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.
The primary doorway to the spiritual life for most people comes through the heart. “I know, but I don’t know why I know. I love because I don’t know what else to do. I want, I desire, I need.” The seeking begins, and it’s from the heart.
Being aware of this, all religions, from the beginning of time, have been structured to appeal to the heart. Because it’s within the heart that inner knowing and intuition live.
But religion, in … Read More
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
There are several types of walking meditations and all of them offer valuable benefits. The more common ones instruct you to focus on the breath, and/or repeat a mantra and/or be aware of each step as you pick up your foot and put it down, or to pay attention to the present moment, etc. What they all share is some kind of focused attention to help you practice staying fully present … Read More
