The world is filled with bright ideas,
innovative solutions, and great opportunities. The biggest challenge always
lies in finding your own motivation and willingness. In Eastern traditions,
there’s an old expression about the journey to enlightenment. It’s been said
that if you don’t seek your total liberation of heart and mind with the
passion, focus, and conviction of a man with his hair on fire looking for
water, then don’t bother!
On the other hand, remember that it’s okay
to stay exactly as you are. There’s no need to change, unless you feel the need. There’s nothing “wrong” unless life
doesn’t feel right. Listen to your innermost spirit and ask yourself: Is there more to who I am? Is there more
that I have yet to share?
“More” isn’t about what you have or what
people think–it’s being soulful, mindful, and full hearted. It’s about being
more you. At times, your version of
more will be doing less and working
harder to simply accept yourself as you are. The end of Inspiration Deficit
Disorder comes from action, but what that action is will be different for every
person. Some people reading this will say, “Yes! This is the time to slow
down,” and others will say, “Yes! This is the time to speed up!” The next step
is all about what your inner wisdom tells you. It concerns fully embracing who
you are and making positive new choices now.
What choices are you going to make today for positive change in your life?
Excerpt from Inspiration Deficit Disorder.

Gaga For My Guru
Ok, so to begin, I am not a big fan of TV or pop culture in general, and while I think everything has its place in the world, I wasn’t overly interested in Lady Gaga a week ago. I certainly knew who she was and of course lots of her songs are catchy – but a “meat suit” – really??? It just

Does God Have a Name?
We were on the road to
Malinalco, Mexico, when we came upon clusters of people of all ages walking
along the highway. It was surprising and mysterious to me. As we passed
families, groups, and individuals, I felt as if I were looking through the car
window into a world I couldn't begin to comprehend

Go Beyond Fear
Approach the world of spiritual practice
with trust and an open heart. Don't be afraid of spiritual experiences. Strange
sensations of energy, a feeling of deep love, vulnerability, connectedness, and
a loss of ego and control are all aspects of spiritual experience that test and
try people's limits

A Thanksgiving Gift
For the American reader, Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Regardless
of the cloudy history of this celebration, it has come to mean a time of
family, food and discount shopping - not always in that order. Naturally, it's
all to be sprinkled with a dose of gratitude and reflection. Before&

The Art of Intuition
If you wanted to be great at a sport, a natural
necessity in your training would involve first assessing what muscles and
systems of the body you'll use most, and then building an exercise plan around
that information. In fact, you would likely need physical conditioning before
you could even take c

That’s right the more we are with ourselves the more will we be able to know about the ways of God. Walking on the path shown by Him and keeping him in our minds in all our actions is something that will indeed hep in the process of knowing Him a little.

Amen Brother! This is the entire purpose of our human journey…to know ourselves and thereby to know (that which some call) God. We are inherently called, compelled, provoked to seek out this knowledge. It is a divine moment of Grace when we realize that this inner longing will not be fulfilled in things outside of us, but can only be realized in self-knowledge and knowledge of God….and then in the generous sharing of who we are in the world. AUM!
