Q&A
1. When we talk about consciousness what do we mean? What is consciousness?
1. Well, Angelo, when I talk about consciousness, I am referring to those thoughts and feelings that are hidden or buried deep within our body, mind, and soul. They surface at times, and we briefly consider them. If they are painful, we push them away. Unfortunately, beautiful thoughts and feelings rarely surface as memories. I suppose that is the human condition.
2. Is it possible to seek a personal journey without letting go of pain?
2. I believe that seeking a personal journey is a great step toward letting go of the pain. Seeking a personal or spiritual journey is a desire to grow, to stretch our wings, to open to life and spirit, and to discover who we are and why we are the way we are.
3. Persistence VS Patience, which one is more difficult?
3. Persistence is to keep at it, to keep trying.
Patience is to not give up when we don't immediately get the results we hoped to get.
4. We all want a healthy life, where should we stay focused?
4. Angelo, I believe that being conscientious is the best place to start. We all desire to do what is right, what is best for us. And, I believe that, with time, we become more conscious and more aware of how our actions affect others and our world. Awareness can be fine-tuned. For example, we can become aware of each bite of food that we eat, each sip of beverage that we drink, each aroma that we smell, each landscape we view, each hug or handshake we give or receive. Did you notice that I used the five senses?
5. What’s the meaning of family?
5. In the past, the family unit usually consisted of at least one parent and his or her children. Now, in our modern world, the meaning has changed... a lot. A family unit can be any group of people who desires to share food, shelter, and resources.
Some of us who have had difficult birth families – the parents and siblings that we were born into have found family or like-minded brothers and sisters wherever we could. I suppose it is safe to say that any group of people who care about the welfare of those individuals and desire to be a family is considered family.
6. Why is it difficult to come across unconditional acceptance?
6. I believe that question has a simple answer: We cannot unconditionally accept anyone unless we unconditionally accept ourselves.
That expands as we grow. Once we learn to love ourselves, we have love to give others. Once we learn to forgive ourselves, we have forgiveness for others. Once we learn to accept and love ourselves, we can love and accept others. We must apply the same love, acceptance, and forgiveness to ourselves before we have anything left to give to others.
7. Trapped Emotions VS personality development, what do you think?
7. There is little doubt in my mind that Trapped Emotions affect our personality. Trapped emotions cause painful spots or hot spots that when touched by another can cause a fiery reaction. For example, perhaps I have suffered from the emotion of abandonment. You might verbally poke me on that part of me that feels insecure about my job or family which in turn stirs up that feeling of desertion. In response, my reaction might be over the top, leaving you to wonder what you said.
Taking it a step further, if that Trapped Emotion is not released, it can cause dis-ease or ill-ness in my body, specifically in my heart or small intestine. It can also cause me a lot of trouble in society.
8. Tell me a few things about you.
8. I have over thirty-five years of experience helping others. In 2001, I earned the highest degree as a Reiki Master/Teacher and I went on to earn a Masters of Metaphysical Sciences in 2008. I was also awarded an honorary Doctorate in Divinity for a published work, Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World, 2008. After working with others for many years in individual and classroom healing work I understood that I could reach far more by sharing those teaching methods in books than I could ever reach in the classroom setting. So, I began to share my teaching classes in book and eBook format. It has always been my desire to help others. Although I understand that my methods and teachings are not for everyone, it is my deepest desire that those who are ready for the information I share will find my published works at the perfect time for them.
I also write fiction books. In those, there is usually a character who struggles with his or her own acceptance of some metaphysical aspect of their lives such as dreams, visions, or some other spiritual gift. Although I admit that I write about some very dark topics, such as sexual abuse, it is to raise awareness of the struggles that someone must deal with and overcome to find health and peace in their lives. It is to show the reader that they are not alone.
