“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. ” – Johann Von Goethe
“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. ” – Johann Von Goethe I got this quote today after having a late night of dealing with buried emotions from my past in a very productive and somewhat intuitive way. Thankfully, I resolved these emotions and saw the incident they were tied to in a whole new light. But this happened only because I was willing to ask for a better understanding. In fact, I asked “if we are put in circumstances for our best and highest development, then why did this happen?” It took a lot of stilling my mind and letting go of urges to seek some external re-source for the answer for me to just be still and allow the answer to come. Finally, I began to see how this incident had caused a clear...
Your True Currency may not be what you think!
I love the daily emails I receive from Wes Hopper of http://ping.fm/19UWJ I’m posting todays’ because it is a great message about what our real currency is. Not money, but something even more powerful: ” ‘If you have an idea, you’re not broke, and the human mind will never run out of great ideas’ Matt Furey Most people, when they need stuff, like money, will wish, pray or vision the wrong thing. They’ll focus on stuff! That’s neither scientifically or spiritually correct. These days both science and spirit are converging on a view of the Universe that no longer sees matter, or stuff, as fundamental. They see that at its deepest level the Universe is formed from consciousness. You can think of that as Mind. And...

Lessons from Rocks & Sand, Ration & Inspiration
Two stories came to mind today, both involving rocks and sand, that reminded me of interesting lessons. You may have heard the first, but I’d like to recount it here: “A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about 2″ diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them in to the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The students laughed He asked his students again if the jar was full? They agreed that yes, it was. The...
