Dear soul, do you often feel the relentless pressure to be right? This journal entry explores the cultural and historical roots of the fear of being wrong and how this rigid worldview unconsciously controls our lives, breeding intellectual hostility in the world and within us. We dive into how this orthodoxy/heresy mindset creates a constant need to be "correct." Understanding this menta...

“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers…. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.” Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) Walden; or, Life in t...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I share a powerful strategy to help us navigate anxiety, fear, and confusion in today’s chaotic world. By questioning everything and assuming that "everyone is lying," we can overcome the "normalcy bias" and break free from the fear-driven narratives around health, society, and everyday life. I explore how building trust in our intuiti...

And this video in the INFP: The INFP: Reimagined . He t...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore how small daily choices can help us slow down, create genuine human connections, and resist the temptations of convenience that lead us to disconnect from our fellow humans. I invite us to consider what it means to be human in this increasingly automated world. I suggest that by choosing the human-operated checkout line over self-checkouts, we c...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I share some thoughts about Ken Honda’s book “Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money”. In today’s world there is so much fear and anxiety about money. In my life I’m working on shifting my story about money. When it comes to money we exclusively talk about quantity, but Ken Honda’s book helps us to think about the quality of our mone...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I reflect on being in a family relationship where there is a mismatch of relationship styles. I share my experience of being in a transactional style relationship with my brother and my painful decision to distance myself from him. If you have had this experience, I feel for you! I would love to hear if you have found ways to navigate transactional relatio...

Hello dear soul, welcome to the Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ In a world obsessed with logic, spreadsheets, and pro/con lists, is it wrong to make life's biggest decisions based purely on your values and authentic self? In this journal entry we explore the power of using your "Feeling" cognitive function—specifically Introverted Feeling (Fi) and Extroverted Feeling (Fe)—as a valid,...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about what’s driving our decision making. In life we can feel like we do things we didn’t want to do, we make decisions that we look back on and think why did I do that? We are frustrated and feel like we’re out of control. Personality typology can help us to understand why we make the decisions we do and can help us to make better decisions for our...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about when forgiveness means letting go of a relationship. There are times when others hurt us, but we know that no matter what we say, they won't understand why we’re hurt by their actions. I’ve seen that a lot of hurt can come from being very different from others, and having very different values from others. This can lead to being unintenti...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about why the Golden Rule doesn’t work. As we know the Golden Rule says that we should treat others the way we would wish to be treated. But I would argue that we should actually treat others the way that they wish to be treated. I think most of us unconsciously know that others are different from us and we try to think about how others in our lives...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about why people who don’t use the cognitive function of intuition as their main perception function (as opposed to sensing) should learn about the personality type framework. Because our society consists of a majority of sensors (70%), it means that that function is most understood. This can leave intuitives (30% of the population) feeling misunder...

Hello dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about why people who use the cognitive function of intuition (either Ni or Ne) as their main perception function (as opposed to sensing) should learn about the personality type framework. Because our society consists of a majority of sensors (70%) it can leave intuitives (30%) feeling misunderstood and out of sync with the world. So when we learn ab...

Dear Soul, In today’s journal entry I talk about my own journey of healing from some recent family hurt and how using personality type (MBTI) as a framework for healing has been super helpful. Firstly, personality type helps us to recognize that we potentially look at the world very differently from those who have hurt us. That they may not have intentionally hurt us, it’s just that they have a di...
