The Lesson Repeats as Needed – Organic Transformation aka Learning Things the Hard Way

Image Source Lessons repeat as needed. You know, these situations when you think – damn, I’ve been here before. Sometimes you’ve been in that place even several times. So why does this madness repeat? It’s not meeting you at the same old level of awareness and evolution. You’ve made quite some progress in the meantime. Look closer: It’s not exactly the same, right? To level up, add trust and openness. Like, the ‘heart cracked wide open’ kind of openness. Things will change quickly, avalanches of insight will fall into your heart. The moment you switch your head off things get more dangerous and – paradoxically enough – safer than you could ever wish for. You hand yourself over to invisible hands. Faith. You get still and listen. It’s like an exam. To pass it you need to apply what you have learned so far. The night is darkest right…

Before I Go: A Neurosurgeon’s Final Reflections On Mortality

Time warps for a young surgeon with metastatic lung cancer In residency, there’s a saying: The days are long, but the years are short. In neurosurgical training, the day usually began a little before 6 a.m., and lasted until the operating was done, which depended, in part, on how quick you were in the OR. Time at home. Time well spent A resident’s surgical skill is judged by his technique and his speed. You can’t be sloppy and you can’t be slow. From your first wound closure onward, spend too much time being precise and the scrub tech will announce, “Looks like we’ve got a plastic surgeon on our hands!” Or say: “I get your strategy — by the time you finish sewing the top half of the wound, the bottom will have healed on its own. Half the work — smart!” A chief resident will advise a junior: “Learn…

Awakening Abundance

The concept of all-sufficiency was an essential knowing in all ancient teachings of self-knowledge. The ancients understood that knowing oneself meant knowing that the divine energy that creates worlds, exists within each of us and can manifest any vision held in our consciousness. Students of the mysteries were initiated into the teachings of magnetic powers or what many have to come refer to as, the laws of attraction. By working with these divine unseen forces once could magnetize or call forth whatever was needed to be used for good will. Thus money as an exchange was a token of integrity and inner harmony. Christ said, but if you will not know yourself then you will dwell in poverty and it is you who is that poverty. These esoteric teachings speak to our ability to transform vision into form. Knowledge of thought form energy and the Spirit of creation were combined…

The 12 Biggest Life Secrets Forgotten by Mankind

The more I ponder about life, the more I come to one solid realization: The biggest curse and predicament of modern Man is forgetfulness. Like a creeping malaise, forgetfulness has seeped through all of Man’s being and doing. Individually, collectively, historically or culturally, we are spellbound to forget. We haven’t only forgot our past but also our place in the present and our responsibility of the future. On a personal level, our ego-based state of consciousness is on a mission to keep us in this state of forgetfulness – to break the link to our being as a whole and to the interconnected web of life and universal consciousness. On a collective level, this forgetfulness is perpetuated and reinforced by social and cultural means – mainly by being tranced into a reality of unconscious consumerism, inauthentic lifestyles and a materialistic mindset. The brighter side of it is that we…

Shadow Work 3: Healing Grief

If you haven’t read the previous articles in the series, you can do so here: Shadow Work 1: An Introduction Shadow Work 2: Healing the Inner Child Healing Grief This is a powerful time for shedding light onto some aspects of our own personality that we may have lost contact with. The soul is always longing to be healed, integrated and brought into more awareness. I thought it would be appropriate to focus on how to work directly with our painful life challenges. I would like to offer some insight into my beliefs about why we experience pain and challenges to begin with from a spiritual perspective. As someone who believes we create our own reality, I believe everything that we experience is always in a state of divine perfection. That being the case, everything the Universe offers to us is neutral in its meaning. It is our judgement of…

Shadow Work 2: Healing the Inner Child

If you haven’t read the previous article in the series, you can do so here: Shadow Work 1: An Introduction Healing the Inner Child Our feelings and emotions matter far more than we ever imagined. Much of our society has been taught that emotions are something we need to suppress or to control. However, the latest research says quite different. We are learning that on a quantum level, our emotions are a direct indicator of the vibration that we are offering to the Universe. Long before our thoughts manifest into physical reality (where we are able to visibly see what we are attracting) the emotions indicated physically in our body can tune us into exactly what signals we are sending out. This serves as an emotional guidance system which will allow us to learn more about our own individual and true divine nature. It also gives us much deeper insight into…

Shadow Work 1: An Introduction

An Introduction to Shadow Work The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow. Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow… Welcome to my three-part series on one of the most profound healing practices you can learn and implement into your life. Carl Jung called this shadow work. He said we never see others, instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall ‘over’ them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations. Shadow work is one of my favorite practices to share. I have found it to be one of the most challenging, yet simultaneously the most rewarding of the many types of healing modalities that I utilize on my path to Enlightenment. This work is for anyone who truly wants to come to know all aspects of their invisible self. Both their light and their darkness. What I have found is that by embracing the darker aspects of…

What Is The Only Perfection?

The word “Perfection”, as defined in the dictionary, is the condition, state, or quality of being free, or as free as possible, from all flaws or defects. Although individual definitions are relative, as perfection to one person may not be perfection to another. We are all influenced by different standards of what we think is satisfactory, and even more, we are surely influenced by different ideas of what exceeds our expectations. Our perspectives differ from person to person and perspective influences what we think is desirable and undesirable. Even something to be marveled at for example, such as a construction of modern engineering like the Burj Khalifa or the 8 wonders of the world, all of which can be considered perfect to one type of person or hardly worth looking at to another. Some say that nature is perfect and flawless. Yet one can argue that it is not, for…

Deep “E”-cology: Coming Home to Ourselves

There’s a war going on, and it’s not with Iraq. (Or Afghanistan. Or Syria.) This war is on a scale so vast it’s difficult to see, so ancient we’ve taken it for granted. It’s a war that has been gathering momentum since humanity first became conscious. It cuts to the very core of existence. It’s what drives the corporations and the deep ecologists, the religious right and the lovers. It’s woven so tightly into the fabric of our lives that we’ve accepted it blandly, without knowing there was ever a choice. It’s caused untold human misery for millennia, and still it burns on, more vividly in the digital age than ever before, as our collective awakening arches toward Armageddon — or quantum evolution. It is the struggle between truth and heresy. Between subservience and sovereignty. Between opening our minds to wisdom, and clinging to what we’d prefer to believe. Between…

Ready For A Major Breakthrough? It Starts With Fire

Fire Soul. You know, your soul has signed up for a lifetime of being fused. Purgatory. Phoenix souls disobey many natural laws. They fall, they die, they resurrect and soar, stronger than before. Knowing they’re going to die over and over again. It’s insane and not for the faint of heart. But having those magical phoenix traits, you’re aware of your depth and strength. You can handle your mission. You can stand to look into the abyss, sensing the heat that’s going to kill you, with terror in your eyes, your ears ringing, heart racing, knees shaking, tears pouring down your cheeks – knowing that it will happen. Well, of course there is something like a choice for you. There is always an alternative, even with your back against a wall, you’ll still find a way out, a plan B. But if you refuse to be fused, it will get…
