When you assume you make an ass out of you and me. Why? Because assumptions aren’t based in fact. But we love to make them because they pull us out of the present moment and send us speeding into a projected future that distracts us from now. We’re so familiar with letting our mind runRead more

When we’re on the outside looking in, when we compare ourselves to others, when we listen to the glossy, photo-shopped stories the media feeds us about people who’ve “made it,” we often feel like there’s something wrong with us. We lack what other people have. I remember early on during my spiritual path when IRead more
Joseph Campbell said, “We are so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.” For many of us, we’ve never been taught to identify with an inner journey; how to self explore. SoRead more
You gain thirty pounds. Your essential nature is the same. You get dumped. Your essential nature is the same. You turn 30. Your essential nature is the same. Your agent drops you. Your essential nature is the same. Your essential nature – who it is that we all are – transcends our age, social status,Read more
People often ask me, “Why do we have ego?” Well without it, you wouldn’t be able to know that there’s another part of you. Something grander. More brave. More joyous. The soulful part of you. Spirit.

The paradox of Schrödinger’s cat is indeed weird. It demonstrates that in a hypothetical experiment – in the world of the quantum – a live cat put in a box with radioactive decay that could possibly be released and therefore kill the cat, experiences two different wave forms superimposed on each other. In other words,Read more
Do you realize how powerful you are? How you can become actualized in your life in a way that empowers yourself and others? As you become more and more self-actualized (which is really self-empowerment) you move from a preponderance of insignificant upsets, distractions and nuisances in your life to greater accomplishments. You stop spending timeRead more
Our self-judgments originate from all sorts of unreliable sources. They then take roost in our left brains and create a neural groove that reboots itself over and over as our self-dialogue becomes infected with these untruths. If you’ve survived in any business for any length of time, you’ve probably heard it all. Hearing something someoneRead more
Do we ever graduate from school? The wanting to be liked? Or popular? Or more attractive? Or more “cool?” At one level – no – because what everyone struggles with as adults are the same core issues that high school traumas (like surviving lunch period!) brought up for us: thinking that we’re not good enoughRead more
Life is full of challenges. That’s the way it is. It makes it interesting and builds character. But we don’t like them, do we? We mislabel them as “problems” because we’re taught culturally to seek pleasure and avoid pain at all costs. We’re spoon-fed images that life is about having the perfect house with theRead more
