So, did you know there was a lost superpower?  Could peace be the missing link?  Many of us think of a superpower as something large and overpowering, strong and bold or loud and ominous.  The idea that the greatest superpower is internal peace…might appear to be counter intuitive.

We are all familiar with the super-powers displayed by our modern-day comic book super heroes.   Even though we may not display super hero strength, flying or sight… being aware of our internal super powers…

Out of balance?

Recently, I interviewed entrepreneur and author, Nir Eyal for my Ruthless Compassion podcast. He talked about how technology is an absolute necessity but that like anything else we find helpful and enjoyable, we can find ourselves out of balance when using it.

We don’t even…

Mass hysteria goes viral:

The hysteria we’ve been feeling lately over the arrival in North America of the novel coronavirus reminds me of the fears that we had around the SARS crisis in Toronto in 2003 and the Ebola virus in 2014.

If you lived through either of these times you can probably recall how freaked out people were during these outbreaks. Many Canadians over-reacted to situations that turned out to be not nearly as bad as they’d thought.

"Arjuna said:

What is it that compels a man to

Commit sin, even involuntarily,

As if driven by force, O Varshneya?”

The Blessed Lord said:

It is desire; it is anger, born of

Rajo-guna, all-consuming and most evil.

Know this to be the enemy here on earth."

Bhagavad Gita, Ch.3, v. 36,37 (transl. by Maharishi)

Anger is an enemy because it disturbs, confuses and destroys one’s mental equilibrium and causes one to commit sin,…

A broken soulmate relationship can spiral a soul into crisis. It starts with the “Forever Fallacy.” Understanding life is impermanent frees us from attachments that relationships, even good ones are not meant to last forever. A soul journey is a sole journey and it’s best not to hold onto too many expectations to those we consider soulmates. The ties of human connection mean we are all soulmates, everything we do touches another.

As we awaken to a more spiritual life, our soul tribe crosses our path, and as they do it is helpful to recognize who they are and their purpose in our life. It first starts with an understanding of our soul’s mission, engaging in spiritual practices to heighten awareness so we can not only learn from them, but offer them our…

When you get up in the morning and you open the blinds to look out for the first fresh time that day to your front lawn or your backyard, can you see the peace that makes up the natural world?  Can you see that the sky and its holdings are just hanging there peacefully?  Can you see that the trees in your neighborhood represent so fully the silence and the presence of stillness?  And while you are looking at the peace in the natural world, can you hear the gentle movement of the wind, or the…

We live in an age of self-promotion. While everyone is trying to be seen and increase followers, caught in the algorithm game, we run the risk of losing connection to others. Building genuine connections of collaboration and support not only help us, but encourage others. It is being mindful we all have gifts to share and all our…

Cheerleader, not the lead player, is our ego’s assigned and healthy function:

Our ego by default feeds on fear since its primary goal is to ensure our survival in various situations. The inherent nature of fear and its biological function is to prompt us to act in situations when there is a need to fight…

On most days I find myself caught between two worlds, the human world of having to get things done, make money, have sex, clean the house, cook meals and make everyone happy.  The other world has nothing to be done rather there is a yearning to know, know everything about who we are and why we are here. 

No big task and absolutely no pressure in either…

What does it mean to create from the soul and how we do it? First, we need to silence exterior and inner criticism, and then get our conscious ego out of the way. Through sitting in silence, we allow the subtle voice of the soul to speak and inspire us. Documenting the soul’s voice through journaling and art not only creates soulful…

I know, responsibility, right? Who needs it? Or do we? On the road to spiritual and emotional maturity, it is an important practice.

Responsibility is really a part of living in the New Reality. It is part and parcel of being the change you want to see in the world and being responsible is being emotionally mature.

Well, what does that mean? …

ABSTRACT:

Birth and death are mere doors we walk through, shedding memory of a past life and gaining new memories of a life to be. We shed and gain memories quite automatically while alive in this world now. This moment and death are much alike in this respect, only the degree of which shows notable difference. Understanding this, there is little reason for fearing death.

Birth and Death a Continuing…

Tasty, yummy, delicious, sublime, heavenly, divine, orgasmic! Oh, yes!

Eating is a primal need associated with pleasure, somewhat similar to arousal. When delightful food melts in our mouth, the pleasure washes away our worries and stress.

Our minds are miraculous receptors, soaking up information that forms our beliefs and opinions of the world around us. What we hold to be true shapes and colors our life in countless ways. The view we have of ourselves and our purpose can be wide or narrow depending on our willingness to let in new thoughts and ideas. This is true…

What are universal laws? Our creators put these, and many more, principles in place. By practicing them our lives will become richer and more fulfilling. Although the laws are infinite, we are focusing on seven principles for now. As we expand our awareness, more will become known to us:

• Live in inner integrity.

• Use our psychic sense, along with our physical senses, to make decisions.

• The focus of our thoughts should be on love.

ABSTRACT:

The Apostle Paul taught the gentle Jesus Message of love and forgiveness, yet his central message was of Salvation through the Cross, a message not given by Jesus. Paul suffered and endured, and he converted many pagans to the new faith. It is paramount that we today come to terms with a truer salvation message and discard the outdated need for a suffering Master.

Salvation Through a Belief is…
