Spirituality That Works

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 Quiet Power of Small Kindnesses

We talk about kindness as something we give. A held door, an encouraging word, an unexpected moment of patience, a helping hand. And it is. But what we often overlook is that kindness is also something we receive in the giving.

When we extend kindness, our focus shifts. The mental noise of not enough, too busy, so behind, lessens. And we start noticing tiny openings for chances to connect, to ease a moment, to offer the very thing we might … Read More

For the Love of Dogs

Q: I learned recently about someone calling their dog the true love of their life. I understand this, but could you talk about what this means? What’s this dynamic between us and our domesticated animals?

There are many ways people connect with animals, shaped by our needs and level of awareness. For much of human history, animals were seen as resources, here for our use. That view asks nothing of us: no responsibility, no awareness of the exchange of energies, … Read More

Spiritual Seekers, External Teachers and GIMMES

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

No Better Time to Walk the Spiritual Path

Q: We’re living in a time where there are no morals, no scruples, no acknowledgement of truth. What does this mean for someone trying to live a spiritual life?

Oddly enough, it’s actually helpful for those on a spiritual path. With no stable systems to lull us into sleepwalking, the only way forward is through presence.

Growth comes from having no stance, no engagement, no resisting what is. Just allowing yourself to witness the moment as it is, without judgment, … Read More

“Give It Hell, Fellow Flawed Human”

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

The House Is on Fire. Now What?

Chaos as Invitation

We’re living through a profound transformation of the human experience. Institutions we once relied on are faltering, truth is up for grabs, and divisiveness festers. Many of us feel caught between rage and resignation, overwhelmed by the chaos.

But what if this craziness isn’t just about breaking us down? Let’s consider the possibility that it’s clearing the way for us to create something entirely new. And giving us the opportunity to rebuild ourselves in ways we’ve never … Read More

The “Getting Ready to Get Ready” Stage

Q: I keep having this feeling that I’m ready to make a big change. But at the same time, I feel that I’m not really ready. What’s going on?

That’s the “getting ready to get ready” stage. It’s that weird limbo stage where your mind and spirit know something’s about to shift, but your body and subconscious are hitting the brakes.

Q: What does that mean? And how do I move through it faster?

It’s a natural pacing mechanism. When … Read More

The Ocean of Awareness

Q: I was reading this quote from Nityananda: “While the ocean has plenty of water, it is the size of the container you bring to it that determines how much you collect.” I think I understand it, but can you comment on it?

This quote isn’t about abundance in the usual sense. It’s about awareness; our capacity to perceive and experience the infinite. The ocean here represents pure consciousness—always present, infinite, and undivided. It doesn’t come and go. It doesn’t … Read More
