FORGIVE YOURSELF
Forgiveness is a noble concept, but so hard for us humans to pull off. I was recently in a yoga class, and the teacher dedicated a meditation to forgiveness, and pointed out that all of us carry such negative past experiences and sense memories around forever. So true. It’s almost like we have a soundtrack […]
TRIBALISM OR INNOVATION
The external world seems to be an angry place these days, with all kinds of ongoing global conflicts, and increased polarization here at home. I’ve been talking about this issue with friends and family over the last few months, trying to get a handle on what is causing this discontent. Some obvious causes were suggested, […]
CELEBRITY POLITICS
It’s official: politics has morphed with the celebrity culture, and the baby it has created is “Celebrity Politics.” Donald Trump may be its first poster child, but he is only capitalizing on an ongoing trend. And look how fast this occurred: just ten years ago, someone who insulted people as randomly as Trump would have […]
BE HERE…….OR BE THERE.
There are so many distractions today, that I’m amazed that anyone can feel planted in the present moment. And these distractions have crept up on us slowly, like a bad mold in the basement of our houses. But it is important to acknowledge just how many more things are competing for our attention now, than […]
THE THIRD DIMENSION a/ka REALITY
Your life is controlled by it, you give homage to it every waking moment and even when you sleep, you make sacrifices for it, your laws are based in it, all the drama and conflict in your life takes place there, it’s the physical aspect and exterior illusion of every situation, and you may never […]
WHEN REALITY DOESN’T MATCH HOPES
I think that we have all been there: hoping so much for something to happen in our life: such as a new job we interviewed for, a move to an exciting place, or the love of someone we just met, that this hope can overshadow everything else. It is an interesting place to be, because […]
HOW TO AVOID CHAOS
You can’t- so get used to it. A prime example: while going down in the elevator of my building, I encountered someone in the middle of chaos- texting madly, looking disoriented and distracted. But the good news is there are ways to minimize its impact on you, and to be less reactive when it occurs. […]
OBSERVE
It’s easy to get caught up in all the events of the world and the personal drama swirling around you. It can feel overwhelming at times, as if so many things and people are out of control. How can you feel peace in a world like that? The answer is surprisingly simple: observe- just observe. […]
MIND CONTROL
The concept of mind control has been on my mind for some time recently, the irony of this notwithstanding. And by mind control, I do not mean sinister forces controlling the minds of the masses in order to exercise absolute control. I mean an individual human being exercising some control over his own, and nobody […]
BATTLE OF BELIEFS
There’s a battle going on now, and it’s a battle of beliefs. Actually, this battle has been waging for as long as mankind has existed. This battle is being waged on the airwaves, through the internet, and through every available means of communication. It is in essence a battle for your heart, and especially your […]
