I've discovered that for most people, the closer the relationship they may have with someone, the less they truly know them, and the less they know you. To truly know someone, we must witness or see them as they are in reality…The fact is, we all look at the world and others through a pair of proverbial 'glasses' so to speak. These glasses have tainted lenses. The closer you get to someone, the more you see them through your own set of lenses.

As a result of successfully completing this dynamic program, I can attest that I am a better coach, healer, and human being. I am more equipped now than ever before to take the next step forward in my work to end human suffering. 

I've discovered that all human beings have a story about themselves. Much of this story is unconscious, and some of it is conscious. Our story is stored in the body / mind and is largely made up of two categories:

1. Past events and situations. 
2. Perceptions about those events and situations.

When we are born, all of us are born into the context of someone else's story. This history (story rooted in the past) begins with our parents' stories. Our parents' history is the sum of the events and situations they experienced, and the perceptions about themselves based upon their conscious and unconscious perceptions of those events and situations.

Did you know that the word "fan" is a derivative of the word fanatic?

To say that someone is a fan of something is really just another way of saying that they are a fanatic about something. So, what does it mean to be a fanatic?

At death, the only thing that truly dies is the illusion of self. I’m reminded of the words of Jesus: “He who wishes to gain his life must lose it, and he who loses his life will find it".

When we accuse someone of being evil or wrong for their political views that may differ from ours, we are using accusation to try to make ourselves feel justified and safe. This is the bedrock of manipulative behavior that is all too often used in religion and politics.

Whenever we use language of accusation against someone for their political views, we unconsciously disrupt their nervous system leading to a reaction in them which leads to further reaction in us.

Although we may not intend this, when we label people as wrong or evil for their political persuasions, we invalidate their sensitivities and concerns. This can be traumatizing on an individual basis, and also on a collective basis.

It is our voice and presence that ultimately matters. It's how we show up to our day, to our relationships, and how we show up to our important work that truly makes a difference in the world and shapes our nation. Don't allow anyone to suggest otherwise. Don’t be distracted or discouraged by the illusion of someone else gaining power over you. No mater what transpires in our national elections today, you are always running your world and that is the only world that matters.

Have you ever been invited to a potluck? If you have, you know that it can be a lot of fun trying all the different dishes that each person brings. Some dishes you will naturally enjoy more than others because everyone has different tastes and preferences. When everyone brings a dish, the feast is abundant.

Did you know that relationships and connection with others is like a potluck, so to speak? 

Most people are dissatisfied with their level and quality of relational connections (lonely) precisely because they keep showing up to the potluck of life empty handed. 

For the vast majority of people on this planet, their personas, their preferences, their likes and dislikes, their opinions, their love affairs, their beliefs, and even their own personal identifications, are all a series of conscious and mostly unconscious reactions to the past. Reacting to the past simply perpetuates the past. In order to create something new, we must learn how to go beyond the past.

Authenticity is only one step on the path toward liberation. For those who are here for true liberation, the goal isn’t to be ‘real’, it’s to be actualized. 

Fear is simply unconsciousness to the reality and nature of life. The sensation of Wellbeing and Abundance is simply consciousness to the nature of reality.

In a recent interview, billionaire philanthropist, entrepreneur, and inventor Elon Musk acknowledged that he does not currently own a home…Many of us have been conditioned to think from a poverty point of reference as a default. When your starting point is a perception of lack, you will naturally seek to acquire more and more things…

Today, we have an opportunity to recognize that there is only the substance of life and light. There is nothing to oppose. The less we resist light and life, the more light and life there will be for us to experience.

Our mental focus on any subject, be it desirable or undesirable, is the attractive vibrational magnet that pulls that subject into our physical experience. 

Be sure you cultivate a real life within yourself so you don’t have to settle for the manufactured high of seeking out new events, situations, or people to meet your own unconscious and unfulfilled egoic needs.

The truth is, meditation isn’t something you ‘try’ so you can achieve a result. If you’ve been approaching meditation this way, you haven’t yet understood it. 

The truth is, everyone’s life is their own making. If someone is committed to being miserable and dis-empowered, we can allow them to be miserable and dis-empowered. This is a major key to our own liberation, and eventually theirs.
