Suffering has no value unless we use it consciously.

See yourself as Presence
When your own wounds are truly healed, you’ll be less reactive to the unconscious behavior of others.
Through the process of awakening, we come to recognize our wounds and understand what triggers our own reactivity. From this space of awareness, challenging people and situations are transformed into empowerment. As you walk consciously through the world, you’ll discover greater peace and compassion. When you witness others caught in their self-made distress, instead of joining them there, you’ll bring a sense of calmness and purpose to the present moment.
Rather than seeing yourself as a student, healer, teacher or someone who is enlightened, see yourself as Presence – the nameless, formless, infinite source of being. You are far more than the roles you play in this life. You ARE life, an ever-expending expression of the love, light and laughter of the universe.
Be in the world, but not of it
Make a commitment to yourself to be a source of peace and compassion.
It’s interesting to watch our collective exploration into the dark tunnels of ego and opinion. With every interaction, purchase, news story or rumor, many feel the need to participate in voicing their perception, ultimately seeking others who will validate their point of view.
Clashing viewpoints have led to escalation because both sides insist their interpretation is accurate. Throughout negative interactions, the ego generates negative energy to feed upon until those involved are taken over by their pain-body. All conflict in the world is the result of individual unconsciousness that becomes collective.
Spiritual seekers must guard against getting pulled into situations that lower their vibration. Only share your viewpoint when it can be expressed without judgment or blame and you have absolutely no attachment to the outcome. When we interact with love, compassion, detachment and kindness, we have an opportunity to plant seeds that may grow. Your loving presence may create a space in which a transformation can occur.
Life changing moments
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Choose to bring an unprotected heart to your meeting place.
Love empowers us to discover who we are in the presence of another. As we release limiting beliefs, heal old emotional wounds and come to realize our own value, we cease seeking outside validation. Love is transformed from ego-driven neediness into healthy, supportive interactions.
Everyone in your life is in a continual process of growth and one of the greatest challenges is to drop your own expectations and attachments. Your willingness to allow those you love to learn their lessons in their own way creates a space where transformation can occur.
Ram Dass once said, “We are all just walking each other home.” Whether someone graces your life for a moment or for many years, simply love them as fellow travelers. Should your paths diverge, be grateful for the aspects of the journey you have shared and all that you have learned together.
Empowerment
Conscious action transforms victimhood into empowerment.
Stop acting so small
Love what is
What you fight, you strengthen.
Be here now
This is the moment of transformation.
Cosmic humor
Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never cease to be amused…
