I have carried a limiting story about you. Now don’t pretend you don’t have them too – stories about the world based on often limiting judgments and assumptions about literally everything and everyone you know. This is not a good or bad thing. It’s a human thing! Creating ‘stories’ is something most all of us,…
Mind Chatter
The mind keeps us engaged with its incessant chatter. Its purpose is obvious. It must keep up a constant chattering to hold us captive in our own unique, designed-just-for-us-fear-based story. To allow any space in that mental run-on would be to risk the danger of our discovering that we are not the stressful, limiting, and exceedingly…
Peace, Our Choice
We live in such a beautiful world, a garden of endless possibility. If we believe life is a junkyard, we get to live there. We can be the “junkyard dog!” If we believe it’s all about pomp & ceremony, we experience that, or we might choose a worldview that lands us in a cosmopolitan world…
Counting Our Blessings, Christmas, 2011
I decided to share a Christmas letter with you counting blessings for 2011. May it inspire you to count your own! Greetings! I pray this letter finds you and yours enjoying a peaceful, if not joyful, season, and that you are looking forward to a bright new year! Since the holiday season is a time…
Hand in Hand With Source
During my daily practice recently I was, as I often am, visited by fears of unkind possibilities and ominous things to come. I felt the panic that comes with thinking thoughts like, “bad times are coming and I don’t think I can deal with them.” Recognizing that I was getting caught up in the fear…
Melodrama or A Passionate Life?
I recently listened to a friend vocalize protest against people she described as being “so melodramatic.” She said her stomach clenches whenever she gets around people who are “into drama,” and then confided to me that she had long ago decided not to live her life with dramatic display, but with introspective decorum instead. I understand. I am…
How Do We Get Out Of The Victim Loop?
Recently a subscriber asked this question: “How I can be an observer of my being in observer consciousness? How can I pull back from my own observations of the manifestations of my own thought processes in order to see clearly where I am going wrong and where I can alter course to go right?? All I can see is the fog…
From “We-They” (Victim) Consciousness to Unity (Observer) Consciousness
Have you ever heard the saying, “if you spot it, you got it?” Or this one – “What we resist in others, is what persists in us?” These sayings are based on the guiding principle that teaches us that the world is a mirror. I have certainly noticed in myself, and in those around me,…
Family Miracle: Teaching Children How To Embrace Reality
I got to witness a miracle of the very best kind this past weekend! The very best kind of miracle, to my way of thinking anyway, is one that brings about healing transformation for whole family’s at a time, and that’s just what I had the opportunity to witness during our recent “Victim-Free Parenting” Workshop…
Victim or Victor?
It’s quite natural for us to assume that the opposite of victim is victor. In reality, however, the role of victor is just another stop on the victim triangle on its way to victim. The “victor” may stand with a conquering foot planted firmly on their victim, loudly proclaiming victory; however they are still at…
