Can the world be repaired?

Last week, I was walking along the street and overheard a man on a motorcycle who was stopped at an intersection. I heard him exclaim into his phone “It is impossible to repair the world!”, and then he rode off. This man’s statement caught my attention, and I decided to ask Spirit if this statement is true.

Here is what Spirit shared with me:

“The view that the world is unfixable is incorrect. Many things can be fixed, but they require clear vision and purpose. Relationships among peo...

Showing up for life

We are born and bestowed with a body that functions (usually) and a brain that learns to protect us, guide our experimentations, and oversee our connections to people, plants, animals, and deity. We are given a life to live, with a soul that is like a fingerprint: ours and ours alone.

Having the body and the brains and the soul are not enough to create a life that is true. Our lives also requires vision: a vision that guides us towards the future and a vision that turns inwards and sees o...

Embellished living and returning to the basics

When I started writing down the spiritual guidance, the first book I wrote contained a lot of information about life in the modern world and our expectations and responsibilities. I’m rereading this book, and one chapter particularly jumps out at me. It’s called “Embellishments” and its focus is on how most of us live “embellished” lives in which we focus on more than the basics of living. The emergence of the pandemic draws me to this chapter. Here are excerpts from it:

“Once a person’s basic ...

Drugs for creating a world of havoc

They think these drugs will help them–>the ritalin and the adderall and the focalin and the vyvanse and the others. They think their problems need a pill that will cure them and make their world rosy. They think there’s something wrong with them because they don’t fit into the little boxes that society has created for them. And they think that they will be better people when they are drugged.

Here’s what Spirit says to all of that–>the drugs are poison and the pushers of these poisons are...

Stuttering

Currently, there is interest in the speech issue of stuttering, so I’m reposting this earlier blog post.

Many pressures such as unrealistic expectations, fear, hardness, or other oppressive treatment can cause off-balanced behavior in children that leaves them feeling unsure, unsteady, and undone so that they do not feel complete in their true selves. Each person is born with a temperament, likes, dislikes, and more, and sometimes the caregivers are unable to handle the child’s way of being. Ev...

Breathing with a mask

Wearing a mask can affect health when the breathing is too restricted. The positioning of the mask and its comfort on the face are important for overall health.A mask that compresses the nostrils or constricts the jaw affects natural breathing and blood flow. A mask that bruises the area behind the ears or cuts into the chin affects the immune system and the flow of lymph.

Breathing is also affected by the mask’s effects on feelings. Feelings of anger, fear, or powerlessness can cause breathing...

“The Food 20/20 Plan”, Kindle version!

 

“‘The Food 20/20 Plan’ uses colors, shapes, and line types to describe the relationships among elements of the plan. The dashed lines present non-food aspects of eating. Appreciation is emphasized with two dashed lines because of its important effects on health.

The food groups decrease in size to indicate the amounts to be eaten. The foods in the green group–vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes–are meant to be eaten as the main elements of a healthful diet. The other food group...

Loving ourselves joyfully!

“Joyful love is love that is bestowed without conditions and without expectations. Joyful love can be felt when overcome by the beauty of nature, when immersed in the attention of a playful animal, when mesmerized by the exquisiteness of an infant, and when experiencing the love of a person who has strong feelings of love in return. Joyful love is felt more strongly when it is allowed to spread and is given towards oneself as well.” –from the chapter “Unexpectant Love” in Exploring Energy Guida...

The impact of spiritual expression

Spiritual expression refers to more than religious affiliation.

Having religious affiliation does not automatically instill spiritual connection. Even people who outwardly show religious fervor by donning the clothing of the devout or attending religious ceremonies regularly are not necessarily experiencing spiritual connection.

Religious affiliation is one avenue towards spiritual connection, but there are many other ways to achieve it. Pondering the beauty of a tree or the crush of the waves ...
