I get affirmation from wherever, when I am on the right path… here it goes: I just finished this article, and here is my Rob Brezsny horoscope…
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Burrow down as deep as you dare, Virgo. Give yourself pep talks as you descend toward the gritty core of every matter. Feel your way into the underground, where the roots meet the foundations. It’s time for you to explore the mysteries that are usually beneath your conscious awareness. You have a mandate to reacquaint yourself with where you came from and how you got to where you are now.
Make it yours… if you have the courage… So you can become free. The process is more intricat
This article has turned out to be quite a novella… Read it when you have time… probably not now.
Of all the things that are different between homo sapiens and human being, the hardest thing, the highest and most treacherous mountain to scale and stay on the top of, is the idea of a being that is missing… i.e. a context.
You may be familiar, even conversant about beings that are there… I am happy, I am sad, I am stupid… but a being that isn’t… is entirely outside of your ability to see.
See, as in seeing it as possible. Seeing it as something you can discover, invent for yourself. Create.
I have known people who did art in my life. A lot. But I have known only a handful who treaded i
The Law of Process is one of the most important laws of nature, of Life… and one of the laws the least number of people know about, or honors.
People are duped to believe that things just happen… and there is no process behind them happening.
Advertising, testimonials, articles, books, talk about the results, and talk about the path to them in a sketchy way… if ever.
So it is no surprise that any and all my students and clients expect instant results, instant enlightenment, instant happiness, blah blah blah when they deal with me.
I have some students who are not keeping up with the other students. These students don’t learn. So much so, that after a whole year, they are still at page 1 or page 2 of a class… that is 100 pages… Of course there are no pages… but pages express more what I want to say than percentages.
It is the middle of the night: I got up to write this article, because I got the insight that has been missing.
Before you can learn something, you need to see the end result in your mind’s eye. Then when you actually get there you can recognize it.
If you can’t see it ahead of time, in your mind’s eye, you won’t recognize it even when you get there, because you have never seen it befo
I wrote this article six years ago… and except for “current events” it is still accurate… My webhost hasn’t kicked me out… yet… lol.
This word, trust, has been coming up too frequently, in conversations with my students. I consider that coming up guidance, so let me start exploring trust: what it is, what it isn’t, and how to deal with lack of trust, or the different forms of distrust… and also where it comes from.
I had a great opportunity to observe myself today. My webhost shut down my site for a reason of their own. A year ago that was a daily occurrence, but this was a first since.
First I sent them an email asking them to restore the site. Waited 20 minutes, the
I bet, you expect a straight line from where you are to where you want to be.
Unfortunately, nature doesn’t work on a straight line.
So unless you are willing to take everything as guidance, and not stop asking, thinking you are home free… you’ll make wild left right turns before nature, Consciousness, your body takes you home.
I have been observing this for decades, and tearing my hair our…
Because more often than not, the first “guidance” towards a result you crave will take you to a bad result.
Why? I have some theories, but I don’t actually know why.
There can be many reasons you have a difficult time falling asleep or staying asleep. But no matter what the reason, the emotional component, your reaction of not being able to sleep, is in common.
And this remedy rescues your sleep. It works on 40 different emotional reactions, including fear, worry, anger, impatience, 40 in all.
Even though it works fast, the best way to take it is to take it throughout the day. It’s not addictive, and it won’t slow you down. Its effect is not chemical, its effect is energetic.
So it is not your usual “take it before you go to bed” type or solution.
About 50% of humanity believes that positive thinking is what is going to bring home the bacon, suppressing negative thought, negative desires. I saw a video yesterday that even the Dalai Lama’s talk is interpreted as positive thinking…
He says: a small positive thought in the morning can set your whole day on a positive spin.
What he doesn’t say is that the kind of positive thoughts people have aren’t the kind that create a positive spin… au contraire… Just the opposite: They turn your day into sh*t.
I once had a client who lived and still lives in the small upstate New York town where I live… Syracuse NY.
He said, and lived by, that Syracuse is a dark town, no sun.
If you are in business… or even if you are only selling your time/work at a job or freelancing, pricing your merchandise, friendship, advice, companionship, your time, your service is going to be something worth looking at.
A few decades ago I published a magazine. The magazine was free, the income came from advertising.
A girl whom I knew from before, who worked at the same architect’s office I worked, called me and asked if she could trade cleaning my office for advertising. Turns out she was turning tricks…
She came to the office, worked for an hour and expected it to cover the price of a quarter page ad, $200 at the time.
