Are You Living From Your True Self, or From Your Ego?

Learning to Live from Your True Self: Mountain Edge Surrounded by Clouds

What would a life living as the true Self look like? What would it mean to totally drop any pretense of identification with the ego?

Would it leave you wandering life aimlessly, or would you live with greater purpose and direction than ever? Would you lose all of your desires, or would they manifest all the more easily?

Most importantly, is such a life within your grasp, or is it only accessible by fully-enlightened masters?

In last Monday’s post, I mentioned the importance of persistence in manifesting your goals. This generated a bit of a discussion on the forum about living from the true Self. I promised I would write a post on that topic, and so, here we are. :)… Read More »

Saying Yes to Life: Walking the Path of Radical Acceptance

Living a Life of Complete Allowing: Two Kites flying in the Wind

What if life could be simple?

What if life could be absolutely and totally safe?

And what if life knew, moment-by-moment, exactly what you needed, so that you would never want?

Most of us try to create a life that gives us all of these things. We try to find our own path to happiness.

But what if happiness were right here, waiting to be discovered in the last place we would expect?

And, finally, what if the only key to that happiness was the willingness to say, absolutely and unconditionally, “yes” to life as it arose?

I've hinted at this in my recent posts, but today, I'd like to take that to the next level.… Read More »

What Is the Purpose of the Material World?

The Material World: Friend or Foe? Image Showing Various Material Possessions

Last week, on my post, Why You Want What You Want: Moving Beyond All Desire, we had a great discussion in the comments. One of the big questions that was raised was what exactly is the purpose of the material world?

The issue is that there are two general views about the material world, both of which are on extreme ends of the spectrum.

On the one hand, those who pursue a spiritual path to enlightenment or Self-realization often believe that the material world is to be avoided. It is thought that all desires lead to suffering.

On the other hand, those who practice the law of attraction often believe that our desires are everything—that in fact the sole reason we are here is to fulfill our desires.

As is the case so often with these matters, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Buddha was on to something when he taught about the middle way. 🙂

But, what is this middle way? How can the spiritual and the material be reconciled? Could the material world actually aid us in our pursuit of greater freedom?… Read More »

Why You Want What You Want: Moving Beyond All Desire

The Key to Greater Happiness: A Set of Silver Keys on Table

You know what you want, right? If you believe in the LOA, you probably have a list of your intentions ready to go at the top of your head, or written down on some list somewhere.

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, why do you want what you want?

Okay, there’s the obvious. Maybe you want more money so you can pay the bills, or for greater peace of mind. Maybe you want a relationship because you don’t want to be alone, and you want a companion to share life with. And maybe you want health because… actually that one’s pretty obvious.

But, go beyond those simplistic reasons.

No, I’m not dismissing your reasons, or calling them invalid.

But let’s explore the root of wanting.

“Why would I want to do that?” you ask.

Well, it’s simple. Have you ever considered that your wanting for this or that thing, is exactly what is keeping you trapped in a life of more and more wanting?

It was the Buddha who said that to desire is to suffer.

But, don’t worry. I’m not going to tell you you should give up your goals.

However, if you don’t understand precisely where this wanting stems from, then even if you were ever to achieve your goal, it would not provide what you wanted.

It would actually just lead to another chase for something more.… Read More »
