CHANGING YOUR SOUNDTRACK
This blog post is not about changing the music you listen to on Spotify, or other music streaming services. It’s about changing your inner dialogue. If you are familiar with or have read a variety of self-help books or blog posts, you know that a continuing theme in many of these works is this: look […]
THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS PART II
The collective consciousness will bring you up; the collective consciousness will bring you down. It’s all about choice. Before we explore our options with it, let’s explore what exactly it is, and what it isn’t. What it is: 1. It’s the guideline imposed by the “prevailing view” on almost any issue, such as what countries […]
HOW TO BE ALONE
It’s one of those taboo subjects, and is often confused with loneliness. But the idea of aloneness is nothing new, and is completely different from being lonely. There are so many songs and poems that encourage us to be together with other people, and suggest that it is positively un-human and anti-social to find yourself […]
PERCEPTION
It is becoming increasingly clear that perception is king, perception is everything. It is often said that one man’s palace could be another man’s prison. This is so true, especially today, when all of us are being bombarded by so many stories, so many images. Who has the right spin? The answer could be as […]
THE WAR AGAINST CARBS
This is a war unlike any other raging in the world today- It’s not like Syria, Gaza, Somalia the Ukraine, or of course that pesky, hard to define group, ISIS. But its soldiers are perhaps just as dedicated and disciplined, because this war is about what we stuff into our mouths. And for many Americans, […]
THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
The collective consciousness is a real thing, even if it is not a tangible thing, like a rubber ball that you can kick around. But it is the combination of all ideas and beliefs that most people in a society believe in. And boy oh boy, can it vary from one country to another, and […]
FINDING COURAGE
I bet it’s been a long time since you heard about, or read anything about courage. I thought about courage over this long holiday weekend, as I reflected on my life a bit, in the context of what’s going on with my friends and family, seen within the context of world events. Courage seems to […]
THE FETISH
Sorry to disappoint you, but this blog post is not about what you might think: some kinky sex practice by upper class Englanders. The idea of a fetish has spread to so many other things and expereinces. It’s the desire, actually, the “must-haves” that certain people worldwide have come to believe are so important to […]
THE BATTLE BETWEEN FEAR AND LOVE
There are many battles raging around the world today, from the conflict in the Middle East, to health battles in Africa, to environmental concerns worldwide. But perhaps the biggest battle is being waged right on our home turf, and very close to home: the battle between fear and love in our minds. The things that […]
AND THE WINNER IS…YOU
They say that there are winners and losers in life, but who is to say who really wins and who really loses. If life is won and lost in every moment, which seems likely, than it is a constant, rather than a fixed process. And believe it or not, YOU can be the winner in […]
