As we walk the path of enlightenment, we learn many lessons many times over, often understanding more and gaining a deeper appreciation for the truth each time. One of the divine truths that many souls must digest more than once has to do with building our inner peace on divine connection with such an unshakable … Continue reading Our Souls Need Not Share Our Fleshly Fears
Our Walk
Be the Teacher – Lose the Ego
I can’t think of a more appropriate post in which to change the pronoun from “we” to “I.” Let me tell you a short story from just a few weeks ago. My husband brought up a political post I’d shared on my personal Facebook page and suggested it might be “more divisive than enlightening.” He … Continue reading Be the Teacher – Lose the Ego
Happiness Versus Inner Peace
“And they lived happily ever after.” Humans, as we begin to reach even the lowest echelons of mental maturity, realize the caveats with this fairy tale cliché ending. Our Earthly lives teach us repeatedly that no one lives “happily ever after,” that the nature of existence is a series of struggles and challenges (plenty of … Continue reading Happiness Versus Inner Peace
Love Versus Attachment
From the Universal wisdom, we can deduce that our souls choose incarnation (crave it even) for the richness of experience that only physicality can bring. Part of this, in our current incarnations, is human love of all types, which explains why we suffer so when we feel that love is being withheld from us. As … Continue reading Love Versus Attachment
Resolutions Redeemed
In this, the season of impending resolutions, I hope to remind us all about just how capable of change we are. New Years resolutions get a bad rep. Why? Because they’re so often abandoned. Our media has grown jaded about them, and plenty of messaging bombards us this time of year practically condemning them, depicting … Continue reading Resolutions Redeemed
Inner Peace First
The message barrages us from all sides - friends, family, Facebook. “You’re overthinking it,” “Stop worrying and start living,” and “Why do you always have to imagine everything that could possibly go wrong? Can’t you just relax and enjoy life?!” If these accusations sound familiar, you’re probably one of the millions of people who, either … Continue reading Inner Peace First
There Is No “Other”
I speak often of how all ideas we hold of separation, of “otherness” between souls, are illusions cast on us by our current incarnation. So, I wanted to explore this concept more deeply. I LOVE the short story The Egg by Andy Weir in which a nameless character “you” meets a universal being “I” to … Continue reading There Is No “Other”
Living Within Versus Without Enlightenment
When we exist outside of enlightenment, we constantly feel stretched. We crave inner peace, but likely do not realize that this is what we’re seeking. Our souls know that they seek something, so we try to determine what that something is, and our Earthly minds can come up with an impressively long list of false … Continue reading Living Within Versus Without Enlightenment
Don’t BE to DO; DO to BE!
“Simply be, rather than do.” This advice comes from sage teachers of many traditions and gets picked up and parroted by our collective national media who clearly don’t understand it. Deceptively simple, and so counter to Western culture, still it stands, seemingly undeniable in its wisdom, but what if it’s only half the message? Anyone … Continue reading Don’t BE to DO; DO to BE!
