Thought Catching
Thought catching is not for the feint hearted. I have to be willing to face all the thoughts I catch. It can be horrifying. It can be embarrassing.
Letting Go Little By Little
I’m imagining my body being in sync with this spring season, warming up and effortlessly melting away the excess that has accumulated over the winter months - letting go little by little – and then letting go some more.
Spiritual Awakening ~ The Dance of Soul and Personality
The soul’s destiny is to learn to perfect its influence. This means that its ability to express and work through our form (the personality) and express in the world is its practice.

The Problem Of Instant Replay
I couldn’t escape the conclusion that telling and retelling the story was making me feel worse – every time. I had to ask myself – what is the point of retelling the story?
The Gift of True Being
Our greatest reward, our true being, comes when we are willing to face our fears and darkness head-on. When we are willing to go into the deepest part of the unconscious, called a transition zone, we can experience this as emptiness or a void. Following this path will bring you into contact with your real being.
