Living In Two Worlds

Speaking with confidence, I can finally say that my spiritual awakening is complete. Not that my spiritual growth is complete – that will be a lifetime of learning – but rather the awakening itself has finished. My awakening has been a decade-long process. Even though I’ve recognized the Truth, and wrote about several facets ofContinueContinue reading “Living In Two Worlds”

The Emotionless Robot

I was called an emotionless robot during a recent argument, and it got me thinking. One, for anyone who knows me well, they know I am far from emotionless. In fact, there are several triggers I have that still elevate my emotional state. I experienced one last week from a computer program not working correctlyContinueContinue reading “The Emotionless Robot”

How Did We Get Here?

Well, there’s a loaded question. And one that has been on the mind of humankind for as long as recorded history remembers. First off, where exactly do I mean by here? Here on planet earth? Here in this physical reality? Here in the modern era? The answer is pretty much, D. all of the above.ContinueContinue reading “How Did We Get Here?”

Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.

We’ve all heard the phrase, judge not less you be judged yourself. Or some variation of it. Of course we shouldn’t judge others, but that phrase embodies a deeper meaning, something I feel is ultimately more difficult than not judging other people: Not judging yourself. Over the past year, I’ve been going through a tremendousContinueContinue reading “Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.”

So, You Made A Mistake?

Far too many people are afraid of making mistakes, and far too many more are consumed by mistakes they have made in the past. There are people who get offended by the mere mention that they made a mistake, and worse still, are those people who find pleasure in pointing out the mistakes of others.ContinueContinue reading “So, You Made A Mistake?”

Don’t Mind What Happens

Beginning this summer, I’ve decided to live my life by the mantra: “don’t mind what happens.” And I’m serious about sticking by it. Even if my house burned down? Yes. Even if someone I love dies? Yes. Will I grieve and experience unhappiness if those things happen? Of course I will. But ultimately, I knowContinueContinue reading “Don’t Mind What Happens”

The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness

Why are some people so obsessed with demonizing others online? It can hurt, to watch friends and family publicly call each other out and slander one another. And all to build a narrative that favors themself over the other person. But, we see strangers do this to each other too. Comment battles and arguments areContinueContinue reading “The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness”

Stop Ignoring Your Trauma

I’ve seen an influx of posts circulating social media lately spreading a similar message: your trauma didn’t make you stronger, you made yourself stronger. Or something along those lines. And I realize the point they are trying to make – you are your strength not the hurt that forced you to be strong. In someContinueContinue reading “Stop Ignoring Your Trauma”

The Voice Inside Your Head

We all have it. Inner monologue. Train of thought. Brain manifestations. Whatever you call it doesn’t matter, because regardless I’m betting most of us struggle with a similar aspect: the dreaded naysayer! The you’re-not-good-enough. The dream-killer. I hear this voice a lot and I’m a pretty strong-willed person. I can only imagine how it affectsContinueContinue reading “The Voice Inside Your Head”

Cultivating An Attitude of Gratitude

It seems I’ve gone on another inadvertent hiatus. Six months have slipped by since my last post. Normally, I would write some long winded explanation as to what was commanding all of my time, why I couldn’t post an update, apologizing for my absence, blah, blah, blah. Not this time. I don’t owe any explanationsContinueContinue reading “Cultivating An Attitude of Gratitude”
