knowledge or money to take the proper actions, scared that if I tried, I would fall flat on my face, alone and unsupported by the Universe. So, stuck I stayed. Not to mention unfulfilled...and unhappy.

If I had known years ago that I was experiencing was what I now know as the dark night of the soul, maybe it would have been easier to accept the divine unfolding and omniscient wisdom of the process. All I knew back then was my life seemed to be falling apart no matter how hard I tried to fight to hold it together. Rewind back to about 2010. On the outside, things seemed okay to the casual observer. I was married with two beautiful children; one girl and one boy. I had a decent career that I had set aside in order to do the stay-at-home-mom thing for the kids' early years.

Long ago, we created verbal language, as a way to communicate more efficiently, to verbalize our thoughts, identify objects, phenomenons, and share knowledge throughout Time and even space. I believe the intention was pure although nowadays language is not error free nor objective enough to clear misinterpretations. In fact, we added double meanings, emotional charges to a simple and functional enough vocabulary. “Let’s keep it simple.”

Knowledge is something truly extraordinary. We know because we feel, but until we find the correct words, we cannot explain it.

Louise Hay writes a lot about affirmations and is a firm believe in them as are many other teachers and writers.

There is always talk about how the world needs to change. There is so much anger and hatred in the world and we all want to see more peace and love spread throughout this earth of ours. We sometimes get stuck in a place of no change because we want to see global change and we don’t believe we can do anything alone to create it. But what if everyone had the same thought? What if we all got stuck in that place and never did anything to shift our own consciousness?

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But it is also said that beauty comes from within. If these statements are true then it all comes down to our perception and what we, individually, consider beautiful. In order to call something beautiful we often use judgment to disce why one person or thing is beautiful while another is not. Why do we not see everything as beautiful? We are all divine creatures of God and in so being this makes us all beautiful.

So what do you think of yourself? We all have certain images of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world. And we all have an image of how the world sees us. When we are small we adopt a set of beliefs that are the driving force behind everything we do in our lives. These beliefs cause us to create certain images of ourselves that we are constantly putting out into the world. “I am a good girl”, “I’m a bad boy”, “I am a victim”, and on and on it goes. Once the image is created, we then act in such a way that validates this image.

Here I am again, talking about beliefs, but they are such a key ingredient in how we are in the world, that it bears repeating – over and over again! Our belief system is what creates the blueprint for our lives. We watch our parents and those around us as children and we decide what works for others. We then choose which beliefs will work for us and we adopt them as our own. And off we go into the world, armed with everything we think we need to get along. Eventually, we start to realize that things aren’t working out quite the way we expected them to.

Blame is one of the biggest issues that we come up against in our daily life. We seem to have gotten the idea that the world is there to make us happy. And when that doesn’t happen we lay the blame out in the world as well, through other people, places or events that we think are the cause of our unhappiness. Everything we feel comes from within us. We create it and we live through it.

How often do we truly accept what is? We can all probably think of many instances during our day when we do not accept what is. From our hair not going the way we want to getting stuck in traffic and being late for work. Why can we not accept what is? Usually, non-acceptance is accompanied by judgment. Because we are always searching for happiness, love, peace, and contentment in our lives we are always finding ways to control what happens. Because we have certain beliefs, we are always looking for ways to support those beliefs.

We can look at the day ahead as something to dread or we can change our vision of what it will be with a breath. This is merely a matter of changing your perspective. When you wake up in the morning, think of the brand new day and smile. And feel how that smile changes what you feel inside.

It’s essential to be able to distinguish the difference between our subconscious experiences and our superconscious experiences. Subconscious experiences are related to the physical body whereas superconscious experiences consist of sense-free thinking. For example the concept of “circle” has no basis in our body but is an example of the first step into the superconscious, spirit world. These concepts do not belong to us. They belong to all Human Beings. Or think about words like “if” which have no material basis.

Daily Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince “He’s got more presents than me!” Jimmy yells when, on Christmas morning, he discovers that his brother Tim has two extra packages beneath the Christmas tree. “That’s because I’m Santa’s favorite,” Tim taunts. “He always gives me more things than he gives you because he likes me more.” Sticking his tongue out, he rubs the “injustice” in by chanting, “Na, na, na, na na!” Jimmy, to whom the idea that it’s more blessed to give than to receive would seem stupid, is inflamed with envy.

Daily Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince It isn’t only children who expect gifts for the holiday season. Adults want to be catered to also and can be just as demanding as children. The issue when we have expectations of gifts of a particular nature, significance, or value is that we imagine the world revolves around us. We’re like the king on the first planet, really a tiny asteroid, the Little Prince visits after he leaves his own asteroid. The king is a symbol of the way we grandiosely want others to kowtow to us.

What I want to introduce today is a practice that any two or more people can use. But for the sake of clarity, I will set it in the context of a couple.

It is a simple but powerful procedure for resolving difficult issues or going through tense times.

If you are a truly spiritual person, should you ever feel really sad? Well, the Little Prince, who represents our inner being, felt very sad. In fact we will find as we proceed through the Little Prince’s story that he experienced the full range of emotion—including emotions that it’s often assumed “spiritual” people shouldn’t feel. What does it mean to be spiritual? For many it’s a state that’s different from what we experience in normal everyday life. Million are actually seeking such a state so they can escape normal life, which they don’t find too pleasant.

Daily Insight from the Story of The Little Prince It’s easy when situations become painful to imagine that our life is going all wrong. But there has long been a mystical sense among humans all over the world that the divine Presence that pervades everything is the only reality there is. Hence it only appears that events are getting off track. In the case of the airman in the story, his crash in the Sahara Desert looks like a disaster, threatening his very life. Yet it will prove to be just the opposite.

You know what claustrophobia is, don't you? It's the fear that Santa Claus will get stuck in your chimney. There's another kind of claus-trophobia, and that's the fear of "being" Santa. Santa may well be the most universal symbol in western culture. Why does Santa have such appeal? Symbols are magnetic only to the degree that they touch upon something we instinctively sense about ourselves. We love Santa because there's a Santa in all of us. He represents a part of ourselves that we long to express.

Daily Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince How we see reality has to do with our beliefs. If you hold one set of beliefs, you will interpret what happens to you in a very different way than someone who holds an opposing set of beliefs. However, at a deeper level our beliefs are governed by our emotional state—the degree of our emotional maturity. When people want to dispense with good and bad, right and wrong, as if these didn’t exist—for instance, to say that the Holocaust wasn’t bad—it’s because they are too emotionally immature to deal with the riskiness of life.r

When it comes to personal growth, at the very time life feels most threatening—as if it’s perhaps even about to sink our ship—instead of seeing it as our enemy, we need to trust it. It may seem crazy, but I have seen over the years how there is an incredible wisdom in the way life has brought to the fore each of the aspects of my life that have asked me to grow. It isn’t just that we rise to the challenge, no matter what life throws at us. Disaster always challenges us to re-personalize—to become more than we have known ourselves to be.

Daily Insight from the Story of the Little Prince When it comes to becoming present in our life, I find so many people want some kind of "magical" event to happen that will catapult them into a new state of being. The reality is that for few does the ability to be present throughout their day happen as an instantaneous change. Most of us have been so not present for many, many years that a change in our brain patterns has to occur before we are able to relax into the presence that's actually our most natural state.

It’s so easy for us humans to get bogged down in the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, which are mostly not good stories. Our mental chatter goes round and round about how inadequate we are, how much we mess up, how we aren’t as good as someone else is, how we ought to be better, ought to do better. All of this dismal self-chatter stops us living fully. Positive thinking is supposed to combat this negativity. But it works only to a limited degree. It never really cures us of our self-deprecating self-talk.

Writing to the Corinthians, St. Paul corrected the way they were participating in what we today know, depending on our particular tradition, as the Mass, Eucharist, Communion, or the Lord’s Supper. “When the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry and another becomes drunk,” he complained. In those days the bread and wine were standard parts of a meal. The people came together on Sunday evenings to enjoy a potluck in which everyone was supposed to eat well and have plenty to drink.

In existential terms, for us to transcend dysfunction, we must accept the anxiety generated by the awareness of the nature of existence as inherent to our lives and learn to live with it as authentically as possible. The authentic self, which is both grounded in and aware of its transient nature, brings a conscious appreciation for the responsibility we have over our own lives. A healthy individual is authentic and genuine to oneself, which takes courage and determination because of the need to adjust to the anxieties in our lives.

What is the ego? Psychologically speaking, the ego consists of all of the personalized notions an individual has built up about who he or she is as a human being: personalities, beliefs, behaviors, thought processes, and inner dialogues. Essentially, the ego is the subjective construct of consciousness through which we differentiate ourselves as individuals.

Millions think that Jesus literally flew up into the sky to God, who was working things like a puppet master from a place somewhere up there called heaven. They get the idea from the Gospel of Luke and its second volume, the Book of Acts. Both are actually one single work in two volumes, which isn't often recognized. The same people who imagine Jesus flying up into the sky also imagine that, one day, God will draw back the curtain, snatch up those who are Christians in what they call "the rapture", then unleash all hell on everyone left behind.

To live a self-determined life is the essence of consciousness. A self-determined life is fundamentally different from a life that’s determined by our ego. When the ego is in charge of running our life, we only have an illusion of determining our life, not the actual experience of doing so. To be able to determine our own life requires us to be free, a state that few on our planet yet enjoy. Even those of us who think we are free are so heavily programmed by family and society that we don’t even know we aren’t free.

No matter what our spiritual bent—and even if we have no form of "spirituality" as such, but are atheistic and subscribe to a humanistic view of human beings—few of us would disagree with the idea that we ought to love others. The idea of loving each other is pretty universal. Yet when you look around the world, on the whole it's not a very loving place. So there's a discrepancy somewhere between what we say we believe and what we actually do. Here's a question that might begin to get at this discrepancy:

Suppose you are a person who either prays or meditates—or both. Why do you do these things? What’s your objective in praying or meditating? For many of us it’s a way of seeking to change something. We want to alter some aspect of ourselves, some feature of our life, some experience we are having. What if we stopped trying to change things and simply began to embrace what is? Would we still pray, and if so what would we say? Would we still meditate, and what would that meditation look like if we weren’t trying to make things different from the way we presently experience them?

We are part of an evolving reality grounded in a divine harmony that pervades reality and draws everything into patterns of increasing complexity and centeredness. You and I are bathed in the original mystery of order coming out of chaos. Our minds, as we try to understand this order, are part of the very process of the emerging order. Consciousness is the world order at its cutting edge. Our lives, as we grow toward wholeness and harmony, are a reflection of the harmony of the mystery that is what much of the East speaks of as the Void.

We feel somehow inadequate as we are now—even perhaps apologetic for who we find ourselves to be.
