Does your life contain recurrent themes that occur for no explicable reason? Were you born with certain innate difficulties or talents that have no bearing on your personal history or circumstances? Perhaps the answer lies in a past life... (more…)
Language might be considered the major difference between humanity and our fellow beings. Without the power of words, spoken and written, it is highly unlikely we would have achieved a fraction of the progress witnessed today.
It is often said that the pen is mightier than the sword. One may wonder, given the capabilities of modern technology. But every piece of technology began with an idea - expressed in words. And every deployment of that technology - for better or worse - begins with a word. (more…)
David was a healer. From his earliest childhood he wanted to help others and alleviate suffering. David sailed through medical school and became a successful doctor. Using his vast knowledge, alongside an indescribable instinct, he specialized in treating patients that other doctors had given up on, usually with excellent results.
As word about David spread, more and more patients came to his door. He never turned anyone away. David didn't work for money, but to fulfill his very purpose. (more…)
Poetry and music serve no practical purpose towards our survival as individuals or as a species. Despite this, both occupy a huge role in our lives.
"The pen is mightier than the sword", wrote Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Though physical weapons may yield physical submission, the heart and mind are only hardened into opposition direction by such primitive means. Sticks and stones may wound the flesh, but words have the power to penetrate the physical exterior and affect the immortal soul within. A mere word, positive or negative, has the power to inspire or destroy - be it from a girl/boy to whom we are attracted, a boss, or potentially influential client... (more…)

We've heard it all a million times: the various secrets of how to manifest lives of abundance. Every "Guru" has their own angle; a singular approach to manifesting that we've all tried. And yet, in spite of the countless Gurus offering books, programs, products, etc that espouse the "secret to manifesting" we are in the biggest Global economic and well-being crisis since the Great Depression. What does that say? That somehow we, as brilliant and intelligent human beings have failed the "secrets" that have been taught to us? I know this is not true. (more…)
A wise prayer, known as the Serenity Prayer, adopted by that noble organization Alcoholics Anonymous, runs like this:
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
And therein lies much of the key to a happy and purposeful life. (more…)
Our relationships with others provide many of the most satisfying - and frustrating - moments of the human experience.
On the one hand we are instinctively driven to seek the companionship of our fellow beings, indeed such is the complexity of the modern world that out very survival depends on co-operating with numerous others. But conversely our dealings with other people force us to sacrifice, compromise, inhibit our liberty, and are an endless source of disappointment and anger when our peers fall short of our reasonable expectations.

Many people feel that happiness somehow eludes them. Whatever they do, whichever new directions they take they cannot reach that most fundamental goal of human existence. Is happiness a gift granted only to some? Or is it within everyone's grasp, if only they knew how to find it.
Happiness isn't a place, time or certain configuration of external circumstances. It isn't a destination reached after a long and arduous journey. Happiness is a state whose potential is always there, here and now included, but one which too often we fail to realize. This article examines why, in the hope that more people may be happy more often. (more…)
One of the hardest words in the language to say is "no". Why should these two letters be so difficult to utter?
Perhaps it's the conditioning of our youth when we were told to always be nice to others? Maybe it's fear of making an "enemy" of the scorned individual, or inviting the adverse judgment of our peers or creator? Or could it be the deep knowledge that at essence we are all one and to reject another's need is to ultimately harm ourselves? (more…)
