When you have a problem, what happens? You think it out, you wallow in it, you fuss over it, you get wildly excited about it; and the more you analyze it, dig into it, polish it, worry about it, the less you understand it. But the moment you put it away from you, you understand it—the whole thing is suddenly very clear. Continue reading

You may have repaired numerous ‘boat holes’ along the way…
A man was asked to paint a boat.
He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him.
While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it.
When finished painting, he received his money and left. Continue reading
Developing an Inclusive Consciousness
New Year Aspiration
“To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.”
—Hermann Hesse

Dalai Lama – The Power of Forgiveness
we come factory equipped for cooperation, compassion, and generosity..
There are four independent brain circuits that influence our lasting well-being, Davidson explained.
The first is “our ability to maintain positive states.” It makes sense that the ability to maintain positive states or positive emotions would directly impact one’s ability to experience happiness. These two great spiritual leaders were saying that the fastest way to this state is to start with love and compassion. Continue reading

Book Recommendation – The Edgar Cayce Primer – Discovering the path to Self Transformation
“While Edgar Cayce may indeed be “the sleeping prophet,” Herbert Puryear is some type of angel himself in how he interprets Cayce’s work. This book is so far beyond anything I’ve read in the spiritual/New Age realm that it needs to take its place in the pantheon of all-time great non-fiction works.
As others have noted, Puryear’s tone is almost scientific, but don’t fear boredom or confusion by my using that word. Each sentence is so loaded with such profound truths and wisdoms that very often, I could only read a few paragraphs before having to put it down in order to reflect on what I’d just read. Puryear is a genius, pure and simple, and it’s his generosity of heart and spirit that gives the work a poignancy one finds in any great work of art. Believe me, it’s that good.
This will have a permanent home on my bookshelf, and I’m sure that as I read it again and again, I’ll discover buried truths I didn’t see (or wasn’t ready for) the first time around.”
Seriously, I can’t believe someone is out there who can write this well. Do yourself a favor and buy it.
Controlling others
The 4 Control Dramas
Almost all humans, because of their upbringing, manipulate for energy either aggressively (directly forcing people to pay attention to them), or passively (playing on people’s sympathy or curiosity to gain attention). Continue reading
