Jill Bolte Taylor-An Amazing Video

This is a fantastic video. It is a presentation by Jill Bolte Taylor.  It is really quite interesting. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist who experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain in 1996. On the afternoon of this rare form of stroke (AVM), she could not…

The 10 Most Revealing Psych Experiments

I have posted previous articles about tendencies that humans have.  When we read things about what people actually do…and not just what they think they would do, or say they will do, we find a very diverging pattern.  And of course to that most people say “But not me!”  Some very revealing studies are summarized…

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…

A Time For Action

There is so much great info out there, that it can be almost overwhelming.  Consuming information can also be a convenient crutch for not doing the things we want to do with our life.  We fall back on the excuse that we want to learn more before going forward with something, failing to realize that…

Your Current Issue May Need Some Perspective…

As I was looking through some old posts on the site today, I realized that while they are categorized, many of them may not be read again as they are buried behind all sorts of new posts.  Some of those posts had excellent information, and so I thought I would do a little summary of…

Moving Towards Our Personal Legend

In a few of the last posts I have discussed our personal legend, our vision for our life, or seeing our personal evolution unfold. By looking at this we saw some things which often keep people from living their vision, such as “having a dream of something is as powerful as actually  living the vision,”…

If We Have Freewill, Are We Actually Using It

I think many people agree with freewill, and for this quick article I will assume that freewill exists.  The topic of freewill will be covered in a separate post, but feel free to post comments on freewill (whether it exists or not) here.  I believe it does exist.  But here is something interesting, if freewill…

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…

Why we Self Sabatage and Knowing When We Do It

Why do people continue to choose actions and indulge in behaviors that they know bring negativity and inspire resentment and disgust in their relationships? What is the pay off in the end for risking human relations? The above questions was proposed, and it is very interesting. I have my own views on this, but before…

Our Path to Healing – 3

This is a continuation of the earlier posts on this topic.  If this does not make sense on its own, please see the two earlier posts on Our Path andOur Path to Healing. ……. The question arises, when we talk discuss healing, about childhood illness and chronic disease.  How can someone who has just come…

The Next Level of Peace or Enlightenment

The following is a great little story and has an important point to it which will be discussed after. Buddha reached the gate of heaven. Of course, the people there were waiting. They opened the door, they welcomed him, but he turned his back towards the door looked at the world — millions of souls…

Our Path and Our Path to Healing -2

This article is a continuation of the last two notes involving our path.  This note goes specifically into the process of how to deal with pain.  It involves three steps.  Some of these have been discussed generally in the previous notes. The first step is to realize that pain is a beacon which should not…
