Break the Spell: Be peace in a polarized, hypnotized world


Hello dear readers, Have you ever wondered how to talk to people who aren’t in your camp, who don’t hold the same views as you do on life, politics, perhaps religion, parenting, gender identity or other issues? Why has it become suddenly so difficult to talk to people? I often feel as if I am […]

Building Our Higher Dimensional Future

Building Our Higher Dimensional Future


Hello dear readers, Love or fear? We are always making fundamental choices between frequencies of separation or unity. There are so many dystopian stories in books and film, planting seeds in our collective consciousness for a future full of war, destruction, strife, and fear. Or where safety is predicated upon external control systems, such as […]

Women and self-love

Women and self-love


Dearest readers, Why is it so easy to love a dog, a cat, a flower, even a dress, a tree but so hard to love yourself? Why are humans so hard to love? Women always talk about looking for love, but love is not something that exists outside of self. The nature of reality is […]

Remedies for loneliness: the importance of sharing and intimacy


Dearest readers, An unforeseen and preventable tragedy recently occurred in my work place. One of my younger coworkers, M. (aged 27) took his own life during the holiday break.

Vulnerability and the road to world peace


Dear readers, People say that the United States is the most powerful nation in the world. Sometimes I feel as if the U.S. is holding back world peace. Being powerful and fearing vulnerability are a tricky and dangerous combination. The United States has over 700 military bases overseas. The rest of the countries of the […]

Feeling superior: antidote to feeling vulnerable?


Hello readers, People who value compassion are generally people who realize that life is a struggle for most of us. Some of us battle with health issues. Others struggle with domestic violence, poverty, drug or alcohol addiction, unemployment. There is no life that unfolds without challenge. When we look inside our own hearts and accept […]

I can do alone all by myself


Hello readers, My friend and former therapist, Bernard, once told me that being excluded from belonging to a group, to the rest of humanity, is what all people fear most. Bernard is a really special person, and I really admire and respect him. I add to hisĀ claim, and I am pretty sure he would agree […]

Scapegoat: A History of Blaming Others… A Book Review


Hello readers, As personal responsibility and self-awareness are two of my favorite topics to ponder, you can well imagine that I was immediately drawn to British author Charlie Campbell’s 2011 book, “Scapegoat”.
