“Facts” or Racial Bias?
There are moments in your life, hopefully, that make you sit up and go “WTF?!” Today, was one of those moments for me. It came to my knowledge in my early 20’s that my education was questionable. It all started with Rosa Parks. In my so called education on the bus protests, it was…

Law of Attraction
Ever attempt the law of attraction but just can’t seem to get it right? We have these blocks, insecurities, doubts that constantly like to rear their ugly little heads. After how ever many years we have each resided on this earth, we chose to believe in another’s devaluation of who our precious souls are and…

Liminal Space
Airports, stairwells, escalators, elevators, doorways – the places that are meant for coming or going, not being. Liminal space is also a frame of mind in which we are in a period of transitioning. It is that time when our entire life has been turned upside down by some integral loss that ends up…

The Foundation of Hate?
Revelation: having hatred for others implies hatred for the self. Something to ponder… And, as a point of reference – hatred can include the following: 1. Over-generalization (ex. one bad encounter w/ someone means their entire race or culture is bad) 2. Mind-reading (assuming you know what someone else is thinking) 3. Emotional reading (assuming…

The Dark Night of the Soul
Let’s just get this out of the way, the ascension process…. it can really suck. Two weeks ago I spent several days in complete despondency.

The Bullshit We Tell

Socrates was an Athenian philosopher from around 400…

Shattering the Illusions of Self
We spent our childhoods figuring out who we are. We’ve padded our adult life with things, jobs, situations that reflect that which we think we are. And, if you’ve read the last three posts, you’ve focused even more on the Self and the many possibilities of all it is or can be. But this is not…

Breaking Out of Your Box
I’m going to tell you a little story about me. About eight year ago, I fell in love. Seven years ago, we parted ways and I ended up with a man whom I really didn’t love but moved in with anyway, knowing I was settling. As could be foreseen, it ended fairly quickly. When…

Defining the Self, part 3
What is the ultimate, the most fantastical color in the whole of the world that makes you sing with joy every time you see it, wear it, are surrounded by it? If it’s blue, what kind of blue? If it’s orange, does it have more of a yellow tone or a red? ***(Please resist saying…
