Your beliefs shape your life
Our beliefs form from a very early age, and can affect how we see ourselves and our place in society; you will have beliefs around how much money you will earn, beliefs about how you are as a parent, child, sibling or partner, beliefs about where you live and so on. Many of these beliefs will be subconscious- you won’t even know that they are there. If your intention contradicts this subconscious belief, then your subconscious mind will be sending out vibrations which will push it away and you will never attract it. No matter what our beliefs are, we will always find evidence to support them- because we will attract it! If you believe that you …

Why Negative Life Lessons Are So Valuable
When looking for ways to improve our lives, what is it we usually focus on? Don’t we tend to focus on things that will move our reality in a more positive direction? Typically, we look for ways to experience greater happiness, create more leisure time, or increase our level of success. Regardless of the area we focus on, the intent is usually to make some degree of positive improvement, to notch things up to the next level. While this is a very important part of personal development, it is really less than fifty percent of the big picture. Why do I say that? Because in reality, the greater part of personal development comes from learning… Negative life lessons I know, it sounds strange and even a…

The Dark Night of the Soul
Not too long ago, I had a request to write about the dark night of the soul. It’s not a topic I would generally write about, or rather this is not the way I generally refer to such things. The reason being is that this type of dramatic terminology, “Dark Night of the Soul,” is very much ego-based. All the connotations are of death, destruction, lost-faith, and misery. That’s why I wrote a blog post some time ago called, “Sacred Destruction: The Removal of Obstacles in Spiritual Rebirth.” In this post, I really focus on why this type of destruction…
