Celebrating Intuition: Introducing the Trust the Voice Within Movement

woman_senior

After watching the movie I AM, I was having a rather animated discussion with God about why such movies don't talk more about intuition. Movies like What The Bleep Do We Know?!, The Celestine Prophecy, The Living Matrix and I AM all touch on intuition, but they don't spend much time on its importance. When I was done ranting, the words came into my head to start a movement that will help people understand what the "voice within" is and how to live by it. Psychic abilities, life after … [Read more...]

Fearology

fearful

One of the biggest limitations we all face, as we try to find this point of power, is fear. No one escapes this limitation in some form or another. Once, early in my consciousness studies, I was ruminating on the idea of power. I decided I would look for my power in a meditation. Once still and quiet, I looked around and saw a ladder leading up. I climbed for a very long time up beyond the clouds, and came to the edge of a wall. Over that wall, I knew I would find my power. I peered over that … [Read more...]

Love is not Approval

love_ocean

Your deepest need is to feel loved, no matter what. No conditions. Yet, too often you hear an inside voice that says, "In order to be loved, I must do things right!" You acquired this voice from the many negative messages you heard in childhood about what you did wrong. You came to conclude that you were not good enough or worthy to be loved unless you did things "right." Thus, "love" got confused with... approval! If you feel like you need outside authorization to feel important or valuable, … [Read more...]

Surrendering to the Universe

restaurant

Sometimes I forget what it means to surrender my will to the Universe. It doesn't mean I no longer get to choose what I want. It means I let go of trying to control how I get what I want. Here's what surrender looks like to me. Two weeks ago I ate dinner at Joe's Grill. I sat by the window where I could see the river and a gorgeous sunset. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. After I ordered, Joe asked me to sample a wine that he's considering adding to his wine list. It was … [Read more...]

A Walk in the Woods with John Haines

Ricci2

"We speak of nature, of the natural world, as if that were something distinct from ourselves and the social world we appear to have made, seldom noticing that we are in NATURE and never out of it..." - John Haines, "Fables and Distances" (1) - Introduction It is early October with the sun just above the eastern hills. Shadows from tall aspen, elm and oak lie diagonally across the trail (cut years ago by workers building a mill near the river). I walk alone. A carved oak branch provides … [Read more...]

Oh God, Oh God, This is my Destiny

jesus

Is our experience of life as a victim or a victor a choice -- or our destiny? In reference to my previously published article in the April 2010 Edge called, "Relationship and Oneness," I would like to re-examine Jeshua's plea, "Oh God, why have you forsaken me," and determine the truth of his experience as he hung dying on the cross, appearing to be a victim of the hatred and ignorance of the people of the world at that time. What is the truth of this apparent victim scenario? Perhaps it is a … [Read more...]

Waking to Unity

tornado

Some wake up easily while others need to be jarred out of sleep. New ways of thinking or paradigm shifts work in much the same way. Some take to them easily while others need a much more dramatic event to awaken them to a new idea. The idea of Unity isn't new or New Age. Since the beginning of recorded history, there have been people awake, aware and speaking this truth. The messengers have come from all parts of the world, in every century -- and while some have been revered, many have died … [Read more...]

Spirituality & Consciousness

abstract_light2

What does being a spiritually conscious person really mean? Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality, an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being or the deepest values and meanings by which people live. Does being a spiritually conscious person mean we no longer have strong emotions one way or another, positive or negative? Or does it suggest that to be in higher consciousness we are no longer with emotions, regardless of what is … [Read more...]

The Dreamer’s Time

island

An Australian Aboriginal sits quietly beside the sacred rock that has been revered by his tribe for an unspeakable length of time. His eyes close and he chants. An observer would believe he has entered another reality, but to the Aboriginal there is only one reality - the Dreamtime. In Aboriginal Dreamtime, there is a Dream in which everyone and everything is being Dreamed, and there is the Dreamer. The connection between the Dream and the Dreamer is the process of Dreaming. We all have the … [Read more...]
