Much Ado About Nothing

As I progress though my life, in many ways it becomes a quiet tale about nothing. The things I thought mattered didn’t. The precious things were not precious. Nor were the sacred things sacred. Everything was the opposite of what I thought. The realization that I had wasted so much energy on things that later would have no significance, in itself was an epiphany moment. Nothing mattered the way it used to. The linear systems started to disappeared and there was a sense of fre

Who Knows Me Better

No one knows us better than we know ourselves. Sometimes that’s true. Other times it’s not. It might seem like an odd concept. How can anyone know me better than I know me? Can others view into a part of me that I can’t see? The answer depends on the question. There are somethings we can’t see. All of us have had a tower moment. We had to experience something that on some level was bigger than us. It was bigger than our human. At the time, we didn’t want it. It was not someth

The Many Aspects of Me

I was surprised there was so many of me. When I first explored the multidimensional concept, it seemed bizarre. How could I have so many other aspects of myself? I was me. How could there be more of me? If I embraced these “other” aspects of me, would I still be me? These questions and many more whizzed though my head like a carnival ride. How could all of these energies logically fit together? Once again, this journey called for me to throw logic out the proverbial window. A

Crossroads

The crossroads never looked like I thought. They looked like any other space. But somewhere deep down I knew the choices were bigger than they appeared. If I retraced the steps leading up to that place everything seemed clear. I wanted to take the steps. I wanted the new. I wanted to jump into a Brave New World. It was time to blaze a new trail. I never wanted to be a cautionary tale. That was not my intention. It seemed like a race between the tortoise and the hare. One part

Sorting Through Realities

The moment we realize there is not one specific reality is a defining moment. It takes the pressure off the one we are currently participating in. Especially if the one we are entertaining is not fun anymore. Realities are funny things. They take many twists and turns as we meander through them. They sometimes get so distorted we forget why we created them in the first place. Which leads to the epiphany that changes everything. We can close them down anytime we desire. That i

The Purpose Others Serve

People serve many roles in our unique stories. They play the villain, victim and savior simultaneously. They bring out the best and worst of us, mirroring back our brilliance and distortions all at the same time. They trigger our emotions to show us what we hold inside. Are we angry, sad, happy, unworthy, disappointed or merely afraid? The relationships we establish and participate in show us a lot about ourselves. Whether others are making us angry or pulling on our heart st

Why Things Collapse

Maybe they weren’t meant for us in the first place. The old sayings, “everything happens for a reason” and “everything works out for the best”, is what we hold on to. Our human aspect has to believe in something in those moments. The thought that it was right for us and it crumbled anyway doesn’t make any sense. If it was supposed to work, it would have. Right? The lesson in these moments is not that it collapsed. The thought that it was not meant to be is comforting, but aft

A Journey to Trust

Trust is defined as a firm belief in the reliability and truth of something. It seems simple enough, finding the ability to believe. In truth, it’s not that simple. It takes time to develop trust with something. Even the tangible things are not easy to believe in. People, situations, and ideals constantly let us down as we ebb and flow through life. What we thought we can trust we don’t anymore. After a while, trust becomes a four-letter word that we shutter to speak. It feel

Why We Revisit the Old

It happens to all of us. The choice was made. We adamantly decided we would never put ourselves through “that” again. We care to much about ourselves to compromise and settle for less. The lessons were learned. The mission was complete. We are ready to create something new. At least it looks new through our physical eyes. Unfortunately, our physical eyesight plays tricks on us. It sees a new “package” and tries to convince us that it’s not the same. Fortunately, are energetic

Seeing Through Our Realities

We created all of them. From the moment they were born to the moment they died, we had a cord attached to them. They filled a need for us. Whether we wanted love, recognition, validation, or acceptance our realities were there for us. No matter the level of unhappiness they brought us. We would stay with them. Some started happy but later shifted. The illusions dissolved and we were left to create something else. In our mind, they were our identity. They defined us. They gave

The Blank Space

Sometimes there is nothing. It all seems gone. There is no whisper on the wind. No hidden hand behind the curtain pointing in any specific direction. Dreams are allusive too. It feels like the connection has been lost. It’s an eerie feeling when all is quiet inside. Even thoughts that kept us occupied seem to scurry though our consciousness without leaving a footprint. It feels like no one is home. How can this be? How can we feel so unattached? This space is new. A place of

Shared Dreaming: Cracking the Dream Code

Two people in different areas dream a dream. In this existence, they would be labeled as friends. In other levels of perception, they would be labeled as members of the same soul family. The identifying factors don’t matter in the dream web we are about to weave. The true essence of the dream world is not remembered by most. Many have forgotten the vast connectedness available there. No matter the level of importance we place on the dream state, it shows everything. The trick

The Body Connection

Intuition has been called a “gut feeling.” That nagging presence that energetically points us in one direction. It was always pushing us toward something better than before. Sometimes we listened and sometimes we didn’t. No matter the path we chose we knew intuition was there somewhere. Sometimes we felt it strongly in the body other times it seemed outside somewhere, beyond our grasp. Whether it was a whisper on the wind or a knot in the stomach, it was there. Our job was t

Intuition: Why it Appears Illusive?

Intuition can feel veiled in illusion and mystical presence. It’s as if there is an impenetrable barrier between us. Is it really that simple or is the line blurred? Intuition appears to floats outside of us, waiting for the opening to be welcomed back home again. But is it truly that illusive? Only stepping in after we jump into another karmic mess? The answer lies within each of us. We can choose to keep the relationship at arm’s length. Sometimes asking for forgiveness ins

Why We Give Our Power Away?

Perhaps it’s because we don’t think we deserve it. Having complete responsibility of our universe can be a little daunting. We would have no one to blame if things go sideways. The victim mentality would be obsolete. The only person we could point a finger at would be ourselves. We would reign as supreme ruler over all situations in our life. Situations that did not make us happy would be obliterated by a wave of our hand. There would be no more compromising and taking less

Intuition: Why Don’t We Talk About It?

It is an interesting question to ask ourselves. Why don’t we feel comfortable talking about it? Sex is a more acceptable topic for discussion than our dreams, intuitive flashes, telepathic connections and vibrational existences. It never ceases to amaze me what people shy away from sharing. There was a part of me that believed it was because it was such an intimate topic. The connection with ourselves is both private and personal. But was that the real reason so many stay i

The Importance of Discernment

Discernment is defined as the ability to judge well. Intuition is defined as the ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. Discernment and intuition seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. Discernment focusing on logical reasoning while the latter defies the need for it. Actually, they are not that different at all. They are two sides of the same coin. Each one playing an integral part in shaping our realities. Intuition view

Intuition: Why We Ignore It?

Valid question, isn’t it? We know something feels wrong but we do it anyway. We put our hand up so the red flags flying in front of us are not so glaringly obvious. Why do we fear the truth? At its core that’s what intuition is: the truth of our soul. It’s the true being of what we are. It has the road map to show us the path of least resistance. But still we look the other way, not understanding why. Fear is a loaded word. We feel like saying it self-creates it. The questio

Embodying Your Inner Vision

Inner vision is a curious resource. On some level we know it is there, waiting for us to take notice. Most of the time we don’t see what it is trying to show us. Our outer vision blinds us to its wisdom, distracting us with mundane perceptions. Nuisances actually, that don’t tell us much about the true essence of things. Outer vision witnesses an illusion. Inner vision pierces through the illusion unfolding around us. Curiously with all this information at our finger tips, we

Decoding Your Matrix

We have all done it, engaged in the same thing repeatedly. We embody these patterns as life lessons. They are the moments that defined us. In the beginning, we don’t see them. The same lessons come around again and again. Eventually, we have experienced the same traumatic circumstance a dozen times. We are left disappointed, discouraged and disempowered. Sometimes we blame others but in reality it’s our creation. We allow what we allow. We participate in what we participate i
