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.
Q: Sometimes we search for so long we reach a point where we don’t even know what it was we were searching. But there is this longing that remains. What now?
What’s needed is a moment of recognition. Something clicks that makes us feel alive and excited.
That’s one of the things that happen when we find an external teacher. We have that sensation of hope that here’s somebody who could take me further down the path. You may not … Read More
Think of the energy of the current time as like watching popcorn pop over the sides of the popcorn cooker. More and more falls out over the sides until the whole cooker is covered, and yet it is still popping.
There are many small eruptions, so many that the mind cannot take them all in. This creates both excitement and dread.
Things are happening, and many of those things are not good. Yet people often value things happening more than … Read More
Recently, I overheard a conversation at a coffee shop that stayed with me. Two people were talking about how hard life can be and the ongoing struggle to be their best selves despite setbacks. One of them, in particular, seemed to carry a quiet weight of regret.
As they got up to leave, the one friend clapped the other on the back and said, “Give it hell, fellow flawed human.” It was such a simple yet powerful gesture of support. … Read More
Q: Do most people think in words rather than in images?
It’s true. Most of us are conditioned for a nonstop internal monologue, a “ticker tape” of words strung together. The first step in releasing the grip of these thoughts is learning to shift our internal focus from language to imagery.
While it may seem counterintuitive, since images often evoke stronger emotions, visuals don’t trigger the same analytical “chatter” that words do. A picture may be worth a thousand words, … Read More
Q: I’m feeling stuck in old patterns.
Work to try to shake yourself out of the habits that are preventing you from changing, from getting to where you want to go. For example, don’t start the day at the computer. Start it outside going for a walk, or exercising, or reading.
Q: I know, I’ve made my energy and my life very small. But it feels manageable. Making it bigger feels like just adding more to the to-do list.
I’m … Read More
Q: What is it that we are afraid of? Is it just fear of the unknown?
You can’t be afraid of the unknown, because it’s unknown. In this case, you’re afraid of what your imagination conjures.
What people are really afraid of is losing the known.… Read More
Q: You hear a lot about thoughts and what we should and shouldn’t do with them in meditation. Should we try to resolve thoughts in meditation?
A few thousand years ago, back when the Buddha was alive—that was a very different world. There weren’t the distractions that there are today. Living back in that time, you were already much closer to being able to be in the now, because there was very little to distract from the now.
There are … Read More
The current world energy could be summed up as a “Do Not Enter” sign with its red outer circle and horizontal bar. But if you look with a shifted perspective, you can also see that the bar can also be viewed as a handle that can be used to push the door open.
Presently, many people are experiencing a kind of holding, where they don’t know how to proceed or believe they cannot proceed because they take at face value … Read More
