GalleryMetaphysically Speaking
Perhaps the concept of metaphysical thought could be a stumbling block for some who might otherwise be open to a reality that transcends the known physical world. Humanity has a tendency to codify its thoughts on a subject, thereby creating a structured belief system one must adhere to in order to have access to the “truth” it promotes. Just as no religion holds the keys to salvation, metaphysical thinking does not alone hold access to the awareness of a new age.
Now it is necessary to state that new thought is a very important part of the awakening process of humanity, but it must not become something one must decide to believe or participate in. Metaphysical thought should not be seen as separate from everyday thoughts and beliefs but rather an integrated part of everyday life—an invitation for each individual to find transcendence in their own life.

GalleryMy Bags are Packed
Often humanity seeks to change the reality in which it dwells to create an environment more to its liking. When initiated through intent, focus and action, your current reality begins to shift. Your current situation may seem to worsen; yet, in`reality you are being asked to release and surrender your present attachments and investments in order for them to be transformed into your new reality. It is not much different than when you relocate. You pack up what you will need in you new environment and discard the rest. You must surrender where you are and release what you have in order to accomplish the move.
With shifting realities you must release and surrender. Therefore, see nothing as lost, as all things surrendered are transformed and returned in a new way.
To assist this process utilize the tools of acknowledgement, surrender and dominion during the transitional process–acknowledging the potential of your […]
GalleryDivine Will vs Personal Choice
Perhaps the title of this concept hints at the difficulty of deciphering what is divine will or personal choice. When divine will and personal choice are seen as opposing forces, conflict is evident, and the ego consciousness and spiritual identity begin a tug-of-war for control.
The reality is that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what these two equal and powerful forces offer to the human experience. Yes, equal—and therein lies the source of humanity’s dilemma between the two.
There is a deep-seated belief that divine will supercedes personal choice, therefore, creating an intrinsic disempowerment of self.
The belief that there is some divine dictator that commands humanity against its will is a sad misunderstanding of the truth. This belief promotes that God is right and the individual is wrong. Yet, humanity has been told that they have freewill. The conflict created can cause some to see freewill as a curse rather […]
GalleryIntrospection of an Awakening Mind
Perhaps the most ignored, yet profound fact, is that you exist. If you are reading these words you “are.” Yet who you are? We hear a litany of names and life roles being uttered; yet, we have asked, “Who are you?”
In some ways, existence is seen, should we say, as so commonplace that humanity does not question it. Try looking behind the eyes that read these words and, therefore, the mind that comprehends them. Are you defined by that? And what is that? Can you stand back from your own awareness and observe yourself? And if so, then who is observing? Is it not you?
Therefore, is it possible to escape first person perspective? Do you ever comprehend yourself from outside yourself or are we just talking mind games? How can you know yourself if you can never observe yourself? Is third person observation possible?
In the physical world, humanity depends […]
