Welcome. In this section, you’ll find posts on spiritual principles that work in real life. These articles range from fundamental truths to advanced concepts that deepen spiritual mastery and intuitive clarity.
I share practical methods for expanding awareness, making meaningful perception shifts, and developing your connection with your Inner Teacher, your own source of spiritual wisdom. You’ll find ways to deepen your spiritual practice, strengthen your connection to nature, and access intuitive guidance rather than relying on others.
Some posts in this section begin with an image rather than an explanation. This is intentional. The image is not meant to persuade or instruct, but to create a pause before ideas take shape. If you find yourself wondering where it’s going, that’s often part of the process.
Use the right sidebar Articles Menu to find full-length articles and transcribed excerpts from classes.
When we experience peace, we are immediately tempted to do something with the peace.
We think, How can I keep this peace? How can I make more peace? How can I not lose this peace? Does this peace mean that I have become awakened?
Instead of letting ourselves be within this peace.… Read More
You don’t need any special abilities or magical skills to connect with your Inner Knowing. It’s a birthright.
And it doesn’t matter what gets you to the spiritual door—loneliness, hardship, feeling disconnected, wanting to know your purpose, or wishing to plug into a greater consciousness, a deeper awareness.
What matters is that once you are pushed through the door, the door disappears behind you and there is no way back.
And there you are.
You must walk on and that’s … Read More
Q: At this stage of my spiritual practice, one of the things that I’d like to figure out is how to handle lulls of silence in conversation. I was with somebody recently and there were moments of silence while we were together that I felt the need to fill. I couldn’t figure out whether that was my need or whether I was being kind because that would be the other person’s need. I would like to have a better understanding.… Read More
Q: Can you provide a description of what a good, maybe comprehensive spiritual practice is? What is spiritual practice?
There are many actions one can take in the name of a spiritual practice. You’re familiar with many of them. And pursuing any one of them will help you to feel that you are “doing” a spiritual practice in your “effort” to become more spiritual. But there comes a time in your development when you’ll realize they are all nothing more … Read More
Who isn’t struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life? With all the busyness, it can be difficult to focus on the present moment and to find inner peace. That’s where meditation and mindfulness come in. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not exactly the same thing. While both practices involve quieting the mind and focusing on the present, they differ in their approaches. Meditation is a more structured practice that involves focusing on a … Read More
I remember one chilly evening spent on a mountaintop in India with a 119-year-old master. We’d become very fond of each other over our many visits. This particular night, we were gazing out from the top of Mt Abu, looking over the vast plains of Rajasthan below, and I was lamenting that he had it easier on his mountaintop. He only had one job as a guru, and that was to live a spiritual life with … Read More
Q: Every time I try to meditate, I wind up falling asleep. Should I be trying to do something to force myself to stay awake?
Meditation is a practice that can involve both relaxation and focused attention. It’s not uncommon to feel drowsy or even fall asleep during the relaxation phase of meditation, especially if you’re tired and/or haven’t been sleeping well. In fact, some meditation techniques, such as Yoga Nidra and Guided Imagery, are specifically designed to promote relaxation … Read More
Q: Can you explain the influence language has on our perception of reality as spiritual beings?
When we’re born it’s with total awareness. The full connection to the All–That-Is is still intact. When you look into a newborn’s eyes, you can see the ancientness of the soul. Because that infant is still completely connected.
Then, in order for us to live within the families and cultures into which we’re born, we need a unifying, shared reality. A new program gets … Read More
