We generally define faith as a kind of knowing—we believe strongly and therefore trust. Some of us were raised in traditional religious backgrounds in which that kind of faith was considered to be essential to our final post-life ascendance into heaven. And that kind of elegant influence has been around for so many centuries now that it is archetypal—it impacts us in deep unconscious ways that we may not even understand. Further, even when we begin to wonder if that definition of faith is really...

We’ve all made promises to ourselves that we would change something about our behavior or attitudes only to find ourselves back in the same old rut not too long after we made that promise. If we can’t even make the surface changes, how in the world are we going to make the deep changes? Most of us don’t even consider the possibility—so we just work on things like changing behavior, and thoughts. But what we don’t know is that the reason these more surface changes are so hard to make is because w...

From every angle, we are basically being told that our emotions are at best invalid, and at worst, influences that lead us astray. From the rational intellectual world, we are taught that our feelings are just fleeting, fickle, flights that have no more value to us than the wind blowing. From the traditional religious world we learn that our emotions are not only fleeting, fickle and invalid, but also could lead us into temptation. From the New Age/New Thought world we are currently being told t...

You know we spend the first half of our adjustment to any circumstance trying to figure out why it happened just the way it did. Even the good circumstances. We try to make them mean something. All too often, our interpretations of the events in our lives turn out to mean that we are not good enough yet for the good stuff.

Do you know what your shadow knows? The shadow is getting kind of a bad rap these days. More than anything else, the gossip about the shadow has it that the shadow is filled to overflowing with all the “evil” we are hiding in there.

And more importantly, there is much, much more hidden in our shadows then all the scary things we imagine. In fact, you may be profoundly surprised...
