Self-Help, Negative Emotions, the Childifying of Western Society and What To Do About It

Self-Help, Negative Emotions, the Childifying of Western Society  and What To Do About It By Cory Mitchell It began as a movement to enlighten, to improve lives and fulfil the eternal quest so many of us have for “happiness,” yet the result has been the opposite. What has resulted is a society dominated by the inner child,…

The Magnet of the Past

What I find in front of me, and just out of reach, is only so because I am tethered to my past.  Past experiences, past emotions – good and bad.  Each experience and the emotion creates a moment in time, a spark that is more likely to be remembered because it has an emotional imprint…and…

The Life of Trees

The Woman – A Poem of Liberation

I have no idea why I wrote this, all I know is that I was supposed to. I don’t think I have written a poem in my life, and have never considered it my strong suit haha, but maybe this will hit a cord with whoever needed to hear it. If not, I guess it…

A New Life

It is very interesting how different fields of thought talk about losing the ego and not identifying with anything (but rather everything) but then in the same stroke call this “enlightenment”.  This has been a conundrum for spiritual seekers (and here in lies the problem…”seekers”) for a long time.  I think we need to need…

Your Current Issue May Need Some Perspective…

Self Sabatoge, Conflict, Problems, Unrest and the Evolution of the Self

It took some time for me to figure out how exactly I wanted to approach this issue. A book could be written on this topic, but for now I will try to paint a portrait of this idea using a few words. I struggle with releasing this, because like a detailed scene, trying to describe…
