Hundreds of movies and songs have pointed to it. Books and poems have alluded to it. Religions have embraced it: love is all the world needs to solve its problems. Yet, for most of the year, this message lingers in the background. Too often, we seem to forget the power of love until, thankfully… the […]
There’s no doubt that the pursuit of our Personal Mission follows common stages as we move through life. Yet, although the ages at which we reach key milestones will naturally differ, one important aspect affecting the rate at which we spiritually advance, is the messages we receive as children. The Sixth Insight describes how our […]
The Eighth Insight stresses that children, as the end points in evolution, need unconditional energy flowing toward them in order to evolve. In order to thrive, they need to be around adults who can give them physical, emotional, and mental nourishment. As the Insight points out, draining their energy while correcting them creates control dramas. […]
The door closes. They are gone. That part of your life is now in the past, and the one you loved is yours no more. Sometimes, a break-up will be filled with immediate relief (mostly, it will be filled with sadness) but this scenario has the potential to tear your heart from your chest and […]
The other day my 4-year-old stood up on a kitchen chair, pointed a finger at his Dad and said, loudly, “Hey, hey, stop talking over me. You’re talking over me.” While I originally brought it up to a friend of mine as a cute, clever story about my child, it sparked a conversation about how […]
We have a way of fearing change that affects our ability to flow from one direction to another. Transition can be a difficult thing for everyone, especially when we are blind-sided by it.

In this way, we can take the steps to transcend and interpret them on a much deeper level, both spiritually and psychologically. People seek to control others. It can be seen that […]
We’ve all been there. We have a friend, loved one, partner or co-worker who starts complaining about how life has dealt them some pretty rotten hands. They go on and on. They’re inconsolable. We may care and want to help them, but we may find ourselves needing space from their constant pessimism and complaining, which […]
As I write this, I’m very conscious that if I’d undertaken this activity centuries ago, I would have most likely been hanged or burnt at the stake for the words I’m about to document. I’d have been seen as a witch, a heretic, crazy, and perhaps even a danger to society. But thankfully the year […]
One of my favorite books, The Celestine Prophecy, introduced me to the idea of Control Dramas, of which there are four (Intimidator, Interrogator/Critic, Aloof, and Poor Me). There are frequent questions about the Control Dramas, how to recognize them, and most importantly, how to step out of the drama. All these questions have prompted me […]
