This life is so magical. Its such an amazing opportunity to be triggered by outside appearances and decide to go deeply into ourselves to find the truth. The truth is who we really are, our eternal source, our perfect unchanging self. That magical spark of source :) Many, many humans have searched for that center point, but the strange thing is it’s actually not that hard to find. As children we do it so easily. So why do some people continue on these never ending journeys and never seem to be satisfied? Why don’t they seem to be able to find an end? Why do they always return to their belief in their own smallness? It’s because the spiritual journey is not a set track, it’s a moving target. That eternal moving target: consciousness expanding In an infinite eternal universe, there can never be an end. But does that mean we will always keep falling back into despair and separation? No. That is what many people experience, but this is not how the case should...

As a child I was incredibly fearful. I was shy and quiet and a bit afraid of people or making new friends. I was also afraid of ghosts, monsters, sharks, bugs, fish and especially the dark. I attribute this fear to that fact that I was incredibly imaginitive. I could always see stories and scenarios play out in my head very vividly. I could turn the world around me into anything I wanted and set the stage for a beautiful play. But this was also true of the images I found most disturbing. If the thought of a ghost or monster (or tiny brutal dinosaur from Jurrasic Park) came into my mind, I thought I had no control over it and I became terrified. I believed in and experienced my imagination so vividly and believed that my beautiful games and princess fantasies were real, that when a monster creeped in I thought I was powerless. And I would curl up in a ball and cry. At some point around 7 or 8, my mind decided it was necesary for me to adopt the belief that I could not create these ...

A poem: A War Against Productivity- This incessant need to show you are worthy, Prove you are something, An asset they won't downsize. God forbid you don't produce. God forbid you don't give them the only thing they want from you: Your productivity, Your incessant work, That need to do, To just get something done. You're a robot with no program, No prime directive, And yet you actually view your freedom as a curse, A defect, a malfunction. The saddest brain washing that ever was. No matter how hard I try This brain washing can't get me clean, Can't remove these blood stains, Can't keep me from feeling dirty. Who let them do this to us? How did this robotic fluid fill my veins like the machines in their factories? Even in my leisure I'm a slave to their screens. Witnessing torture and deceipt, blood, gore, lies, betrayal. And I fail to see how we distrust our own humanity so much that we no longer look each other in the eyes. I...

Today I finally fulfilled a very big dream of mine, which was to make YouTube videos! I, like practically everyone in our generation, love YouTube and have grown up on it. I've laughed, learned, and awakened in a lot of ways thanks to the video sharing platform. So for a long time I imagined myself making and sharing my own videos with others, being creative and connecting with people through internet community, but like a lot of us I held myself back. I over complicated it for myself. ---No longer! Here it is. Till next time, LL

I may not know you, but I love you.  That shouldn't be hard to believe. You're awesome! :) And since I love you so much, I want to give you a couple pieces of advice to make your life better. So here are 5 tips to make your life better from which you can pick and choose, as you like: 1. Watch a sunset or a sunrise in the next 24 hours. The colors will blow your head off. Seriously, I think the border between day and night is possibly the most magical times of the day. Magic happens. Everyday. One of the reasons I recommend this is because of mindfulness. Ever heard of it? This meditation technique is everywhere nowadays. It means to be fully present and conscious in this now moment. Not wrapped up in worry, not ruminating over the argument you had with your best friend, not on autopilot. Just here and now. Noticing, without judging anything as good or bad. But to learn this valuable tool of mindfulness can be a bitch, especially when you are trying to be mindf...

Affirmations are a wonderful way to reinforce beliefs you'd like to implant into yourself, but just reading them like a bored teenager dullly reads a history lesson out loud in class will not do much for your vibration or your subconscious. The technique of repeating phrases over and over again becomes incredibly more impactful if you try your best to FEEL the emotions behind the phrase. Imagine yourself as a method actor, and your task is to read your line as if you really believed this about yourself. Feel it. The following is a series of affirmations meant to encourage feelings of power and transcendence. Let's see how you do. Speak each phrase out loud and as you do, put in as much effort as possible to feel what you are saying, draw on memories from your past to do so. Repeat the phrase a few times if desired. Here we go. "I am an eternal and abundant creator. I am vast in my spirit and soul reach, I reach all over the universe. I liste...

Today when I dropped my daughter India off at kindergarten, before we got out of the car me sat for a moment to hear the end of a fun song. We were singing and dancing and just feeling wonderful. When I turned off the radio she said in her cute little 4 year old voice “That was beautiful, mom” and my heart felt utter gratitude for such a lovely moment. Later in the day, while working on my writing I decided to take a look at the old notes saved on my computer and came across this one, written on November 15 th , 2016, just a little less than a year ago: “I’m fascinated by that state of gratitude and appreciation for something you don’t have yet. I imagine myself driving around in my car blasting the radio and singing at the top of my lungs Katy Perry and Justin Bieber songs. The thing I will like the most is to pick up India at kindergarten and have her feel nice and warm and cuddly in my car. I want her to feel super good when I drop her off every morning, feel really loved a...
