What Are You Waiting for?
I’m stuck at A and want to get to Z. As soon as I know what Steps C through Y are — as soon as I make sure Steps C through Y are there for me — I’ll happily proceed to Step B. That’s the responsible, logical, safe way to proceed.
What Should I Do?
I generally have problems with the word should. Language and word choice have a powerful effect on thought-forms; certain words can color — or shade — the energy of your intentions in subtle ways that you are not consciously aware of. This post is an extension of the conversation I started in Better Messages for…
Humanity Ascending — Spiritual Online Films
Any society that has lost a positive image of its future will perish… You already know where we’ve been. But are you ready for where we are going?
Teaching What You Came Here to Learn
We teach best what we came here to learn — the double-edged sword of life lessons and life purpose — that the very things you learn the hard way, that you may view as your curses, your challenges, your struggles, are often deeply connected to the wisdom you are meant to share.

When working with your spirit guides, asking from a place of powerlessness, with no clear intent or direction, is spiritually impotent and frustrating for everyone involved.

Spinning Your Story
There’s not a single person on the planet who doesn’t have all the necessary ingredients for tragedy.

The Keys to a Magical World View
You feel it’s appropriate for your Inner Child to reign in your dreaming, creative, divine, spiritual aspect; so why do you put him to bed and call in some “more Adult” perspective when interpreting the signs and symbols of your waking, conscious experience?

Slade : Meaning of The Name Slade
Yes, my “real” name is Slade — it’s not a chosen name; I didn’t change my name as a rite of passage; it’s not a pen name, pagan name, or faerie name. It’s just my name — a damn cool one, if I do say so myself — given to me by my Mama while…

How You Can Stop Feeling Like a Failure
You can’t fall in love with your life — you can’t play the Hero — if you don’t first cast yourself in that role — if you can’t see that you — and only you — are PERFECT for the part.
If Money Was A Person, Who Would Money Be?
Lack of money/ lack of abundance in your life has everything to do with your sense of self-worth.
