FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational Spirituality

People spent ENORMOUS amounts of time and energy looking for the "right" one and are frequently looking in the wrong place, or putting responsibility outside of them. There isn't a Master Puppeter just itching to bring you the perfect partner. It's more of a preparation game than you think.   And you might be looking in the wrong place and not having fun while doing it. 

You know what good head is, but your real head gets in the way of the orgasmic bliss of a good life all the time. What's waiting for you beyond your daily thinking which is distorted by over-thinking anxiety is the life of freedom and contentment you crave. How can you even begin to get past the harm done to you that you're still stewing over? You get clear and you get calm and you try the path of...

I know, you have a lot of rights you feel like people are going to take away from you. You spend a lot of time asserting those rights in defense of the fear others hold over you. However, have you recently stopped to consider what you DO have the right to do but should stop because it doesn't actually create any more space for your rights - while it also pisses people off? Think about it a new set...

If you don't have a vision, it's hard to establish a goal. This is so simply because without imagination, your end result has no spark...no capacity to magnify the world or people. Your brand is YOU - who you are, how you speak, what you want, and how you'll get where you're going. It's the concept - the why - behind being alive. And it needs to get into the world and shake things up! If you're un...

You could be missing out on great vocational purpose and fulfilling work because you think of work as a four-letter word. The conundrum with this is that you'll spend way too many hours trying to GET something out of work while giving NOTHING to it. In other words, the days are flat...the mission useless...the people not measuring up. All of this would be resolved if you could change your percepti...

Learning to BE with life will help you balance your energy for proper and most maximum effect. If brokenness happens to you, if you feel darkness and despair, your over-intellectual mind will lead you to over-thinking which augments your negative feelings. Most things are small experiences that you keep mulling over and fighting, which makes them larger and most painful. When you remind yourself t...

Hope is highly useful for keeping us going emotionally and mentally. Hoping for the Best is a great attitude. But hope, in and of itself, is nothing but a feeling going neither up or down nor into good or bad. When you add simple actions, the hope become a bona fide strong hold for living a truly succesful life from the inside out. We are only the energy we are creating and hope is a foundation th...

We all have darkness inside. That's never been the problem. The real problem is the mis-use and misunderstanding of darkness...of how and why it can be beneficial. Along with that, when you are trying to relate to your darkness, blank spots and lack of self-esteem, you'll find people who will validate you too well, thereby helping you stay stuck while saying they're helping you get out of it. Belo...

When you're older and you cannot remember your own innocence, you'll suffer more from your unhappiness.  If you've learned to be unforgiving and believe the world is out to get you, instead of accepting what's happening and being flexible to job, life and love changes, you falter around finding new ways to emerge from the types of crises that affect ALL of us at one time or another.  Life is not a...

When confronted with how to change, most people become overwhelmed before they even begin. Such questions as: How do I change? Where do I start? and What should I do? - being vague in nature - become the starting place for a quick ending. When you can't define a path or see things as manageable most people quickly give up. This is a truth around anything from changing careers, growing a business,...

You think you know what love is? Of course you do because it's what it is to you - what it feels like, looks like, sounds like, smells like. But what IS it REALLY?  Is it a feeling? Is it an experience? Is it simply everything all at once...the convergence of energies that will alter your existence, even if only for a brief moment in time? If you ask me, love is the highest vibrational force in th...

If you're like me you might have learned that kharma is about some big-bad God waiting to get back on you for everything from a minor fault to an egregioius mistake. Realistically, universally and simply, kharma, according to Dr. Lynn Anderson, is about cause and effect. And EVERYTHING you do is the cause of something else. Now, you don't need to worry about that person you offended so much as you...

Your work life is never far away from who you are. Many people want to bring more of themselves to their work but don't understand why they don't feel fulfilled. It's probably because fulfillment is not something that you get just by showing up and getting a paycheck. You have to be invested in a vocation, a calling, with who you really are. Some think that the overall change we seek in business b...

Getting your entire life into LOVE mode takes the kind of work that's about practice. And that practice can last a lifetime. Because even though we were born to love, we have had TOO much practice learning to fear. Yet, as Nina Presman reminds us, fear, although distinct, dark and seemingly overpowering, will ALWAYS vibrate lower than love. How does one start the shift in the direction of love? Ho...

If you've ever enjoyed a good magic show as a child, you know how fun, mysterious and enlightening it can be. As adults, we've been looking at our lives as way too pragmatic, not enviable and definitely like a computer program that we haven't exactly gotten to run quite right. In other words, we're in a loop...a loop of boredom, mediocrity, lack of questioning, and FEAR. So the big question is WHA...

Many people feel they need more guidance than ever...but the people, places and systems they used to be guided by in the past (media, government, work, authority, etc) haven't been working quite as well. Even the weatherman (or is it weatherperson?) seems to be wrong more than ever. WTH do we do NOW? We do what we should have been doing in the first place - relying on our own intrinsic power, our...

Everyone wants to win or -  at the very least - not feel like a loser. Despite all types of money and successes, deep inside a lot of people is the "not enough/loser" feeling. If you have that, "losing" will continue to follow you despite anything you acquire. Since everything you acquire is on loan, choosing to chase "stuff" prevents you from working out the kinks in your foundation that prevent...

When you're angry,  have you ever tried Counting to 10...before you do or say anything? Or, when learning a new sport or a musical instrument, using some form of counting brings your mind to the task - and to the present moment. And, it's  always the present moment where things happen and love & learning occur. When your mind is focused on one task, all sorts of solutions appear. A gateway to grea...

If you've ever sought to change another, you know it's not as simple as having ONE conversation and expecting them to change. Progress and the process take a lot of time. Nature is of the highest order in the decision to change even one thing about yourself . In particular, when it comes to another person, self-acceptance will allow you to understand that their transformation need not be part of ...

Are you sitting comfortably surrounded by people who talk and think like you do? Do you see/spend time only with people who agree with, or relate to,  everything you say? Have you also taken it upon yourself to find media which keeps you stuck in this bubble? When was the last time you let your mind wander to the space where people are "on the other side", thinking very unlike you? There are lots...

Your mind is capable of higher thinking - MUCH higher than you can imagine. But your thoughts have to get out of the way. Sounds like opposite ideas, but your mind isn't just about your thinking, especially when it's detached from your heart or soul. This is the story of me obsessing about not remembering the combination of a lock on my bicycle. This obsession lasted a solid three days. I had to l...

Reality is not necessarily REAL. How  do you define reality? How do you know that you  know reality ?  I'm pretty sure that reality is not one's opinions...because opinions come from intellect- and are often ego-based. Convincing other people of the need to see and believe what  YOU believe is not reality, it's your conviction and drive to have others see you, i.e., your perception. Your reality i...

You pass on SO much inforation that you don't question. As a matter of fact, you have layers upon layers of beliefs that are cemented and are making/keeping your soul sick. Then, because of prolonged sickness, your perceptions are continuing to be limited. Your realit(ies) were gathered before you learned to question - you just BELIEVED. You validated and sought out continued confirmation - throug...

Our lives are full of a lot of emotion these days. The way you feel can be validated by finding like people and communities who provide security, belonging or comfort. This is GOOD. Yet, these spaces of comfort can provide limited thinking and can enhance narrow minds, becoming a bubble because their purpose is to inflate a "safety zone." What happens when that bubble becomes destructive and you s...

Awareness, awareness, awareness. It's key and it's also not about you being aware of me, but me being aware of myself. What is it that awareness is supposed to do ? Do we need more awareness when, in fact, there is more awareness than ever and things don't seem to be going away? It seems to me that the "awareness-building" media are creating more openings for more pleas for more awareness. But onc...
