  Vibration---      Let’s start our journey of learning first by understanding what vibration is. This basis will allow you to use your own insight to navigate the realms of consciousness ahead of you, without the need to be told what to do. If you can understand vibration, you can use that compass to direct your experience in the direction YOU choose, not what someone else chooses for you.      When we talk about vibration this way, we are talking about feeling vibrations, but in order to understand it better we can look at the frequencies of tones in music or of colors on the spectrum of light.      Each one of these notes and colors are unique and valid in their own right, even if some are higher on the spectrum and some are lower. Sound and color can also help us to understand that there are certain vibrations out of our realm of perception but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.      An octave in music has 7 note...

Hi there! Let's take 2 seconds to talk about privilege. In the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and all the talk of systematic racism going on, the words "white privilege" have been coming up a lot, but it's not just a white thing. There is "male privilege" which is something enjoyed by men. There is "CIS privilege" which is enjoyed by straight gender conforming individuals. Obviously there is nothing wrong with being these things. You have no choice in the matter as to whether you are born black or white, male, female or other, or are straight or gay. But it seems sometimes when privilege is pointed out some people become angry and think they are being shamed. That's not the point, so let me try to explain what is. When we use these new terms around privilege I personally am never trying or looking for anybody to feel bad or guilty about themselves for it. What would the point of that be? How would that help the situation? Maybe an ang...

Manifesting circumstances as an individual is different than manifesting circumstances as a collective--- There is an important distinction we need to make as new-agers who believe we create our own reality. Yes, this is true, we create our reality as an individual. Our life is our responsibility and a reflection of our thinking, but that applies to our personal reality. We always have the power to manifest on an individual level, but here's the thing... Diversity illustration by Hope McConnell Racism is not an individual issue. It's a societal issue, a collective issue. A lot of times, in order to manifest on an individual level, you have to separate yourself from a collective understanding of reality. MAYBE, and this is a BIG maybe, you could as a POC manifest an experience without racist harassment directed at you, for instance like Candace Owens professes, but that does not mean that it erases racism for the rest of the world. On a collective level, we hav...

This world is going through a lot. It's easy to look around, at the news and at our hectic lives and feel overwhelmed. There are so many problems. One's mind is often thrown about from side to side in the emotional chaos that surrounds us. How can we change it? How can we make a difference, as a single person? It's important to take deep breathes and remember to care for ourselves. The more peace we bring into ourselves, the more peace we bring into the world. When we are still living at a point in our own lives, where we are easily thrown off balance, and feel like we loose our strength again and again, we can't do much for the world. We have to start small.. with OUR world. Small steps forward. Planting seeds for tomorrow. There are many little things you can do today to make tomorrow better, like meal preping some healthy food, getting ahead on your chores, writing your to-do list ahead of time, cultivating awareness of the beautiful things in your life, resting prop...

An original work of  fiction entitled "The First Story" by Lua Angelique "The fall ain't your fault, it was just one step" by James R. Eads Mother Earth in all her benevolence and generosity has graciously accepted us, the intergalactic wanderers, the lost little experimenter, the cosmic explorers, as guests on this planet. Millions and billions of years ago we dedicated ourselves to a journey. This journey had one fierce goal: Experience.  It was an extreme challenge but as the daring explorers that we are, we took up the call:  “I have decided that I will live out every last possibility that existence has to offer,” you said. Yes, that was you who said that. And I. All of us. You see, back then we were one. Just one little point of consciousness, one little eye, one little speck of awareness: The I Am. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard of the I Am many times. The mystics have alluded to it, the religions try to pawn it as their own. But the I Am is...

"Art of Judgement" by Victo Ngai The Light of awareness is not an emotion.  The Light of awareness sees emotions. It sees what is there. Light is not the same as bliss or joy or ecstasy. When the life coaches tell you to ‘follow your bliss,’ it’s not the same thing as following the light.  The issue here on this planet is that we are 7 billion souls living side to side, and none of us are here to learn the same lesson. This is why we are dissatisfied with most of our schools systems in the West. The industrialized model of schools tries to make everything fit an exact mold. And while there are basic things that everyone should know, we are also incredibly different. We have different talents and strengths.  A good leader or teacher is the one who knows how to identify those strengths, see them in his students or employees and get them the proper training or set them to the proper task. In this way, both the group and the individual receive benefit. The individ...

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...
